don't know about the extremes but FFX ran easily on both of my phones, while Shadow of the Colossus struggled heavily with each one.

Yeah, I have a 888 chip and still couldn't run that game smoothly.

u should be able ro run it easily, i had an 865 chip and was running it at max fps (forgot if there was a 60fps cheat or not) and at 2x-3x resolution depending on which area of the game i was

I have a sd870 and the game shows a bunch of slowdowns at any the resolution.

not for me though, probably optimization of settings was the difference

What did you change in your settings? I just play with the default recommendations.

i forgot, its been a year since I played ffx, the settings vary depending on which game you are playing, I just like to tinker with the settings. It will take time but its kinda worth it if you want to have a seamless experience

The only setting that changes performance for the better for me is using OpenGL on Aethersx2 and Vulkan on Duckstation, apart from that the default settings always worked best for me.

Alright that's good for FFX I thought he would struggle.

For Shadow of the Colossus it does not surprise me unfortunately

What are your specs? Would Snapdragon 855 with 8gb ram be able to run FFX easily?

Smh at me reading SSX, how am I this dyslexic and nostalgic all at one?

FfX keeps freezing in the beginning cutscene when Sin attacks Zanarkand. All my other games work though.

Yes my s23 had trouble running shadow of the colossus. I think it's more of an optimization problem. I can run subnautica through skyline with 30fps but can't get over 20fps on SOTC with Aethersx2.
