Would X3FL run ok on Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics?
It's built into Razer Book, and X3 FL steam page says that "256 MB 3D DirectX 9 Compatible video card (not onboard) with Pixel Shader 3.0 support" is optimal. I'm not sure how to translate pixel shader recommendation into what Xe offers.

Re: Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics compatibility?
So when it comes to a graphics card, what really matters is the speed of the gpu and how much video ram it has available. Being on a portable laptop it is always best to double what the stated recommended requirements are for software you wish to run. That being said I can tell you that not all laptops can output the power requirements of the video cards installed in them without being plugged into a wall outlet.
A google search says your device is a gaming machine. But you really need to post the specs of it to get an honest answer. Just the basic specs. What was on the card for the display at the store you bought it from. Or what was shown online if you bought it that way.
And please note that RAM and VRAM are 2 different entities. And need to be included.
RAM is available memory for every day use. For all software installed including the OS.
VRAM is video ram, specialized to be used by the graphics processor. RAM will sometimes be allocated and reserved by the OS to supplement VRAM, but they are not the same.

Yes.
I have a surface pro 7 with Iris Plus G7 and it runs X3FL perfectly.
Iris Xe is even newer and better.

That’s awesome, I was also looking into surface and was worried it might be underpowered

If you mean TDP unlocking, ThrottleStop works great with my Surface.rudi_pioneer wrote: ↑Fri, 22. Jul 22, 07:39That’s awesome, I was also looking into surface and was worried it might be underpowered
But seriously, I would not play games on my Surface unless I have no other choices. I do not know Razer though.
In the end, GPU will become a bottleneck in circumstances like huge complexes, a sector too busy with combats or so.
