I run it... so much negativity lol. I find tbh that although its not the greatest my i5-2450m with intel hd3000 with 6gb of ram is actually ok, I run it on low and it doesn't lag or judder. Its quite disappointing that all the threads like this say you can't run this you can't run that... spend more money etc.. some people cant afford it and they just want to play games with what they've got I just wish people would just say something more constructive than the no..

I have not used my Intel video that is built into the i5-3470 I use (I believe it is an Intel HD 3000 series) but the HD1500 that was built into an older system did not game at all and barely ran Windows 7... I would suggest spending a little extra on a graphics card if at all possible. I spent $60 including shipping/tax/etc for an R7 250 2gb DDR3 card that games quite well and does awesome on video. If you cannot spend that much, I have seen new HD6450 1gb DDR3 cards for $35-45 range (many at $40).

Im planning on buying a new laptop just toplay games like watchdogs, the LEGO games( sounds childish but they are awesome) GTA IV Call of Duty ghosts and what not. These are the spes of the pc:

win 8.1 64
4th generation Intel® Core™ i7-4510U Dual Core Processor + Intel HD Graphics 4600/4400
12GB DDR3L System Memory (2 Dimm)
1TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive.

Is this good enough?

And also is 4-cell 41WHr Lithium-ion Battery good?

Are you saying that these games are playable with intel hd graphics 2000 or higher on 1080p except mentioned otherwise?
Why would I need a new gaming pc if I can play these games on my laptop which has i3 sandy bridge with hd 3000. I've played GTA San Andreas on my laptop 1080p with low settings & AA off with avg. frame rate of 50.
Tried GTA 4 but is not playable even at the lowest res. & settings.

Thanks a lot mate. This is a very useful post.

I also want to add that if you are using a Intel i3 with Intel HD Graphcs 4400, I think you should also check your graphics properties. This is because processors on laptops have a dynamic power saving property, which reduces the performance and frame rate so as to improve battery life. Check it in Intel Graphics Properties > Power > Then check maximum performance in both the tabs that say "On Battery" and "On AC Power" or something like that. This way, you can play most games at maximum settings, upto 2010, as long as you keep the anti-alising/anisotropic filter off and also keep the v-sync to off.

Also, make sure to keep the virtual memory to the highest amount you can allot. I have set it to min 20 GB (holy cow!, but yes ) to a max of 50 gb (I know, intel Hd graphics sucks, but, nothing we can do). That way, you can play almost all games at max settings ( no AA and no v-sync ), without getting the god aweful "out of memory" settings.

I even ran NFS Most Wanted 2012 at medium settings at 720p with this method. Or set it at 800x600 with max settings. The second one is awesul by the way. And if you want a pretty slide show, you can have all the settings max and have a gorgeous 10 fraps slide show. Must say, the game happens to be quite a looker. :D

Only good thing is that we can play all games uptp 2010 at max settings with these settings at 1080p or 720p.Personally, I prefer 720p, because the difference b/w 1080p and 720p is almost non existent to my eyes, which I take as a god's blessing and use the extra power for 2-4x AA. Fun, right ? Honestly, no :(

Hope this helps.

nfs games up to undercover i had not played anithing above that
tomb raider 2013
dead space 1 and 2 i didnt played 3
ok im tired of naming games
you can play anything that is well optimized up to 2013 with this the problem starts if the game is poorly optimized and requires 64 bit operating system basicaly i suggest 64 bit os, 4 gigs of ram and the pirate bay for download and testing if the game runs on your laptop/pc

my specs
laptop hp eliteook 8440p
first gen intel i5 2core cpu on 2.4 gigaherz
4 gig ram
intel hd graphics (first generation) lowest kind it sais that uses 1.7 gig of memory and these intel integrated gpu work by taking your ram memory and reserving it for them self so from my 4 gig of ram windows will take for itself 1 gig and graphic card will on average take 1gig too and that leaves me with 2 gigs for gaming
operating system windows 10 64 bit

i hope this helps

I know this is a total necro, but I thought it was worth mentioning that SysReqLabs will tell you you can't run anything on HD2000 because it doesn't recognize it as a true GPU.

I have an HP Pavilion G6 Notebook laptop with Intel HD Graphics 3000 with the Intel core i3-2370m 2.40 Ghz processor and 8 GB DDR3. What I did with it was put bottle caps beneath it to improve vent, turn Windows Indexing off to speed up and reduce the use of the HDD and use iObit Game Booster's Game Desktop feature to focus processing power on a game. I managed to play FEAR 2 at max settings at 1280x720 without anti-aliasing and it runs at 35-50 FPS.
