What graphics capabilities does the Framework Laptop have?
July 7 2022 11:19pmThe Framework Laptop with Intel 11th Gen Core Processors has Intel's Xe Graphics integrated. The Base configuration with i5-1135G7 has 80EUs (small graphics cores), while the Performance with i7-1165G7 and Professional with i7-1185G7 each have 96EUs. This means the i7-based configurations have close to 20% higher graphics performance. Note that we recommend using two sticks of memory to achieve maximum graphics performance.
The Framework Laptop can handle common creative and graphics editing workloads as well as many popular gaming titles. We expect games like Overwatch, GTA:V, League of Legends, and others to run at 60fps. For heavier gaming titles, we recommend using an eGPU enclosure. Members of the Framework Community are testing these and reporting their experiences.
