FPS / Gaming Performance
- | FORZA HORIZON 5 | 90 FPS | 84 FPS |
- | SHADOW OF TOMB RAIDER | 68 FPS | 67 FPS |
- | CYBERPUNK 2077 | 48.78 FPS | 50.41 FPS |
- | CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2 | 67 FPS | 64 FPS |
- For our game performance tests on our AYANEO Geek review we are trying some of our usual games plus a few that were suggested by our viewers. For these we are playing at two levels, one for best quality while aiming at 60 FPS or above, and secondly, the settings for best battery life.
- I have not played Starcraft 2 at all before and it was suggested by Matt Cosmo.87 to try this game. It plays better with a mouse and keyboard so we are using the AYANEO Multi Station Dock to play it. At 1200P on the extreme graphics quality at 28W I was getting well over 100 FPS.
- You can go as low as 800P low graphics at 11W TDP and still get 300 FPS, so you can drop the TDP even lower if you wanted to and limit the frame rate to 60. Either way you would have no problem running this game.
- The Xbox 360 emulator Xenia is very much work in progress but we do see some of the games which originally run at 30FPS running at full speed for the most part. Performance and compatibility may improve over time so this is more of a test to see how it is progressing.
Emulation Notes
- Emulation performance on the AYANEO Geek much the same as the AYANEO 2, read our AYANEO 2 review for more in-depth testing. You can run everything up to the Dolphin emulator era with no issues at all. We will take a brief look at some of the higher end emulators.
- Overall we get very good performance from the PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3. Many of the games we tried were running at full speed. There may be some shader caching slowdown now and again, but other than that we had no issues playing games.
- AYANEO Geek Ryujinx emulator
- For the Ryujinx and Yuzu emulators we saw decent performance on compatible games. You can squeeze some extra frames by changing from docked to handheld modes. Older and less demanding games work great, you may see slowdowns on the more demanding games though.
- The Xbox 360 emulator Xenia is very much work in progress but we do see some of the games which originally run at 30FPS running at full speed for the most part. Performance and compatibility may improve over time so this is more of a test to see how it is progressing.
