GamersNexus tested Red Dead Redemption 2 on the MSI Claw A1M Core Ultra 7 155H in its stock Super Battery profile on battery (DC PL1 20W / PL2 20W). The benchmark used 1280 × 720, Vulkan and the Favor Performance in-game preset, while framerate caps and variable-refresh features were disabled and tearing was allowed. The named global preset is directly selectable; GamersNexus did not separately expand every individual sub-setting. Its earlier write-up of the same 720p Favor Performance benchmark explicitly states that the test runs without help from upscaling.
The published chart reports 55.0 FPS average, a 35.3 FPS 1% low and a 28.2 FPS 0.1% low. VRAM allocation, exact driver and OS builds, test route, capture tool, capture duration and run count were not published and remain unspecified.

Historical GamersNexus Steam Deck OLED test batch. The video was originally published February 23, 2024 and the written review followed April 4, 2024; the exact hardware test date was not published. Tested on the Steam Deck OLED 1TB on battery at 1280 × 720 using Vulkan and the upper-end Favor Performance preset, with no upscaling. All framerate caps were disabled and tearing was allowed. The matching chart reports 53.0 FPS average, 36.9 FPS 1% low and 33.1 FPS 0.1% low. The Steam Deck used its stock power management; the source lists a 4–15W APU range but does not report a fixed per-test wattage. Exact per-option settings, VRAM allocation, SteamOS build, capture tool, capture duration and run count remain unavailable. This is an older, separate test batch and not a September 2026 retest.
Source checked Sep 13, 2026. Checking a source is not a new performance test.
