How well will the Surface Book run it?

I'm getting the i5 one with the dGPU. Assuming the gpu is a bit more powerful than a 940m, not as powerful as a 950m, will I be able to smoothly play large maps? Do you think ill be able to play at 1080p or less?

RAM is the key to big maps. With the 16gb model, you should be ok; the 8GB one will probably run into trouble on the biggest maps in late gameplay. The GPU doesn't make a whole lot of difference in my experience; I'm using an old 680GTX and have no issues, so the dual gfx on the Surface Book are unlikely to see much impact. Processor-wise, it's hard to get the exact specs for the Book - without knowing cores and frequency it's impossible to guarantee that it'll be fine, but given the general specs on the 6th-gen i5's I'm be willing to bet money it'll be no problem.
