Graphics Performance

Testing the GPU

The Lenovo ThinkPad 8 lagged a bit behind the Dell Venue Pro in the GFXBench tests, but managed to keep things tight. Given that the tablet is targeted at business users, these are solid graphics scores.

The Lenovo ThinkPad 8 scored well (compared to many of the tablets we've recently tested) but again fell slightly behind the Dell Venue 8 Pro in the 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme score. Neither device is a match for tablets like the iPad Air when it comes to heavy-duty graphics.

Josh cut his teeth (and hands) on his first PC upgrade in 2000 and was instantly hooked on all things tech. He took a degree in English and tech writing with him to Computer Power User Magazine and spent years reviewing high-end workstations and gaming systems, processors, motherboards, memory and video cards. His enthusiasm for PC hardware also made him a natural fit for covering the burgeoning modding community, and he wrote CPU’s “Mad Reader Mod” cover stories from the series’ inception until becoming the publication editor for Smart Computing Magazine. A few years ago, he returned to his first love, reviewing smoking-hot PCs and components, for HotHardware. When he’s not agonizing over benchmark scores, Josh is either running (very slowly) or spending time with family.
