Cyberpunk pushes the Z1 to its absolute limit. 720p with FSR 2.1 Balanced + Low settings yields ~28-35FPS at 25W Turbo. The built-in benchmark is misleading (reports ~32-35) - real gameplay in Dogtown drops to ~25. Lock to 30FPS via RTSS for consistency.

Notes
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the heaviest games tested on the Z1. Use FSR 2.1 Balanced, not XeSS, because the Z1's 4 CUs benefit more from FSR's lighter shader overhead. Allocate 4GB VRAM in Armoury Crate. Disable Screen Space Reflections and Volumetric Clouds entirely. The benchmark shows ~32FPS but actual open-world driving + combat drops to 25-28. Cap at 30 via RTSS. Turbo mode (25W) is effectively required - Performance mode (15W) drops below 25FPS.
