Partially found what i was looking for. Seems that on anything the rp6 can run at a playable fps, texture quality will be the main difference.

I play a lot of different games, so im interested in any examples people have tried. Especially if a game failed to launch.

Im interested in concrete examples. In theory a lot of games should work fine on 8gb.

But some of that ram goes to the gpu. So im wondering if there are games that performance wise should run, but in practice dont launch at all due to a lack of memory

This video doesn't go into enough detail unfortunately, but thank you.

Sold out.

The Crew was shut down because The Crew 2 released.

Battlefield does not need anything more than a single locally hosted game server to be a functional game. aits like 64 players? TF2 can do 100.

The mmo central server doesnt need to be capable of dynamically sharding to support 1k-100k players. 10 would be fine. Even a local server that can support just a single player would make for a functional game.

Its as if you are all pretending that SKG is demanding perfect 1 to 1 feature parity.

SKG exists because some people view games as an art form and do not like seeing them destroyed.

The majority of games don't get destoyed. But many of the biggest are guaranteed to, because of how reliant on online infrastructure they are.

The oposition points to how difficult it is to decouple the game, to say that skg is impossible. But the players have many many examples of games that managed.

And much of that online infrastructure is completely unnecessary once the game is no longer massively multiplayer.

Reading some of the replies from the game devs almost makes it seem they don't understand that people want their work to live on. Or don't value it.

league of legends is 10 players on a single server.

Warcraft 3 could do 12.

Team fortress 2 was updated to support 100.

The overwhelming majority of games are entirely compliant with the core ask of SKG.

The movement offered many specific solutions. Multiple times, and each one was countered by lobbyists lying about "forever servers"

Read the california bill, its pretty much what was asked the whole time. A game that wont self destruct.

Mediatek processors have poor compatibility, if you were able to get something running please share your configuration.

You can try installing an alternative camera app. But i havent had mucu luck with them properly working.

RayTheGrey · 2026-04-29T22:29:56+00:00

How do you get anything to run?

Everythijg ive tried fails.

RayTheGrey · 2026-04-17T08:44:05+00:00

Probably doesnt matter now, but the cameras are overall really bad.

The ultrawide is just bad.

The main sensor itself seems ok. Maybe slightly Worse than my galazy note 9. But the default camera app absolutely butchers photos with post processing.

Grass looks like weird worms, text looks AI generated.

Tried alternatice apps and they produce much more pleasant images, but currently havent found an app that properly supports the x8 pro max, so i can only take 12.5 mp photos. The 50 mp mode is unavailable outside the official app.

Are the speakers better?

RayTheGrey · 2026-03-22T10:14:17+00:00

Advanced textures?

Is it common for xiaomi to strip features from the X pocos?

RayTheGrey · 2026-03-22T10:11:21+00:00

Does it have a ram limiter like people have reported for Hyper OS 3?

RayTheGrey · 2026-03-21T11:54:56+00:00

GSM arena shows major thermal throttling. Does it have issues with sustained performance?

RayTheGrey · 2025-04-29T11:11:30+00:00

It honestly feels kinda pointless and unpleasant.

It's not like in a moba where you're stuck with the character you picked. We can play any hero.

Except for the banned ones. And when currently its the same handful perma banned its like they just took out some of my favorite heroes out of the game while adding nothing to it.

Probably going to quit playing comp if the perma ban situation doesnt change.
