My computer is a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro

8gb ram
Core i54210U 2.40 Ghz
128GB SSD
Intel HD graphics

when playing Metro apps such as pinball FX2, or Dungeon Hunter 4 or Six Guns, the frame rate is playable but not smooth.

Once in a while, the frame rate suddenly improves dramatically for a few seconds, like no lag at all, before going back to the lower frame rate.

I'm assuming the higher frame rate is a sign that my computer is capable of playing these games at a better fps.

what can I do to achieve these higher frame rates with my existing hardware?

I've tried setting priorities in the task manager to no effect.

I've updated to latest drivers from lenovo website, and performance has improved slightly.

what resolution are you running at? lowering it will help, especially since you have Intel graphics.

reducing resolution seems to badly affect aspect ratio.

3200x1800 is 16:9. So any 16:9 resolution will work. 1920x1080 would be a great candidate.

I think it's just the programming wit the pinball game. other games seem to run fine.
