Additional Notes

This setup provides a mostly stable 30 FPS, with minor dips in Act 3 and during cutscene transitions. FSR 2.2 (Quality) improves image clarity while maintaining performance. Battery drain ranges from 13W indoors to 20W outdoors, with occasional peaks. Act 3 remains the most demanding area, occasionally dropping to 22-27 FPS but remaining playable due to the turn-based nature of the game.
