The V131 is sometimes substantially slower, but it does lead by a fair amount in Batman and Civilization V. Compared to a dual-core i5-2410M (Dell Vostro V131), ULV IVB isn't quite as successful, possibly because of thermal constraints. We don’t have scores for the Dell XPS 13 in BF3 or TWS2, but in the other five titles the IVB upgrade is anywhere from 10% (DiRT 3) to over 40% (Civ5) faster, with most titles in the 20-35% range. However, it’s a significant step up from ULV SNB if you look at the charts. Intel provided us with a 2725 beta driver for the prototype, and Portal 2 specifically has some performance issues fixed (and the memory leak issue we noticed in StarCraft II is also addressed).īack on topic, ULV IVB basically isn’t going to cut it for medium detail gaming (our “Value” preset) in most titles. If you’re wondering about the score discrepancies between the IVB ULV prototype and the UX21A, Anand tested the UX21A with the currently official 2696 Intel drivers. If your goal is 1366x768 gaming at medium detail settings, where the quad-core i7-3720QM manages to hit that mark in four of our seven games (five of eight if we count Diablo III-see below), it’s only in Portal 2 that ULV IVB is clearly above 30 FPS it also basically reaches 30FPS (with periodic dips into the low 20s) in Batman, and the UX21A just barely breaks the 30FPS mark in Skyrim as well. The TimelineU is an Acer Ultrabook with Sandy Bridge ULV and an NVIDIA Kepler GT 640M DDR3 GPU, and it runs away from the IGP/APU-only competition in most games (Civilization V being the one exception where Trinity can close the gap). Obviously, gaming isn’t a strong suit of Ultrabooks that lack discrete graphics. As always, if you want to know how we test games (or other applications) on laptops, please see our 2012 Mobile Benchmark Matrix. (If you don’t care at all about gaming, just skip this page and move on.) I’ve only included the Value charts below, but I’ll summarize some additional gaming test results after the graphics. Let’s see how well ULV Ivy Bridge and HD 4000 can do in our gaming suite. If you need more details about the performance of one of these games just tell me.Okay, enough of the theoretical 3DMarks results. The Outer Wilds (less than 10 FPS, unfortunately unplayable)īattle For Middle Earth 2 (looks like it is incompatible with these Intel generation) Rome Total War 1 (~20 FPS, looks like it is not very friendly with Intel cards) Resident Evil 6 (this was during a crowded mission and when the laptop had just one stick of RAM, so take it with a grain of salt) Runs much better of course on strategic viewĪshes of the Singularity: Escalation (5 ~ 8 FPS) Valkyria Chronicles (for some reason Vsync should be disabled)Ĭivilization 6: Everything at minimum and in small maps runs at 15~30 FPS. Zone of the Enders The Second Runner M∀RS: it runs a little slow, but it is playable (15 - 30 FPS) (!) Phantasy Star Online 2: with Simple Shader runs at 60 FPS and with Medium Shader runs between 20-45 FPS Primal Carnage: Extinction (*) (tested again, runs fine with 8GB on DC) Project Nimbus: Complete Edition (!) (reducing mouse sensivity)Īlan Wake (!) (with -noblur and reducing mouse sensivity) Resident Evil Revelations 2 (I don't remember how well it ran, so let's put an *) Sherlock Holmes Crimes and Punishments (!) Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary (using new graphics 18~35 FPS, using old graphics 60 FPS) (!) XCOM 2 WOTC + +70 mods (it goes from 10 to 25 FPS and the loading times are not the best, but it is turn based) (!) ![]() Natural Selection 2 (!): it was playable, but not nice enough to play multiplayer for meīlack Mesa (But it has some huge FPS drops on Xen) (!): Xen is playable on 800圆00, so be careful 22 FPS being the norm and many low spikes (!) ![]() Genshi Impact: everything at minimum runs between 20 and 30 FPS. Most the games were played/tested in the last 5 months: (!) those that run almost all the time between 15-30 FPS. (*) Games that run normally at >30 FPS but sometimes have drops to ~20 FPS (during high intense action moments, that kind of thing) Without marks, the games run almost all the time at 60 FPS The performance of the games varies, this is how I put how they run: I will skip games that are pretty much know that run on allmost every low end machine (ie games from the Source Engine, Mount and Blade, etc) and popular 2D games (ie Starbound, Hollow Knight). RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) 1066 MHz on Dual Channel (generic brand) Hi, I wanted to share a list of allmost all the games that I play on my laptop.ĬPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210M CPU 2.60GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.6GHz
