Cyberpunk 2077 Launched on a Smartphone with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor

User X with the nickname @cozy_OSS demonstrated how to unlock the potential of modern mobile chips. In response to a question on how to use the power of the latest chips, he showed a gameplay video with the popular action game Cyberpunk 2077 on a smartphone.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset in testing shows better graphics than the AMD Radeon 780M in the ASUS ROG Ally portable gaming console, which makes it quite capable of running demanding titles. In the situation with Cyberpunk 2077, the GameFusion emulator was used, and despite the fact that the graphics settings were reduced to low and the resolution was set to 720p, the game consistently produced 60 frames per second, ensuring a smooth process. The full video is available at the link.

Blogger and insider Ben Geskin also decided to test the capabilities of the Snapdragon 8 Elite by running the MadOut 2 game with maximum graphics settings on an as-yet-unnamed smartphone. Initially, the frame rate was 45 fps, but after ten minutes it dropped to 33 fps. In addition, the insider noted that the device became extremely hot, so much so that he even felt a burn from the smartphone, which also began to emit the smell of burnt plastic.
