Right off the bat, running games on the Piston - like with all PCs - is a varying experience. Lighter games, resource-wise, don't encounter any real issues. The heavier it gets, though, the more the seams show. The first seams I saw on Piston were in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. After some healthy graphics tweaking, the game ran full screen at just below 30 fps. While assuredly playable, and likely a touch more impressive looking than its console cousin, Black Ops 2 seemed to test the machine's limits.
