Battery life? in c/framework@hardware.watch
[–] 2b100k@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I get about 6-7 hours on AMD/Fedora

What are your major criticisms of the framework laptop? in c/framework@hardware.watch
[–] 2b100k@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

- Battery life is below average, seems to be around 6-7 hours on my 7840U w/ Fedora on 25% brightness (Still quite bright)
- Speakers are tinny at high volume
- Seems there is no hibernate mode, so I lose about 8-10% battery overnight if not plugged in

The pros outweigh the cons though

[7840U] Some FPS reports from Minecraft, CS2, and Battlebit Remastered in c/framework@hardware.watch
[–] 2b100k@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Squad: (Low preset, 1808x1202p)
Result: 35-45 avg fps, usually closer to 45.

Very smooth gameplay as well, no stuttering.
Keep in mind this title is running through steam proton compatiibilty layer.

[7840U] Some FPS reports from Minecraft, CS2, and Battlebit Remastered (alien.top)
 

For anyone who cares, some FPS reports on Fedora Linux for the 7840U + 32GB ram:

Minecraft (Lunar Client + Optifine)
12 Chunks,
Some optimizations in Optifine settings
Result: ~900-1050 avg fps
Result w/ MakeUp UltraFast Shaders: ~140-180 avg fps

Really good performance, much better than my desktop PC which maxes out around 300fps.
Note that the fan will spin very loudly if you do not cap the FPS, but 120 FPS is still really good.

CS2 (Medium preset, Dust II Casual vs Bots)
Result: ~50-70 avg fps

This game seems poorly optimized but I also didn't play for very long and this was against bots since matchmaking servers wouldn't connect.

Battlebit Remastered (High preset, 1504p custom res)
Result: ~80-120fps

All games were played while charging, for best performance.
