Can the Snapdragon 8 Elite run Popular PC Games?

The realme GT 7 Pro, powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, has demonstrated the capability to run AAA PC games like Assassin’s Creed Black Flag at 60 frames per second with a GPU usage rate of around 70%. Videos have also shown the device running Assassin’s Creed Rogue and Grand Theft Auto V. The gaming performance is facilitated by an upcoming application called GameFusion, which is designed for running demanding games on mobile devices. The developers of GameFusion have faced scrutiny for past work on the EggNS emulator and have introduced a paid subscription model. There is an ongoing partnership with GameSir, and details about GameFusion's availability and business model are currently unclear.

Wow! Google is Working On Running a Native Linux Terminal App on Your Android Device!

Google is developing a native Linux Terminal app for Android, which will be accessible through developer settings. The app will use the Android Virtualization Framework (AVF) and connect to a local virtual machine (VM) running Debian, allowing users to execute various Linux commands. Currently, users need to manually set up the Linux VM, but Google plans to simplify this process. The app will include features like disk resizing, port forwarding, and disk partition recovery, with mock settings pages already added. Additionally, there are efforts to improve support for AVF APIs and merge the Terminal app with LinuxInstaller for easier Debian image management. Recent updates have enhanced host-guest communication related to the VM functionality of the Terminal app. This initiative aims to enhance Android's capabilities and support for running Linux applications.

The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing

Nintendo has a history of opposing emulation and has taken legal action against emulator creators and ROM distribution websites, stating that downloading or copying older titles violates copyright laws. A Twitter user discovered that a SNES controller at the Nintendo Museum in Japan was disconnected via USB, producing a sound associated with Windows, suggesting that a SNES title was being emulated on a Windows PC. This revelation raises questions about the museum's choice to use an emulator instead of a functioning SNES console. Additionally, the setup poses cybersecurity risks, as the easily disconnected controller could allow unauthorized devices to connect, creating vulnerabilities.

These 5 issues are the most frustrating part of PC gaming | Digital Trends

The author began gaming at age four with a Super Nintendo and has primarily engaged in PC gaming. They appreciate the versatility and upgrade potential of gaming desktops but acknowledge challenges in the PC gaming landscape as of 2024. Common issues include mismanagement of resolution and scaling in AAA titles, with games often defaulting to lower resolutions and lacking optimization for ultrawide monitors. Gamers may struggle with incorrect automatic resolution adjustments, as seen in titles like Cyberpunk 2077, and may need to modify .ini files for desired settings. The terminology surrounding upscaling technologies can be confusing, with different games using various terms for similar features. Some games overwhelm players with excessive graphics settings, making it difficult to determine their impact on performance. The lack of standardized previews for graphics settings complicates decision-making, and many games require restarts after changing settings without clear guidance on when this is necessary. Overall, the author desires a more streamlined experience in PC gaming compared to the plug-and-play nature of consoles.
