If you want to enable more textures and greater detail, going to FHD becomes the best option. A game that was successful when it appeared, in February , and still attracts many players to this day, the party game from Mediatonic, Fall Guys , turned out to be a pleasant surprise when run on Intel Iris Xe — via Steam. Our experiments managed to stay close to 30 fps at 4K resolution.
The popular first-person shooter game lets you use resolutions that complete the entire aspect of the XPS At first, the experience was far below adequate for an FPS. Here we only had a maximum of 14 fps, which makes it difficult for you to move and shoot properly. It was not possible to obtain a large gain in frames per second here, which ends up failing to compensate for this alternative.
After switching to x pixels, with medium to high visual quality, there was a drop to high near 40 fps. Rocket League it turned out to be a completely playable title with Iris Xe. Shall we complicate it a little bit? Here, unlike the titles so far, the experience was not very pleasant. In Full HD p, we have something like 17 fps. This is not a recommended game around here. And in struggle? We downloaded the Street Fighter V on Steam to experiment in this genre.
As it was already possible to feel a sluggish opening of the game when running in 4K, this column decided to experiment starting from p. At this resolution, the game was left with 26 fps without having to manually download items related to shadow and texture. If you prefer to lower these items a little, you should reach more than 30 fps. The next step was to download to p. With Full HD resolution, even keeping the high image quality, we reached more than 50 fps, a comfortable rate to play this game.
We come to another first person shooter, but this time with more cartoon-style graphics. It was possible to notice this well during our tests. Even without taking the 4K p resolution, it was already possible to have variations between 20 and 40 fps, which proved to be a good amount of frames for the category, without having to change other additional settings. If you prefer greater fluidity, which is important in this type of game, just download it to Full HD and you will have a very satisfactory quality.
Overwatch , then, is a decent FPS-genre option to enjoy on a notebook equipped with the latest Intel graphics. The result was extremely positive, with a rate that almost always remains close to 60 fps.
It has 8GB of memory, a bit light, but check. What can make or break a gaming rig is the GPU. Here the only option is the Intel Iris Xe. Intel actually has made some pretty bold claims around the GPU, while keeping it realistic. Less demanding games have a huge audience, Roblox and Minecraft come to mind.
While this will be ok for several games it can be a slight miss for the more graphic-intensive ones. Overall, the HP Pavilion x has a nice little build.
The build is aluminum with it being a bit thicker than a standard productivity notebook but not overly so. There is HP branding on top. Opening it up one immediately is drawn to the screen. It has vibrant colors and is bright, it is also a touchscreen.
The keyboard stretches the length of the system with the trackpad dead center. It is easy to use and comfortable to type with. From a strict usability sense, the HP Pavilion x runs Windows 10, so that will be comfortable to most.
We downloaded a couple of games to get an idea of how different types will play on the system with the Intel Iris Xe, though I lobbied to buy all the games currently played, the higher-ups at StorageReview disagreed. Rocket League fired right up. Everything seemed to work well, though the screen froze on me once or twice while playing. The graphics came through as well as the gameplay.
While I praised the keyboard above, I did so in the manner of a typist. While I liked the keyboard for typing, I was missing some of the controls in rocket league.
This is a combination of not being as familiar with the game and the keyboard being flat to the notebook. Of course, you can control these games with a gaming controller, like the XBOX controller.
The same could be said about the trackpad. It serves its purpose for the game. The depress part of clicking is near the bottom and I kept missing it. While users can learn this skill, it takes a bit to get used to, and a normal mouse or gaming controller would function better.
The network connection is plenty strong enough to play online with no issue other than me being bad at it and getting cursed at by year-olds.
If this is the caliber of game you are looking to play, you have a winner. We also ran Fortnite and it was less than fantastic. The game was so choppy that we could barely play it. Waiting to load into a game caused a couple of freeze-ups and crashes. I began to scale down everything I could just to get the game to play.
After making it horrendous to look at and hard on the brain, I was able to get a game moving though there were large chunks where it would freeze, and then I would be somewhere else or dead. The gameplay was reminiscent of GoldenEye on the N This was the first time I ever played Fortnite with a keyboard. To say to was awkward is an understatement but not much to blame on the keyboard here.
The keyboard and trackpad are perfectly fine here for Fortnite where they were more difficult to use for Rocket League. Another thing to note here is the heat. The notebook put out some serious heat when running Fortnite. Gaming notebooks tend to be a bit louder, but they are also designed with the idea the system will be putting out a ton of heat and designed to move a lot of air. Being a Windows 10 computer, users with an Xbox account will have the ability to play cross-platform games.
Going into this knowing the limitations, I choose a simple game, Clustertruck. Here, the gameplay was on point and the controls are much better than on the Xbox Console, which is surprising. While the big, flashy graphics games grab the headlines, there are some more simple games that are massively popular.
Roblox is such a game with over million active players. As with all the other games we tried, there is a bit of a wait to get Roblox up and running.
