3DMark Fire Strike

To test the NVIDIA GeForce MX150 graphics, we ran 3DMark Fire Strike. Note that the score shown below is the Overall result.

With the discrete GeForce MX150 graphics, this should be the UX331UN's party trick, despite the cut-down clock speeds of the GPU – and it is. The FireStrike score is a cool 80 per cent quicker than the HP Envy x360 15, which has the previous-generation GeForce 940MX graphics. This score is also at least 2.7 times as fast as integrated Intel graphics.

So this really will be an ultraportable that you can play games on. Maybe not Battlefield 5, but if you fancy a bit of Minecraft or CS:GO, the UX331UN will be up to the task. We tried the latter and with High quality settings at Full HD resolution and it was perfectly smooth.
