Surface RT: Performance Issues?
- Anyone experiencing any performance issues with their Surface? I am having a couple but cant figure out if they are the games or the system. Most everything runs fast and fluid except for 2 games so far:
Jetpack Joyride
Hydro Thunder
Both of these games run at low frame rates on my Surface. Especially Hydro Thunder. If I configure the options in Hydro Thunder to low textures the game runs fine but I think the Tegra 3 should run this game T default settings without any issue. My 5 year old Dell m1530 laptop runs both games flawlessly with Windows 8 Pro installed.
Anyone seeing anything like this? I even tried having no programs running in the background. Nothing seems to help.
Thanks!10-27-2012 11:01 AMLike 0 - I think it's the games themselves are not optimized to run well on it. Even cut the rope has problems and it can be ran on a toaster. I expect to see a lot of game patches.

- Totally agree. I think the same can be said about the system itself as well. I can see quite a few adjustments coming to RT in the coming months.10-27-2012 11:19 AMLike 0
- The Surface did get slow when I had a bunch of apps open in the background. After I figured out how to close them, by dragging from the top of the screen to the bottom, things got better. Pinball FX2 would run really sluggish in portrait mode, after I closed some apps it got a lot better, but sometimes it still doesn't feel as responsive as it should be.
I'm sure there are going to be some performance tweaks for RT. I thought about disabling some live tiles... but it's a bit of a let down for a new device full of Xbox branding.10-29-2012 12:20 PMLike 0 -
