> It is surprisingly powerful for a handheld

It's in fact one of the least powerful handhelds (of the x86 class.)

> Somehow Cyberpunk 2077 ran really well on it.

With significant dropping of settings across the board, with 30-40fps at best and frequent drops into sub <20fps during the action.

That may count as "really well" depending on your definition I suppose. I wouldnt tolerate it, but i'm sure many would/do.

Definitely impressive for a handheld. The "really well" is calibrated for the hardware.

> Definitely impressive for a handheld

It’s just hard for me to be impressed by one of the weakest entries from both a performance and image quality point of view. It’s all subjective though so if others do find it impressive, all the power to them.

I actually think the SW2 port is the most “impressive” handheld experience I’ve seen so far. Given its a superior experience “out of the box” as it were.
