A bit lower. Cards in the $50 - $75 range.
And I don't think the iGPUs need to *beat* these, just get close.
If the $60 card only gives you a 50% boost over the iGPU that
you have (and paid for ... you can't get a refund), it gets hard
to justify that $60 card even though it is faster than the iGPU.
My current read is that Intel iGPUs pretty much match the $50 cards
and AMD iGPUs match the $60 cards.
