Replaced an aged machine for my daughter (2390T, lol) although it was paired with a RX 560 to play minimal games, Minecraft/Roblox... Either way I've had trouble with the PCIE16X slot switching from the IGP (will resolve later - HP machine) but was curious to see how this chip was on it's own considering it only uses a UHD 610. TBH, not bad, plays Roblox games just fine and Minecraft w/4xMSAA on. A bit shocked b/c now I feel the RX 560 might just get sold, lol.

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark the gold standard for users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
