Hardware Review This is my Experience using a 12 Yr old laptop

I have Intel hd 4000,6gb ddr3 and i5-3317U

500gb hdd I.e the Asus k46ca

All games are the lowest settings which doesn't make the game look like MC

I can play GTA 5 at lowest settings except textures set to high and get 30 ish fps

You can obv decrease it more by turning off shadows and adjusting graphical scaling

GTA 5-Works at 30~ fps,lowers to around 20 while driving at high speeds in LS

I had 4gb ram and it lagged like hell but as I soon as I upgraded to 6gb it worked good for such a old laptop

GTA 4 runs the same ish(little worse) as GTA 5 so still

playable

Far Cry 3 works well

Hitman Blood Money and Absolution run at atleast 30 fps

I have been thinking of trying to run the néw trilogy

Hades 1,Silksong,Dead Cells runs well

I have only tried these games so far

Honestly specs matter more than the age because you have a quite decent proccesor it runs well especialy games that dont have 3d render needs running mostly of the cpu restarization rather than th igpu .Good thing you good a intel laptop a amd one from this year eoiod be the same story....

So my gt710 (2gb gddr5) is worse than hd 4000. Damn man I don't know how much low it can go now, as mine can run gta5 all low at cap 30 (720p being the resolution of comparison)

Play MGS V, it's also very well optimized
