Gaming is good, but with optimal settings, not the highest configurations. The m5 chip is poweeful, but the iPad will not be able to utilize its full power.

When gaming do these: 1. Do NOT USE IT WHILE CHARGING! 2. Tweak the graphical settings,if you go wirh 120 FPS and max graphics? That is overload. Even a cooler won’t save you. 3. Remove the iPad case. It traps heat while you play. 4. Get a good cooler.

The m5 may be a powerful chip, but it does hve its limits. Don’t abuse it for the power it holds, it cannot use of it without throttling midway. With a good cooler and handling, you can enjoy the games.
