Intel HD 3000?

[TimeTravel42]

Would I be able to play this game on my laptop which has intel hd 3000 graphics and 1.7 gbs of shared memory and an i3 processor?

I don't know. But Just Cause 2 is an unbelievably open-world game with beautiful graphics and it can run on a phone. I wish Skyrim would have used the same technology.

I believe Just Cause 2 was definitely the most under-rated game in 2012.

You can check the result for skyrim there :

17 fps in low for an i3, almost unplayable. ->The benchmarks indicate that the game is not playable in the tested settings.

This is coming up a lot today. Lots of potential new players. Here's what I've and others have recommended looking into - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWC08TxJxBw

You can also search for HiAlgoboost on the Skyrim nexus site which helps with low framerate issues.

I used to play this game on the same set up you have.
Run it full screen, 1024x768 res, everything low but textures, it'll run perfectly fine.

Thanks everyone, I'll be buying this game as soon as possible.
