The anandtech's review of the upcoming Z3770 Tablet featuring the following hardware:

Intel's Bay Trail Form Factor Reference Design.10-inch, 2560 x 1440 display, 2GB of LPDDR3-1067 memory and a 64GB eMMC solution. Windows 8.1 (32-bit)

It reached 14 FPS at Grid 2 - 720p

14 FPS is really low, but is it concidered "not playable" for a casual Tablet?

it is low and might be annoying but i think it could be playable depending on your taste. back with n64 games the pal versions (europe games) ran at really low frame rates specifically the legend of zelda orcarina of time ran somewhere around 14fps. you could try just playing a pc game and capping the fps at 14 to see what its like.

I usually find that the "Playable" framerate is about 20fps. 30fps usually means that you won't even be thinking about getting a new graphics card or CPU, depending on which you would need.

I have to agree with you guys, I think anything bellow 30 is annoying, but I'd accept 20-30 although bellow 20 is really painfull.

Either the final version of this tablet gets better results or I am going to stick with ultrabooks.

Grid 2 is just a base game and it seems to be really light, even though, the results were really low.
