The Acer Swift Go 14 is considered fair for gaming and 3D because it sports an integrated GPU, which is less powerful compared to dedicated gaming graphics cards, and it has a screen refresh rate of 60Hz which, while sufficient for basic tasks, may not provide the smoothest experience in fast-paced games or high-end 3D applications that benefit from higher refresh rates.
