A YouTuber recently put the Framework Desktop to the test, transforming it into a compelling gaming console using Bazzite. In their exploration, they first tackled Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. Running the game at a 1440p resolution with high settings and FSR set to Quality, it averaged 66 FPS. Although this is slightly below the 72 FPS achieved on Windows 11, it’s still impressive.
The Framework Desktop maintained a consistent 99–100W TDP, and the processor temperature stayed comfortably below 65 degrees Celsius, showcasing excellent thermal performance.
Next up was Cyberpunk 2077, tested at 1440p with high settings and FSR set to Balanced. The game ran smoothly at around 75 FPS. The YouTuber highlighted the pleasant experience, pointing out the minimal fan noise despite the system boosting to 100W.
They conducted additional gaming tests in their video, which comes highly recommended for those interested in more insights into the system’s performance.
