For our next set of tests, we moved on to some in-game benchmarking with Left 4 Dead 2 and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. When testing low-power platforms with L4D2 or ET:QW, we dialed the image quality settings down to medium quality settings and tested at various resolutions. Since these are more entry-level game tests running on relatively low-power platforms or platforms equipped with mobile parts, we left anti-aliasing turned off and image quality settings set from moderate to high levels where possible.

This little rig wasn’t designed with gaming in mind, but the integrated Intel HD 4400 graphics put up a reasonably strong performance. It beat out all the other rigs with integrated graphics and posted more than playable framerates at each of the (relatively low) resolutions we tested.
