Performance Review of Resident Evil Requiem on Red Magic 11 Pro
The performance of Resident Evil Requiem on the Red Magic 11 Pro smartphone proved to be quite intriguing, with varying results depending on the scene being played. Indoor areas, which constitute a significant portion of the gameplay, showcased surprisingly smooth performance, with frame rates often reaching 60-70 FPS when the frame rate is unlocked. In tighter enclosed spaces, the frame rate even soared up to 100 FPS.
However, outdoor sections presented a more demanding challenge. In larger environments with increased on-screen action and detail, the performance dropped to around 40-45 FPS. The test system was set to the phone’s “Rise” performance mode to maximize CPU and GPU clocks. Despite the presence of a built-in fan and liquid cooling system, sustained workloads led to thermal throttling.
Memory capacity also played a crucial role in the performance. The Red Magic device under test boasted 16 GB of RAM, which proved to be essential for running modern PC titles through emulation. The creator highlighted that devices with 8 GB of RAM might struggle, while 12 GB could work but might still pose limitations depending on the game.
While the setup on the Red Magic 11 Pro falls short of replacing handheld PCs like the Steam Deck or ROG Ally, it underscores the rapid advancements in ARM-based devices. The creator also hinted at the potential for upcoming ARM-based gaming platforms, such as Valve’s rumored initiatives, to drive the development of improved x86-to-ARM translation tools.
