Can the Mac OS High Sierra be installed on an Intel Core i3 3rd gen 8GB RAM and Intel HD graphics?
You didn’t tell us what model and year Mac you are using. All you told us is the type of CPU it has, how much RAM is installed, and that it has Intel HD graphics.According to EveryMac, it appears there are five different model iMacs that have the Intel Core i3 CPU in them, spanning from 2010 to 2013. Apparently you have one of these models:iMac "Core i3" 3.06 21.5-Inch (Mid-2010)iMac "Core i3" 3.2 21.5-Inch (Mid-2010)iMac "Core i3" 3.2 27-Inch (Mid-2010)iMac "Core i3" 3.1 21.5-Inch (Late 2011)iMac "Core i3" 3.3 21.5-Inch (Early 2013)And according to the technical specifications for these models on Apple’s web site, only the iMac "Core i3" 3.3 21.5-Inch (Early 2013) has an Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU, while the rest of them use Radeon GPUs.So we can guess that you have an iMac "Core i3" 3.3 21.5-Inch (Early 2013).A simple web search for “macOS high sierra system requirements” would have brought you here:macOS High Sierra - Technical SpecificationsWhere Apple states:General RequirementsOS X 10.8 or later2GB of memory14.3GB of available storage to perform upgrade*Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.Mac Hardware RequirementsFor details about your Mac model, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, choose About This Mac. These Mac models are compatible with macOS High Sierra:MacBook (Late 2009 or newer)MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)Mac mini (Mid 2010 or newer)iMac (Late 2009 or newer)Mac Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)Assuming your iMac is indeed an early 2013 model, since Apple says you need an iMac (Late 2009 or newer), it appears you can indeed install macOS High Sierra on your Mac.
Can I play all desktop games with a 1.5 GB Intel HD graphics, 8GB RAM, and an Intel i3 processor?
You can run games of before 2013, it will be fine for those games. Some games which requires low gfx card can also run like AC BF , but if you will try high end games you will face a lots of lag. So try to upgrade your system
Can I run Battlefield 4 with 4GB RAM and an i3 processor with an Intel 5500 HD graphics card?
You may be able to on the minimum graphics detail settings, if it does run it won’t run well or be very enjoyable to play. By far the weakest component is your graphics card, which was a low-mid range card when it came out several years ago. The computer may stutter as it hits the page file too because 4GB isn’t much RAM. Your Core i3, even if a first generation i3 would be able to run it reasonably well if it had a better graphics card and maybe more RAM too.With a decent graphics card you can often get away with a weak processor. For example for an experiment I put my HD5870 in a Pentium 4 computer and was able to run Crysis on it well enough for it to be playable. Of course the same card in my i7 920 that it lived in at the time managed twice the framerate, but running it at all with a Pentium 4 is good going.
Can I play Counter Strike: Global Offensive on my laptop with: Intel i3-6006U, Intel HD Graphics 520 and 8GB of RAM?
Yes, it should handle CSGO at 720p with at least 30–50 fps using the low-medium graphical preset.Intel HD Graphics 520
Was it even possible to run Crysis 1 at its maximum settings when it came out?
Yes it was. The simple truth is that for games like Crysis, max settings are really about future proofing the product a little. Running the game at max settings might only be possible on 5% or even 1% of the PCs out there at the time. However, when you move 1, 2 or even 5 years out, that percentage grows quite a bit and the game doesn't look as dated as it would other wise.This is true even today, where games like The Witcher 3 are not really playable at maximum settings on a high framerate monitor even with very high end hardware (Ultra settings, 144Hz monitors). I don't even know if you can get that game to run smooth at 144Hz with Ultra settings turned on. And then you add something like VR on top of that and computational load gets ridiculous.These products, while awesome in their own right, also serve as benchmarks to measure hardware against. Most game companies simply don't have the talent or resources to build something that is as demanding for a meaningful reason (lots of bad game developers put out unoptimized garbage, but Crysis and The Witcher actually look good). So, over years, hardware can be designed to high those benchmark targets and the entire field is driven forward.
Can Crysis 3 run smoothly by 8gb ram, i3 6th generation processor, and nvidia zotac 710 DDR3 2gb graphics memory?
Can You Run It site says minimum system requirements are 3 times your graphics power so it depends what you mean by smoothly.If you mean min texture details etc upscaled from min resolution to fit the screen and a frame rate between 25–40 fps, yes, it will run it smoothly.
What games can I run on an Nvidia GeForce 920m?
Depends what you mean by gaming, playing LoL or counterstrike in 720p then yes, playing battlefield or CoD advanced warfare in 1080p30fps minimum then most definitely no. With gaming in mind you never buy a laptop, laptops start throttling after an hour or so of heavy use. To explain better, due to increased heat output from the device components and since a laptop has tiny fans (even a huge fan under it on those expensive stands is not good enough ) the motherboard will decrease the frequency the componets run at to keep them in good condition for longer times or save them from burning out in an instant if you're unlucky. Soo... listen to the rest of the answers below as well since all of them contain good tips to find what you need.
Can I run Sniper Elite 4 with 4GB RAM and an i3 processor with an Intel Graphics 5500 HD?
It's gonna stutter. Yes it will. You should get a better graphics card like a Gtx 780,1050 etc.But don't hope for high fps with that processor, though it will be definetly playable at medium or high settings.
