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.
