Max payne 3 with i3 4130

[DamienBraganza]

Can I play max payne 3 with i3 4130, 4gb ram? I do not have a dedicated GPU and I am relying on my integrated GPU which intel HD 4400. I don't mind if i play on low settings. Just want to know if its playable with the above mentioned specs.

Thanks Damien

I very much doubt it will be a good experience. Might be barely playable on min settings at a low resolution (e.g. 1280x720).

I very much doubt it.

Hey there,

Only Burnout Paradise? I still play COD Modern warfare 1, 2 and 3 without any lag. My Integrated graphic card has memory of 1.7 gb.

Yeah, I removed that after thinking about it for a few minutes - it's not quite that bad. My MCPC has the exact same CPU (an i3 4130), and I still have Max Payne 3 around somewhere. If you like I can install it (along with FRAPS) and tell you how I go. But I just can't imagine it will be a good experience, since it barely runs Minecraft smoothly.

If you could try and let me know that would be great.

It's installing as I write this. Will take a while to set up, and try some different settings.

Ok, I have played a little bit (about the first 10 minutes). At 1080p (i.e. 1920x1080) resolution it is totally unplayable at near minimum settings (~15 fps). At 1280x720, however, it gets around 30 fps, which is actually not that bad and fully playable. Bear in mind I have no antialiasing set, no tesselation, 2x anistropic filtering, and it's apparently using 320 MB of VRAM (you can change the amount available in your PCs BIOS - I have mine set to 1GB). So, to answer your question, YES you can play Max Payne 3 on an i3 4130 using it's integrated HD4400 graphics. Colour me surprised, but it totally works. It ain't exactly pretty though!

Great!! thank you buddy. Appreciate every bit of it.

Hey just wanted to let you know I too installed the game and it works at 1280x720 (60mhz). Boy i never expected i3 to perform this well with the IGPU.
