BF 1: The GTX 660 is 4.5 years old. Radeon 7850 is 4.75 years old. It appears to start on an Intel HD 4600 (released in mid-2013, so 3.5 years old, 1 year newer than minimum requirements for discrete GPUs) in this video [0] and Intel has released drivers specifically to counteract bugs in BF1 [1]. That certainly sounds like it starts on at least some iGPUs to me?
For the record, I played BF 1 at 3440x1440 on my GTX 670 (which I just replaced with a 1070 on Xmas Eve). It was plenty playable. No, I couldn't crank the settings to ultra, but most casual PC gamers don't expect to be able to.
