Any one using iGPU (Intel CPU) to power there Mame build?

Is anyone using Intel built in GPU on there CPU to power there mame system, and mainly using HLSL setitngs?.

Im looking at build a bartop cab and wondering if any of the Intel chips have enough grunt via iGPU to run mame with HLSL settings enabled, I know the i5 2500K have HD3000 chip on the CPU but not sure if this would be enough for HLSL?

In a word, yes. You'll be fine.

I have the 2500K, and it runs everything (including NFL Blitz) at 100%, including HLSL. The only exceptions I've found are multi-monitor games (Punch-Out, Darius, etc.) and I don't know if that's due to the iGPU, or Mame's implementation of HLSL-- unfortunately I also have no way to test (no room for discreet GPU in my build.)

Turn off HLSL on those games, they're 100% playable.

That said, unless you already have the 2500K on hand, why not wait a month and put a Haswell in it? LOTS of advantages for bartop build.

Thanks for the info, im guess the Haswell chip will have a HD5000 gpu in it then

Would you be willing to share your HLSL settings in your config file?  I have an i3 3225 and I am having difficulty getting HLSL to work @ 100% (best I can get to is 70 or so).

I'm not running any multi monitor setups; just the vertical classics (galaga, etc.).
