    Hey I used CanYouRunIt to see if I could run Bioshock Infinite but the results were pretty inconclusive.

    Here are my system specs:

    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz

    OS: Unfortunately my PC came preloaded with Windows 8.

    RAM: 6gb

    Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 7670M w/ 2gb memory

    All sound card drivers and hard drive space are of no issue.

    This computer has been running a lot of recent releases at ultra and high settings.

    When I ran it through CanYouRunIt it told me I only met the minimum requirements.

    Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!:)

    Its hard to tell with games that aren't released as there aren't any benchmarks. Should at least be able to run it on Medium settings at 1080p with those specs, judging by similar games.

    Can't say for sure until it out but as it is running a modified UE3 engine, so if you have been running the likes of Borderlands 2, Mass effect 3, Batman, Dishonorer etc. you'll be fine. I'd be surprised if you can't knock at least medium out of it TBH, with anything higher a bonus obviously.

    Definitely, that card is a little more powerful than the minimum recommended. Drop some settings or the resolution and even better.
    I've gotten the new Tomb Raider to work on Nvidia's 3100m (looks better than a Wii game, slightly worse than the 360 version), so it's a matter of how much detail you're willing to lose, but it'll definitely run.

    Thanks running on medium sounds fine just needed to be definite before I dropped 50 quid on Steam for this.
    Thanks for the feedback.

    I'm sure there will be a demo or a benchmark you can run to try it.

    Did CanYouRunIt recognize your card as the HD 4000 or the 7670m? It can't understand switchable graphics, so it'll not help there.

    What resolution is the laptop, 1366x768 or 1920x1080?

    If 1366x768, yeah, you'll have no trouble, will probably play at medium if not high. I have the 7670m also.

    Yeah it did recognize my graphics card and yep I'm at 1366x768.

    Good to hear it will be smooth at the least on medium.

    Huh it thinks I only have a HD 4000.

    Anyway, at 1366x768 you'll have no trouble. I'm adverse to pre-ordering in general, though....
