    Some videos I recorded from my mobile to show the little beast can still cut it with modern games

    Haven't tried tessalation yet but keeping water at the lowest setting stops random stutters. Ambient Occlusion doesn't seem to affect framerate, nor grass, so kept both on. I'll fiddle with the settings and find an optimum but as is, it plays very well.

    Wow really want to get this but was worried about the quad core requirement. Failed to get Far Cry 4 to work on mine because of that issue. Did you have to tweak anything to install it or was it a straightforward install and run?

    Just install and run, don't seem to be getting any throttling either. Been playing around with settings and can keep it at native res on dx10, high textures, fxaa on... This vid shows those settings



    Played for hours at a time still haven't had a crash. Amazingly stable game considering GTA 4 runs like **** still.

    The only time I noticed slow down was when there's a lot of players doing a lot of shooting and blowing stuff up near each other, but even then it still runs good enough.

    Last one, on the same settings as part 3 but in single player through a built up area. (Playing through the phone screen ain't the easiest)

    I played bf4 on the little 11. It did pretty decent at native resolution with settings on medium to low depending. Got a little laggy with big explosions . Can't complain, I didn't buy it as my main gaming rig. It's my travel workhorse when I don't wanna take the 14 or 18 and I know I'll be working more than time will permit for games.
