- Test conditions
- 1920x1080, High preset, FSR off, printed in the row itself. Scene: Notebookcheck's published methodology says it uses a game's built-in benchmark where a representative one exists and CapFrameX otherwise, at https://www.notebookcheck.net/How-does-Notebookcheck-test-laptops-and-smartphones-A-behind-the-scenes-look-into-our-review-process.15394.0.html; this review does not restate which applied to Cyberpunk 2077, which does carry a built-in benchmark. Average 25 FPS, minimum 21.1, 1 per cent low 20.3
Editorial review checks the source and documentation; it does not certify the measurement or mean we tested the device ourselves.
