Sekiro runs well on the base Z1 at 900p - roughly 40-50FPS in Turbo with occasional drops into the 30s, against the game's hard 60FPS cap. It's a tightly designed, mostly linear FromSoft title so the 4-CU GPU is rarely the bottleneck. 900p at 25W is a good target for handheld play.

Notes
Community Z1 testing shows ~40-50FPS in 25W Turbo at 900p with random dips into the 30s (Sekiro has known frame-pacing hitches). At 18W you still get ~40-50 with deeper dips. The game has no built-in upscaler and hard-caps at 60FPS; a FromSoft frame-unlock mod exists but isn't needed for handheld. Keep Shadows and Effects at Medium, Ambient Occlusion off. 900p is the better handheld target - 1080p costs ~8-10FPS for little visual gain on the 7-inch screen.Hardware
