Summary
DROIX blog review of the ayaneo-2s. Published 2023-06-23 on droix.net.
FPS / Gaming Performance
- On to Cyberpunk 2077 now, it’s running on the Low graphics settings. We can see decent performance at 800P, but below 60 FPS for the 1200P resolutions.
- We get above 60 FPS at 800P but struggle with reaching that at 1200P, we have seen from the other devices this is to be expected.
- Let’s start with something quite demanding, and also poorly optimised 🙂 The Last of Us at 800P at 28W TDP on Low settings, with FSR on Ultra Performance gets us well above 60 FPS.
- Or for the best visuals you could go with locking it to 30 FPS with no FSR and the graphics on High settings.
- For saving battery, you can lock it to 30 FPS with FSR on Balanced on the Low graphics settings at just 11W TDP which is amazing!
- Hades is a perfect example of a great game that is not massively demanding. You can easily run at 1200P at around 7W TDP and get a solid 60FPS.
- You can run at 800P, no FSR, at 28W TDP on the Low graphics settings for mostly above 60 FPS. Or you can lock to 30 FPS and increase the graphics to Medium.
- For battery saving, keep it at 800P with low graphics settings locked to 30 FPS at around 15W TDP, and for the most part you should be well above 30 FPS with minor dips to 29 or so.
- 800P Balanced with FSR gets you well above 60 FPS, usually around 70-80. You can switch off FSR and for the most part it will stay above 60.
- If you want the best frame rate, drop the graphics to Minimal and you will be in the 90 FPS area
- We saw with the MAX 2 2023 some nice improvements with the 7840U and we of course see them on the AYANEO 2S. Our go to game Vanquish works great and we saw very good performance on Project Gotham Racing 2, with some minor dips below 30 FPS now and again.
Emulation Notes
- AYANEO 2S running RPCS3
- Compatible games on RPCS3 run very well. Our go to games Tekken 6 and WipeoutHD played excellent, you may see an occasional frame drop here and there but you would not notice without a FPS display on screen.
