Haven't tried NBA 2k16 but I did try WWE 2k16 and it ran ok. I assume it should run ok on low. Their games aren't the most optimized.
What resolution did you use?

Im a little surprised no one has mentioned World of Warcraft. The default settings it picked for the SB get ~30fps, but I went in and turned down a bunch of the particle effects and other smaller details and now get ~45+ fps.
I made similar changes (including lowering the resolution a little) for Diablo III and squeaked much better performance out compared to the default settings that were chosen. Not surprising that this is also true for WoW (does anyone play WoW anymore except like the whole one of my battle.net buddies who's been at it a lot lately? LOL!)
Reading this thread again makes me want to fire up D3 on my couch this weekend for the start of season 7 instead of playing on my desktop. Haha.
Hello folks. As an update I should let you guys know that I'm currently experiencing some discoloration around my screen so I may be returning my sb soon for a new one. With that said I am definitely able to run some games great! I've added the intel drivers manually which has given me a little more control and graphic push. I've done the same for the NVidia graphics, getting the NVidia experience thing as well.
Are you getting the yellow spots I've seen others mention?
Seems to happen when the SB gets really hot.
My general strategy is to set resolution around 720p to 1450x900, or sometimes 1080p for less intensive games, start with low settings, bump up the texture quality to medium, and go from there. I tend to focus on full game experiences where the combat is less twitch and either a bit slower or more strategic than an FPS shooter. I've got the following running in playable states (for the most part):
- The Witcher 3
- Elder Scrolls Online
- Dragon Age Inquisition
- Torment: Tides of Numenera
- Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor
- Ori and the Blind Forest
- Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (this one is new... it's running around 15 FPS currently... still tweaking)
- And technically... Star Citizen (only Arena Commander... the PU isn't really playable due to framerate issues)
