As I said, it will be more than sufficient for Fallen Enchantress - barring any weird compatibility issues.
Obviously, you have to care more about reality than irrelevant benchmarks and imprecise sys. requirements.
If we were to care about those - here's an article detailing how the SP2 can run games like Portal 2, LoL, Diablo 3 and SC2 at medium-high settings with good frame rates.
It can even run something like Bioshock Infinite - though you'll have to use low settings:

For kicks, here's the D3 requirements:

As you can see, it has higher demands than FE. Needs higher clocked dual core cards (dual core 2.2 vs 2.8), and better graphics cards (Gefore 6800 vs 7800).
But I don't care about articles - as I rely on my experience for this sort of thing. I've played both Elemental and Fallen Enchantress on inferior hardware - and they're both just fine. Not exactly high performance - but more than adequate. My Mx11 Alienware Laptop, for instance, played FE just recently with reasonable frame rates - and it's VERY close to SP2 in terms of performance if we look at benchmarks.
Meaning, I actually know what I'm talking about.
No, SP2 isn't a gaming machine - but it's fine for a lot of games if you accept the inherent limitations of a tablet platform.
TXA will back that up here, as he's a great fan of the Intel HD 4000 series for gaming.
I guess we know what value we should attribute "proof" provided by SirJames
So the penny arcade article sums it up like this:
PennyArcade said:Summing it up
I need to say this again: You’re insane if you’re buying a Surface Pro 2 just to game. There are better solutions out there for the money, and you’re going to need to do some tweaking and graphical management if you hope to play graphically intensive games at all, much less with a high frame rate. This is not a gaming machine, nor was it designed to be.
You sum it up by saying
, AKA It's fine for games if you accept that its totally awful for games. AKA not good for games.DA said:No, SP2 isn't a gaming machine - but it's fine for a lot of games if you accept the inherent limitations of a tablet platform.
So how did I sum it up, again? Whats the "reality?"
