HD graphics 3000 is about the same performance as a desktop radeon HD 5450.when I had a 5450 I played games like max payne 3,assassins creed 2,resident evil 5,gta 4,modern warfare 3,mass effect 2 etc all were smooth and playable except gta 4 which is horrible port anyways on lowest setting at 720p at 20-25fps so I,reckon that if I could plat those games smoothly you will also be able to play assasisns creed 4 at lowest setting 15-20fps.
