HD4000 mobile got green tick and both i3 got gold tick and also gold tick for RAM. Can someone explain the tick thing in game-debate?

Hello again there... OK the tick thing in GD is not really complex... Here is how it all works:
Grey tick means low-medium settings...
Green means medium-high settings...
Gold means high-max settings...
If your overall for any rig configuration is grey it means the system can only manage low-medium settings depending on resolution and directx version used and at decent but not fluent frame rates... If overall rig score is green then it means it can run on medium or modified high settings again depending on the resolution and directx version used at good frame rates... If gold tick then it means the rig in question can run the game easily on high to max settings at good resolutions and latest directx with fluent fps...

This game is very well optimized... I would try med-high at that resolution if playing by yourself against bots offline but reduce it to medium for online as it may lag like crazy...

This game ran on high settings on a classmate's Sony Vaio E14123CN on HD4000 at 1280x720 with AFx16 30-39 fps average and 40-58 on medium settings and the HD4000 is only about 10% weaker than the GT430... This game is extremely well optimized...

High settings no problem... Probably 50 fps average... Not sure if you can max it though... Just try... If the fps at ultra is not acceptable, then just stick to high...

You have an Ivy Bridge i5 and a GT730M which is a fast middle class GPU... Those should run Crysis 2 on high and CRysis 3 on medium at close to 30 fps dude... But I recommend you upgrade your RAM to 6GB or 8GB...

Upgrading RAM is difficult with only ultrabooks and all-in-ones... With a normal notebook, just pop out one screw to remove the large maintenance hatch where the RAM slots are housed and pop in a new RAM stick - any bloody idiot could do it... What jackass gave you the idea that laptop RAM upgrade is impossible...? In fact, it is easier than a desktop...
