Is intel HD 3000 good for alot of the new games coming out on steam

[Dylan Hayabusa]

i have a laptop and its graphics card isnt the best but im able to play somethings i just want to know if theres anyone else who has an intel 3000 graphics card and if you guys could list some popular games you can play with with good fps from the card :D

Not gonna run most games out there; NO.

If u want to play most DX/OGL games, especially on a laptop, then it needs to have a dedicated Radeon or NVIDIA GPU to run games even remotely well.

Not saying u can't run games on the Intel HD, but u will most likely have to turn all the in-game visuals down low and maybe even lower the screen resolution in-game to allow for a smooth enough FPS that is playable.

As far as what can u play? Well mostly older games that do not require a hefty GPU for one. Alot of the Indie games as well as most of the Valve Source games don't require too much GPU power to run well.

What brand & model of laptop is it?

[Volund]

Will it run things, yes. Will they run well, no.

Integrated graphics are not meant for gaming, and AAA titles are not designed for that sort of hardware. As the above poster mentioned, source engine games will do OK, as will many indie games. You won't be playing any of the "latest and greatest" with very high graphics settings or resolution.

No.
If you wanna a tiny shiny brand new ultrabook, look closer to models with HD4000, 4400, 4600 graphics on the board.
At least this ones will allow u to play in most games (i.e. modern i.e. AAA and i.e. graphic-intensive)... at low settings likely.

Yea Intel HD 4000 series is alot better compared to previous (2000 or 3000 series), but to get 4000 series GPU, u would need to have a 4th Gen series CPU.

time to get an alien ware then

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Much better ones out there than Alienware...

ASUS, MSI, Sager, Clevo, Origin

[Dylan Hayabusa]

interesting

If ever interested, please share a pricing range budget and then we could suggest options that meet your budget.

haha srsly ok how about like i dunno $600-$700

Hi, i doubt you would find a purpose built gaming laptop for anything less than around 900 dollars. But if increasing your budget is not an option, there are many normal 15.6" laptops coming out now with relatively decent GPU's so you may want to try your luck with one of those. Though for around 1000 dollars you could get an MSI ge60, i can personally say its a great laptop XD (first post but i LOVE my laptops :-P)

For under $1000 range, best u will probably find are the 14" and 15" IdeaPad Y-series laptops from Lenovo. Pretty much the best under this pricing range, as even something just as good from Acer will fetch approx $1200 or more.

wow those seem pretty powerfull but judging by there parts would you say its worth it?

[thorian]

Im Running a Ideapad y520p It runs bioshock infinate at ultra 1080p That is about the newest game I have. Picked it up for $930 shipped. with a Nvidia 755m and a I7 8GB ram and a 24GB SSD cache drive it seems pretty speedy. There is the option for later on popping in a second 755m for SLI but I dont need it At the moment.

People I know have finished Assassin's Creed Brotherhood on a laptop with that card on it.
