Not if the onboard graphics are an R7 . And not if you're trying to run a 1440p monitor at native resolution.

You'll get 30fps on low at 1080p on games from maybe 2017 and earlier. Trying to run anything at 1440p will kill it. For the same money you could buy a decent 1080p monitor AND a card, which you might as well do if you can't run anything at 1440 anyway .

I won't deny being a graphics snob though, I'm running a £750 card .
