RedMagic 11 Pro demonstrates respectable FPS performance on PC-class AAA games after the update

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 “breaks” AAA games through emulation

The YouTube channel *ETA Prime* has once again proven that smartphones powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip can function as full-fledged gaming platforms. On the updated RedMagic 11 Pro Golden Saga Edition, several “professional” games were launched via an emulator.

What was tested
In a 11‑minute video, the authors showed that in games such as *Cyberpunk 2077*, *Ghost of Tsushima*, *Grand Theft Auto V*, *Project Cars 2*, *Red Dead Redemption 2* and *Resident Evil Requiem*, the smartphone maintains “playable” frame rates.

- Red Dead Redemption 2 – an average of 40 fps, occasionally up to 60 fps.
- Resident Evil Requiem – over 90 fps (with minor graphical artifacts).
- Grand Theft Auto V – on open maps above 60 fps, indoors over 100 fps.
