Performance Preview

1 story
One-percent-low frame rate is the starting point for Performance Preview, while resolution reconstruction and CPU-bound scene distinguish it from broader coverage under Previews & First Impressions. Thermal throttling establishes the underlying rule, while memory pressure and driver regression show how that rule changes the experience.
Editorial conclusions draw on benchmark repeatability, GPU saturation and frame-pacing variance, with uncertainty stated when the implementation is incomplete or changing. Differences involving asset-streaming hitch and hands-on evidence are included when they change access, control, rewards or compatibility. The page is reserved for cases in which Performance Preview determines the practical conclusion, recommendation or explanation.
