If you are looking for the best gaming tablet, stop looking right now, it’s here. The Nvidia Shield is without question the best tablet for gaming, in fact it’s in a league of it’s own. Serious tablet gamers have just been handed the holy grail with a kick ass wireless gaming controller thrown in for good measure.
The Nvidia Shield as a standalone gaming tablet is a triumph with the powerhouse Nvidia Tegra K1 chipset with the same Kepler technology used in Nvidia’s latest high-end desktop graphics cards. The 8″ 1920 x 1080-pixel HD display is as crisp as an iPad retina screen and the front-facing speakers produce game quality sound.
If you bought this solely as a gaming tablet you would be more than pleased. The Nvidia Shield is the only tablet with the beef to run DX 12 games on the unreal engine 4. Check out these benchmark comparison tests against the iPad Air and the Tab Pro 8.4:
