i5 Surface Pro 4 Gaming?

[Stinger1988]

I recently bought the i5 Surface pro 4 and was wondering what are some good games that would run on it in my spare time. I have a gaming desktop PC to take care of Fallout and other hardcore games but what are some games you guys think will run fine or have run on your surface pro 4s. I was thinking of picking some stuff up on the current sale. Cities Skylines?

Counter Strike GO: 30fps low-medium settings at Native Res (2736x1864)
Dota 2: runs fluently at Native Resolution
Grand Theft Auto V: 20-30fps at 960p
League of Legends: 70fps medium/high settings at 2736x1824
StarCraft 2: 25-30fps high settings at 1680x1050
Left 4 Dead 2: 40fps at 1680x1050
Guild Wars 2: 40fps low settings at 1920x1080
Battlefield 4: 40fps low settings at 1440x900, seems to have texture problems.
The Witcher 3: 10fps low settings at 1336x768
Smite: 40fps medium settings at 1920x1080
Dying Light: 25fps low settings at 1280x720

So if you don't mind dropping the resolution and details it'll play all but the latest AAA titles (Dying Light, GTA5 & Witcher 3)

Thanks! That helps.

The lack of a dedicated GPU and thermal throttling will limit your options. Try some small indie games like LIMBO.

I don't know, 20-40 fps isn't exactly playable to me, though I guess it depends on the genre, too. I'm not in the "I can tell the difference between 60 and 144hz monitors" camp, because I can't (I have a 144hz monitor that also supports 60, 85, and 120hz modes), but sub-40 fps is noticeable even to me. Not to mention the quality loss when you play something in a non-native resolution.

But anyway, it should definite run pretty much all 2D stuff perfectly fine. as well as less demanding 3D games. Games like Hearthstone will run fine.

I was able to run the GoT Telltale game fine on low settings. I think im going to pick up PA since its on sale.

Half-Life Complete pack will run on it lightning fast.
