Both are DirectX 11
benchmarks, but Sky Diver
is more suited to laptops
and midrange PCs, while
Fire Strike is more
demanding and made for
high-end PCs to strut their

proprietary scores.Next up is another synthetic
graphics test, this time from
Unigine Corp. Like 3DMark,
the Superposition test
renders and pans through a
detailed 3D scene and
measures how the system
copes. In this case, it’s done
in the company’s eponymous

scenario than 3DMark, for a
second opinion on the
machine’s graphical prowess. We present two Superposition results, run at the
720p Low and 1080p High presets. Neither 3DMark nor Superposition is
compatible with macOS.
For lower-end systems, maintaining at least 30fps is the realistic target, while
more powerful computers should ideally attain at least 60fps at the test
resolution. Neither the Spectre x360 13 nor its competitors achieved these
targets (normal for integrated-graphics-based models like these), which
suggests that you’ll need to limit your gaming to Minecraft, Candy Crush,
and the like.
