Notebook gaming capacity

[Daniel_tresk]

I am thinking of buying a dell xps 13, and I would like to know what kind of games it can handle. Here are the specs:

Processor 2.3 GHz Core i5 6200U

RAM 8 GB DDR3L SDRAM

Hard Drive 128 GB SSD 128 GB

Graphics Intel HD graphics 520
(I think this one is
the worst part of it)

Thanks

Mmmmm it's a wide answer, what kind of games do you like?

Integrated graphics so you can run some lower level games but you will never play high end titles like BF4, COD, Witcher, etc.

I can tell you for a fact at you can run Skyrim at 1600x900 resolution with a mix of low and medium graphic settings with no AA and no shadows to get 40+ FPS most of the time. Based on my experience with the older Intel HD 4400 graphics core (2 generations older).

It can also run Fallout 3 and Oblivion with the d3d9.dll file from SkyrimNexus. It can also play the Mass Effect Trilogy as well. I also test the Intel HD 4400 with Star Trek Online and it generally runs okay with low and medium settings at 1600x900 resolution.
