Hey everyone,

So I bought the base model Surface Pro X 8gb 128gb ssd and set out to test the gaming performance since the prognosis was dire at best...

After about a month of torture trying and failing at around 50 installed games, I put out 30 gameplay videos here:

I put the resolution, settings and average fps in the description of each video if you don't want to watch them all.. but if you just skip around and look at the numbers you won't see the massive frame hitching during league of legends!

I also put out a video about the game stores and show the compatibility woes here: https://youtu.be/GQZ6k7ebvJI

Since the pro x only emulates x86 32 bit, the cpu needs more ram and most heavy ram titles run very poorly.
There's also lots of problems with the emulation and app incompatibilities are everywhere.. indie games that run on everything can lock up the system and force a restart.
On the plus side, streaming with steam and xbox works and so does stadia.. and project xcloud is coming next year.. but if you don't have good internet or good lte coverage, this will be a problem for you
So all in all, I was happy to see dota 2, rocket league and skyrim run fine with a bunch of random indie games run well too.. but some older titles which run great on the surface pro line will run awful.
It's definitely a beta test season for the pro x and i'm not sure microsoft or other developers will take the time unless windows on arm does amazingly well.
Here's hoping because the hardware is awesome and i want the pro 8 with a pro x body 📷
Thanks,

there's a surface pro x gaming review here that's well done from the 16gb 512gb model showing better performance on some titles but still a lot of incompatibility: https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceGaming/comments/e653b6/review_gaming_on_a_surface_pro_x/
