Light games to play while folding?

Weird question... Can anyone recommend games that the play while folding in the background? I try to run it as much as possible, but I did build a gaming PC for a reason. I have Music Racer which doesn't slow down F@H much but I wonder if anyone else knows games can be played on top of folding without losing too many points/burning down their house. (I do only have 1 GPU, will need a PSU upgrade before even thinking about just chucking another one in for 24/7 folding)

Honestly if you don't play that much anyway you will barely notice it. Just keep F@H running, then any game will probably run fine and folding will speed up again once you're done gaming.

F@H runs on a very low priority and is really damn good at dynamically scaling its usage to avoid interrupting other processes. It does this so well that I've been able to play pretty much any game I want with minimal problems.

 

Krunker, Clone Hero, Among Us, and many others have ran fine for me while folding at full power. I've played CS:GO, Overwatch, Rocket League, Skyrim, and many others while folding and it does slow things down a bit especially if you have a 144hz monitor or need ultra low latency for ranked competitive games, but if you don't mind a minor slow down then it works fine.

From my own experience I can say, that while playing graphycally modded Skyrim on my 1070, while simultaniously folding, it did significantly hinder the performace in game

I use a 1070 for light gaming, leaving my 3080 for folding. I cap the FPS at 60 on all games, as that's the maximum for my monitor. Sometimes, I don't mind lowering the game settings, to get a good time.
