So the Microsoft Surface Pro is using a 22nm i5 Intel Low Power Ultrabook Processor, all models of this processor have the Intel HD 4000 graphics processor integrated, I looked up the benchmarks for the Intel HD 4000 Graphics (http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-HD-Graphics-4000-Benchmarked.73567.0.html), and with the lowest model of the processor we should be able to play Starcraft 2 (and other games) at good FPS on low settings(Or at higher settings on a lower resolution)!
Personally I love this! :victory:
What do you guys think?

my acer w500 and its 1ghz c60 apu w ati radion 6290 graphics card can run starcraft 2 on low settings well
if the surface pro couldnt run starcraft 2 well on the same settings than there is gonna be a problem

What problems? And Im speaking in the sense that it is running on 1920x1080, the w500 goes at a max of 1280×800. If the Surface ran at that res, it could probobly play medium at good FPS, or maybe even some high settings.
SC2/D3 on Surface
www[dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=r2HLgffmTZ0
Video of SC2 working on an i7 with HD4000 graphics, also D3 is in there. One thing to consider is that Blizzard games are traditionally very CPU heavy, and less so intense on the graphics card.
That being said, do all ultrabook i5's have HD4000? Because for the desktop, the 3770K is the ONLY model that has HD4000, the rest are HD2500 which is a significant downgrade.
It would be interesting to see SC2 run on the Surface. Im sure it would be able to run, but the experience wouldn't be as great as on a desktop with a decent graphics card.

I guess it would be cool, but still needs a keyboard/mouse to play, so why not just a laptop?

I've been watching the preview video @ AndroidCentral I think they have covered the phone quite well.
There Neocore test show a score of 75 FPS - that 20 FPS more than the Samsung SGS/Vibrant.
Since the Samsung SGS/Vibrant comes with a PowerVR SGX 540 chipset (Device Magazine) which is the best out there along with 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor - whereas the Droid Pro comes with a PowerVR SGX 530 chipset (Motorola Developer site) how comes this baby is giving out a much better FPS rate?
Would like to hear your experienced views on this!
If you compare it the D2/D2G, DX, and Milestone 2 you will notice that the DP performance is better that those devices despite the same cpu/gpu combo(but less internal memory). So, from what I am reading most of it has to do with the lower HVGA screen vs the VGA screen of all aforementioned devices. Lower screen res means less work for the gpu.

This makes so much sense for improving battery life and plus what's the point on using such high res screens whereas the human eye can perceive only 200dpi.
Just a thought!
Personally I agree. It really makes me mad that I saw all these rave reviews on the Samsung Galaxy S phone's screens, but me personally I can't tell a difference between my Fascinate and my DPro, other than the fact the screen is smaller.
Maybe its time for me to see the eye doctor.

is there any change in phone with
-change in pixels like 540x960 or 480x 800
-any change is appreciated with pixel density increase or decrease
- for a best phone, RAM must be 1gb or 768mb is considered
-any change in 3d motion of a phone is seen with dual core processor than single core
- 1+ ghz cpu is enough for awesome gaming in our sg3

you can't change the resolution dude, .. but you can change the pixel density by : root explorer --> system --> build.prop --> ro.pixel.density=200
btw,. even in a phone with 768mb ram, you only get 230-240 mb free
by using task killer pro max --> set to ultimate --> reboot --> 200mb free ram = same performance witha device having 768mb ram
and overclocking to 1.2ghz when you play games is more than enough !!

1) yes more pixels mean sharper graphics on your phone. if u compare our phone to a high end one with 800x480 resolution or more there is noticable difference. but after 800x480 resolution , u wont see as much improvment as our eyes arnt micro scopes ;D
2) same as one. if res is more, more pixels are squeezed into the same screen
and the density increases. this makes MUCh sharper and better screen .
3) same as pc. for any device more ram = faster device. ram is high speed temporary storage that a device needs for running. more ram = more memory can be kept in high speed so faster performance.
4) 3d motion and gaming is handled by a gpu (graphics proccessing unit) that is seperate from the cpu. better gpu = better 3d gaming. cpu can be dual core but if gpu is weak 3d performance will reduce. sadly our phone has a weak gpu.
weaker than other phones of even its own price range. if u compare ours to galaxy 5 which is cheaper and has slower proccessor it has better gpu so it plays games better.
5)at 1ghz it plays some hd games smoothly. but still very weak and ur phones starts to get hot. at 1.2ghz it plays many hd games or any game smoothly.
but it is nothing compared to most other phones. the most demanding games still play slowly and stress the phones alot. so dont expect awsome gaming even at 1ghz + .
hope i answered ur questions
hit thanks if i helped
Hello people,
My tablet has a Dual Mali 400, Cortex A9, 512 MB DDR3 and a 800 * 480 display resolution.
At first, the game menu appears rightly, like this: (please replace [DOT][US] with .us )
imageshack[DOT][US]/a/img18/5295/screenshot2012122316173.png
But, when the game actually begins running, this is what i get:
imageshack[DOT][US]/a/img18/5295/screenshot2012122316173.png
The problem is persistant with all HD games, while some of them work better, but the visual quality is disappointing. Do you know why the HD games won't display properly? Is it because of the poor resolution? Or the number of bits are the concern?
I'll appreciate any help
Waste

Even u had dual mali 400 it waste of gpu because to show HD quality atleast u need tablet with Dual core procesor , HD resolution (1280x720) and 1 GB ram to run smooth with HD android games
will the shield tv be able to better the graphics card or is it all dependent on the actual card where the games are being streamed from?
thank you

I'd love to upgrade one Monitor to 144Hz refresh, but that's just not affordable and also, I think I'm in good shape with the RAM I have now but I'm open to ideas and suggestions.
One thing about monitors. I have 2 60Hz 3840x2160 4K Monitors. Every 144Hz I look at has a res of 2560x1440. Why would a higher refresh rate only be found on lower resolution monitors and what will the visual difference be?
@HipKat from my assumption, your setup isn't for gaming, right? Or why do you want 144Hz?

It's for everything,. Gamin is a big part of that as is Adobe Graphics programs, streaming, etc.
Looking at prices and the time of year, I'm going to work on the Monitors first

OK, you can see a difference in FPS games where usual 60Hz are not enought and you're facing tearing when you move or turn around very fast, but this might be wanted(some games have options for blurring, tearing, DOF).
So if you don't play FPS and need 144Hz, you can skip this option in my opinion. I played also with low end 8ms LCD's long time ago in times where 144 or even 60Hz monitors are not invented
I'm curious why you are upgrading to an RTX 2060? For that price you can get an RTX 3070 if you are patient.

Price was the number one reason, but I've got some gamer friends who tell me the 20 series is pretty underwhelming. Right now, I'm standing pat until after the year ends to see where things are with GPU prices and chip availability.
A new primary Monitor is at the top of the list
