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

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!

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.

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.
