ONEXPLAYER X1 Pro Review – The Ultimate 3-in-1 Powerhouse for Work, Play, and Everything in Between! (DROIX Blog)

Summary

DROIX blog review of the onexplayer-x1-pro. Published 2025-03-28 on droix.net.

For Forza Horizon 5 we are running on the default lowest graphics settings. At 1080P we get 102 frames per second, it’s the lowest score compared with 117 on the GPD WIN MAX 2 2025. And at 720P across the TDP ranges we get lower results until around 10W TDP where it balances out.
On Shadow of the Tomb Raider we are running on the lowest graphics settings. Again at 1080P we see the lowest scores of 78 frames per second compared to 87 on the WIN MAX 2 2025. At 720P, we see some more competitive scores, and at 10W TDP we see it overtake all the devices.
Next in our ONEXPLAYER X1 Pro review we run some real world performance tests. We are playing games at their best settings to keep it above 60 frames per second. In many cases you can change settings for 120 if you wish to.
The ONEXPLAYER X1 Pro portable gaming PC has an OCuLink port which you can use with eGPUs such as the ONEXGPU series. We tested with the new ONEXPLAYER ONEXGPU 2, keep an eye out for our full review soon, and got some great results. As a brief comparison, we were getting around 100 FPS on the integrated GPU with Forza Horizon 5, and with the ONEXGPU 2 we got around 180 on the internal display, and 200 FPS on external displays with the same settings.

PCSX2 on the ONEXPLAYER X1 Pro
For PCSX2 our go to game OutRun was running great at 3x rendering resolution. For other games you can go higher if you want. Or keep it the original resolution and lower the TDP.
For RPCS3 you will find many compatible games that run great. We tried our go to games and had no issues with performance.
For Vita3K, compatible games run very well. With many low to medium demanding games you can increase the rendering resolution to 2x. Other games may have performance issues due to not full compatibility.

Yuzu on the ONEXPLAYER X1 Pro
And for Yuzu we saw good performance. Your low to mid range demanding games should run fine. Higher demanding games may require a few tweaks, even lowering the rendering resolution to get them playable.
