Qualcomm has made significant strides in mobile gaming performance with its latest chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Recent reports from WCCF Tech highlight the chip’s capability to run the AAA title Red Dead Redemption at an impressive frame rate exceeding 160 FPS.
Images shared on the social media platform X reveal a smartphone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip successfully operating Red Dead Redemption with a stable frame rate above 160 FPS. However, the exact graphics settings used during this performance test have not been disclosed.
Speculation suggests that this performance is likely achieved at a resolution of 720p. While this may not match the performance of dedicated PC GPUs, it represents a significant advancement for mobile processors.
Historically, playing AAA games on smartphones was considered unfeasible, but advancements in technology have allowed chips like the Snapdragon 8 Elite to handle demanding gaming experiences, marking a transformative moment for mobile gaming.
It is important to note, however, that Red Dead Redemption, released in 2010, may not present the same challenges as newer AAA titles with more advanced graphics. The true test for the Snapdragon 8 Elite will be its performance with these modern games.
