Zotac ZBOX ID89 Plus Mini PC Review
Performance: Gaming
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.

Let's not sugarcoat the fact that Intel wasn't aiming for high-end gaming with its HD 2500 Graphics core, and that's not what this SFF is designed for, either.
