Onlive vs Steam : Real world test : Splinter Cell Conviction played on the Lenovo X220T

Und now by special request thegameveda plays a little Splinter Cell Conviction on the Lenovo X220 T .


First up we play using the traditional way , using Steam , the settings are low , the res is 1024 by 768 , the detail is fine , but as you will see the Unreal engine is creaking and does not take full advantage of the IntelHD3000 and i7 combo , a combination which manages Crysis 2 and newer games quite nicely.... But wait we then move on to testing using onlive on the same hardware we now get to play Splinter Cell Conviction beyond 60 fps and at ultra detail levels , Litecam 3 used to record the gameplay does cause frame drops and detail degradation in the final video . Check the detail on the mirrors and real time refelctions , as well as the speed of gameplay 

In conclusion we see the Unreal engine really needs some optimisations for Intel GPUS , but can run this game fine , but with magic streaming tech like onlive , why bother with a 15gb install patches and low res when you can play the game at ultra settings on the same humble hardware. 


There is no reason why your laptop cannot be a AAA games machine  ,which you can quite happily use to freak out the Alienware packing geek sitting next to you ..just check the differences between the Steam version and the onlive version below. Apologies for poor gameplay skills , I still have to get used to this trackpad and nubbin control scheme and misplaced my 360 controller ...
