PC Specs
mid-low, 1280x720. 20-30 fps. i've got a laptop with a intel GMA 4500m (which is a bit weaker than yours) and i'm able to get 12 fps on mid-low. so i'm expecting it will be like 20-30 fps on mid-low
PC Specs
Hey, I know my PC can run this, but how about my laptop?

if you play on 1280x720. Put the settings mid-low. you'll get 30-40 fps.

PC Specs
Can an Intel core 2 duo T5550 1.83ghz CPU and Intel 965 GMA Express family GPU with 3GB of RAM, run this? What does the GD adjusted Requirements mean? The Minimum table says that this can run at minimum but the GD adjusted says it's too low

I'm concerned with other members being mislead that they can get 100FPS with a rig like yours when it wouldn't be possible, as for Macbook .... I couldn't really help because I have no experience with Apple products, sorry buddy

PC Specs
For light gaming like this, and even higher-end games like BF3, past 4gb is just a complete and utter waste. But you can go ultra ;D this game is easy to run. 60fps.
PC Specs

PC Specs
You can very easily max this with your resolution.
PC Specs

PC Specs
Man, the optimization of the game is good so i think you can surely run at 768p, high/ultra settings should be smooth at 768p.
