So now we get onto the really exciting stuff, gaming! This is the first system we’ve tested since we revised our testing methodology, so it’s the only system that supported 1440p to date, so forgive us if it looks lonely in those tests. However, we expect the charts will fill up quickly enough.
Straight away, we’re hitting an average of over 60FPS in Deus Ex at 1080p, and 41FPS at 1440p. You could easily tweak some settings to get the 2K performance closer to 60fps.
This CPU and GPU combination made easy work of Rise of the Tomb Raider. The average FPS was sitting gloriously above 60 even at 1440p.
Ghost Recon is not an easy game to run on any system, it’s very demanding in terms of graphics. However, the X3 scored very well at both resolutions and came very close to 60FPS at 1440p.
Finally, Far Cry Primal puts the GTX 1060 through its paces on the X3. Flawless 1080p performance, and a great score at 1440p too. Overall, not bad for such a compact gaming notebook!
