Hello,
I own a low end laptop and would like to purchase a game that states it requires a gt8800 as the minimum graphics requirements. My laptop has the integrated intel hd4400 gpu and I am wondering if this will be good enough to power the game. Thanks

your reaching a bit too far there......not sure of many people who an recall such fine detail.

however, with that said, there are a few games which will run well. But that depends alot on your CPU too.

Ive an I73620QM and an HD 4000 iGPU. I play games like Grid 2 (car racing game), and CSGO. I play on the laptops native resolution of 1366 x 768 on high settings @60fps. It plays well, and smooth. BF3 plays well, with some graphical tweaks and runs at about 40-60 fps, depending on what maps you play.

You will have to do a little research to see which game suits your system. There is no hard and fast rule. If you have a decent CPU though, along with the HD4x00 there will be a whole host of games that you can play, just not anything...
