GamersNexus tested Cyberpunk 2077 v2.12 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, DirectX 12 and the Low in-game preset, with Intel XeSS 1.2 Quality at a 66% horizontal and vertical source scale, 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.
The published chart reports 28.9 FPS average, a 5.7 FPS 1% low and a 3.8 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.
