Test conditions explicitly use Windows Balanced with BIOS SoC performance and 512 MB RAM allocation unchanged as delivered by the maker. The 512 MB setting is shared-memory test context, not dedicated GPU VRAM. BIOS version and Windows build are not published. All 82 populated cells of the original 22-game integrated-GPU summary table are stored with their published resolution, preset and mean FPS. The separate GRID Legends 1280 x 720 Low chart adds one distinct 141.4 FPS row, for 83 rows total. Generic AF/AA hyperlinks do not establish an algorithm or numeric setting and are omitted. Explicit TAA/SMAA/FXAA/MSAA and numeric AF levels remain in presets. Only Cyberpunk explicitly states FSR off. Only F1 2021 Ultra High explicitly names ray tracing, so that row is true and other ray-tracing cells are unknown. Upscaling for other rows, frame generation, game patch versions and 1 percent low method are not stated. Chart minima and P1 percentile figures are not substituted for mean FPS or average 1 percent lows. The separate unscoped Witcher 3 loop average 23.3 FPS and all eGPU results are excluded.
