In handheld gaming devices like the Onexplayer Apex Ai Max+ 395, reducing power consumption from 80W to 35W can maintain similar gaming performance (40-50 FPS) when the device is not fully utilizing its power budget, demonstrating that power scaling benefits are most significant when the device is CPU-bound and that disabling unused CPU cores (CCD1) can improve overall system efficiency by allowing the GPU to receive more power allocation.

Onexplayer Apex Elden Ring Gameplay Ai Max+ 395 + 8060S
Added:Hey everyone, welcome back. Today we're going to be playing some Elden Ring on the One X Player 1X Fly Apex with the 395 chip in it. And I do have my CCD 1 cores turned off, which means this is essentially a 388. And doing that actually gives you a little bit better speeds on your CPU because these games that aren't CPU bound actually benefit from having that boost on the GPU side.
So, if you want to know how to do that, I will leave a link in the description.
But for the settings of this game, I have it at a full screen. It's at 1200p.
And I also have it on maximum quality.
So, you can go over here. I'm just going to turn off motion blur, and that's just for my own benefit. But that's going to be the only change on here. Over on the One X console app, I have it at 80 watts right now. It is plugged in, and then I have it at 1200p. The overlay is turned on. CPU boost is turned off because this is not a CPU bound game. And then in the brightness and volume are both set to 100. The driver date is 26.6.4, which is June 28th, 2026. You can see over here that I have 16 gigs of VRAM allocated, and that's what I mean with the cores turned off cuz the 395 has 16 cores. So, right now it is turned to eight cores.
I'm running around, you can see that we're getting anywhere from 40 to 50 FPS on these maximum settings. Again, at 80 watts.
Oh, wow. This guy This guy took me out quick.
I do not remember how to play this game.
Ah!
This is fine.
>> But usually I go aggro this guy and then come back. And then once I'm done doing the gameplay test, I never play this game again until the next one.
Because I don't enjoy the constant punishment this Oh.
Oh, wow.
Yep. Yeah, I'm going to die for sure.
There he is.
How quickly can I get my horse?
No. No, come on.
Okay.
Well, that's at 80 W.
So, let's go ahead and drop it down to 55.
All right, I have it set to 55 W on battery.
It seems like it's not using the full 55 watts.
So, we might see comparable performance when I drop it down to 35.
But, let's aggro this beast and check this out.
Okay, that's fun.
Run away.
How did I not hit him?
Oh, no. Come on.
Just die.
Oh, yeah. Got him.
Okay.
Let's go ahead and drop it down to 35 watts, which will be the highest that we can get with like a Z2 Extreme or G3 Extreme device.
And let Let fight these guys.
Oh, I aggroed one.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Oh, that spear is long.
And the FPS is basically similar. You can see that the Oh-oh.
Don't love that. I don't love that.
Uh the wattage right here that you're seeing is the same as it was showing on 55 watts. So, that's why we're seeing similar performance here and I am getting surrounded. Oh, boy. This [snorts] is not This is not good. No. No. No.
Oh, no.
I'm so screwed.
Yep. Yep. I am screwed. I'm screwed.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yep. There we go. Well, it definitely looks like something funky is going on with the 55 watts, but I did just do a BIOS update, so maybe that's why. We'll see if some other updates will sort that out, but again, if I flip back to 55 watts, you can see that the wattage isn't really changing at the top corner.
But, either way, you get an idea of what this game performs like on maximum 1200p.
And hopefully this was helpful. If it was, make sure you let me know down in the comments. Hit that like button and subscribe if you haven't already. Take care till the next one.
