    A 30-hour test of the Steam release used native 1280x800, mixed low/medium settings, FSR 2 Quality, and a 40 Hz cap for a locked 40 FPS result. Some menu transitions stalled for about ten seconds, and dense cities showed frame variation.

  5. Sourced reportreviews.org4 / 5Good800p, Custom preset, 40 FPS target

    The author added Battle.net as a non-Steam game with minimal tweaking and played Diablo IV for hours. Default settings ran at 60 FPS; a 40 FPS setup showed no dips, remained quiet, and allowed prettier settings, with about 2.5 hours of battery life.
