battery life

A 2D metroidvania that runs effortlessly at the 120Hz panel cap on the base Z1, even with a mix of low and normal settings at native 1080p. Tiny power draw means long battery life. Precise platforming feels excellent at a locked 120FPS.

Notes

Silksong is a 2D game and runs at or near the 120Hz cap on the base Z1 at native 1080p with a mix of Low/Normal settings - no upscaling needed. Run it at Silent/Power Saver TDP (~8-10W) for 4+ hours of battery. Lock to 120 for the smoothest platforming, or 60 to maximize runtime. Trivial for the 4-CU GPU.
