Playing CS:GO without a dedicated graphics card is definitely a challenge but not impossible! You can optimize your game settings by lowering the resolution, setting all graphics settings to the lowest, and turning off fancy effects like shadows and reflections. This minimizes the strain on your CPU's integrated graphics. Also, make sure your drivers are up to date to squeeze out every bit of performance. Another tip is to keep your PC as cool as possible to prevent thermal throttling.

Been there, done that! I played CS:GO on my old laptop with no dedicated GPU for months. Lower your expectations (and your resolution) and you'll be fine. It's all about that strategic gameplay, not the flashy graphics!

Honestly, just save up for a basic GPU. Integrated graphics will let you play the game, but the experience is gonna be far from enjoyable. CS:GO is competitive, and playing with low fps and graphics can put you at a disadvantage.
