The 2016 reboot of Doom was released to rave reviews and many people started using it as an example of the graphic level you can achieve when fully utilizing the resources of a proper gaming computer. On the XPS 13 we tested (8th Gen Core i7), a normal refresh rate limited to 60 fps is good for most situations, but you might need to use a half refresh rate mode for older models. GTA V has two main vsync modes, one that locks the screen’s refresh rate (60 in our case), and one that locks to half the refresh rate (30).
Let’s start with some of the lighter games that you can expect to play on the XPS 13 without much trouble. Dropping the game down to 720p or even lower can help, provided that the game supports it.īelow, we show how to get the best performance in several popular games when playing on the Dell XPS 13. Lower the Screen Resolution: The XPS 13's display is either 1080p or 3200 x 1800, but it may not be able to push all those pixels in high-end games.If you deliberately the limit the frames-per-second to 60 fps on lighter games and 30 fps on more-demanding titles, you can avoid overtaxing the laptop. Cap the FPS: If the XPS 13 gets too warm, it may throttle performance, resulting in an unstable game.
