Don't know. We only use it for email and Office apps. Sorry. Can't help you with games questions.

John, yesterday MS released 8.1 and I got the upgrade. Make sure your version of minecraft or any other game app can support 8.1. I do know this quad-core GW has never stalled opending up numerous apps, more business intensive apps, such as Quick Books, MS Access, and several open web apps. I personally have not had any stalling or jitter. I was even running a Netflix movie while working on several other business apps. I doubt that you will have any issues. I know that many run minecraft on slower dual core processors with no problems. Again, verify that your game apps truly are Windows 8.1 supported. The PC is windows 8, but the upgrade to windows 8.1 was released yesterday AM. John, yesterday MS released 8.1 and I got the upgrade.

I am sorry John but I don't play games on this computer. It does seem faster than any other I have had that games were played on.

I used to run minecraft on it, but I had to set the distance to short and the textures to flat instead of fancy. So yeah, but it's not going to be the best experience.

For app gaming yes, for hardcore gaming like battlefield I wouldnt recommend because of the limitations of the CPU.

My average FPS on Counter-Strike Global Offensive is about 200 fps.Battlefield 3 on High settings (Not Ultra) 60 fpsIts not too loud, but you can hear it, doesn't annoy me thoughI have had no heating problems with this graphics cards, its a litle old but still has the latest technologies, (CUDA etc...)very cheap, very good :)

Ignore the previous two comments. Minecraft is not a high requirement game. It runs fine on a 2007 imac, this will handle it just fine.Recommended Requirements:CPU: Intel Core i3 or AMD Athlon II (K10) 2.8 GHzRAM: 4GBGPU: GeForce 2xx Series or AMD Radeon HD 5xxx Series (Excluding Integrated Chipsets) with OpenGL 3.3HDD: 1GBLatest release of Java 7 from java.com

It can run Battlefield 3 on low/med settings. It's quite a good card for the price and what I bought for my first ever build (still got a soft spot for this card). It runs almost at the same spec as some real massive cards and doesn't suck any power or space. Good card!

You can definitely run BF3 on ultra, I have the same card and I get 60 fps, never a drop, smooth as butter...buy it.

About 40 fps.on the lowest settings. Pick up the xfx ghost videocard. Its like 100$ and will run those games on 40 fps at medium to high settings.

I can play Battlefield 4 on the highest settings at 1080p! Don't know about Arma 3.

It runs fine on league of legends on high, just need to make sure that the fan isnt covered. I get around 50 to 150 fps depending how much action is going on. I'm not sure about minecraft.

I honestly could not give you an accurate answer because there are too many factors that affect minecraft FPS such as Ram, single vs multi player, and use of a texture pack.I'm sorry I couldn't be helpful.

Absolutely. It is way past the "recommended" system requirements on Mojang site: https://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/articles/325948-minecraft-system-requirementsIf you look at the wiki page linked there, you'll see the GT 740M running it 1366×768 at 140fps, this laptop is slower by not more than 25% slower, so you should be in 60-80fps range easily, making it nice and smooth.

Absolutely! (Make sure it's plugged in though or it will die in 30 minutes) Generally I pull about 65-70 FPS when playing, but at rough points the lowest I've dipped is 25-30 it's no desktop but it'll get the job done. I also have no doubts that it will keep up with Battlefield 4 when it comes out.

I honestly do not know. I've not attempted to play any video games on the system. It's a fairly decent machine, so I would suspect it would play it fine. Minecraft graphics don't seem that demanding, but I'm no expert.

I was playing the battlefield hard line beta on ultra settings and was getting an average 60 FPS , hope I helped! I really am glad with my purchase of this computer!

Faster than what?You should be able to play without a problem. It depends on your graphics card though. I overclocked mine without any issues too. It is an old processor now. Hard to find motherboards for it.
