I had an older model Toshiba Satellite laptop and ran WoW, League of Legends, Starcraft 2, Team Fortress 2 all on okay FPS on lower settings. Minecraft also ran fine.

Not sure how accurate that site is, but I know a few people that have used it, worth a shot. Those games are solid recommendations as well (league of legends and Team Fortress 2 are free, by the way, so definitely try them out).


Anyway OP, as you said, that's definitely not a gaming setup, and you're not gonna get much out of integrated intel graphics.

Found a couple benchmarks to give you an idea of the level of gaming performance you can expect to get out of it.

AnandTech Benchmarks


Seems they got 70 FPS out of Left 4 Dead (very high settings, even, but with a pretty low 1024x768 res)

24 FPS from Far Cry 2, 1336x768 res, medium settings.

25 frames from Bad Company 2, 1366x768 res, medium settings.

Of the 20 titles AnandTech tested (1336x768 res, medium quality), the average FPS was 21. So playing on low at that resolution would likely get you around 30 FPS.
