TL;DR

  • Google has started rolling out a new GPU driver for the Pixel 10 series with Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1.
  • The update aligns with Imagination’s August driver release and brings Android 16 and Vulkan 1.4 support.
  • While real-world performance gains remain unconfirmed, the update should reach stable builds in a future Pixel Drop

Thank you, I looked up all the ones I didn't know and, as I said in my first comment, we are still stuck with 10 years old gaming.

Not saying that the games suck (although some look like crap honestly), my point is that after a decade of hardware and software "updates" the bottleneck is still there and basically unchanged.

And that is unacceptable considering the price tag of some devices.

What bottleneck are you talking about?

And that is unacceptable considering the price tag of some devices.

I agree for pixel phones. For everyone else you have options. you can game at medium to high settings on upper midrange dimensity 8300/8400 phones, snapdragon 7+ gen 2/3, 8gen 2, 8s gen 3, and other phones.

What's the last modern game you have played on your phone?

[-] limerod@reddthat.com 1 points 4 days ago

I have listed all the games that I have played and still keep installed on my phone. Others like Real Racing 3 require powerful hardware which my phone does not have unfortunately.

What exactly are you expecting here?

[-] kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

The same I've repeated since the beginning, just something that doesn't look like it's from the 2015 Play Store.

Even that Real Racing is from 2013 bro... literally released that year.

Sorry, I meant Rush Rally 3. Anyway, there's GridAutosport, Wreakfest.

[-] kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

Oh ok, that's just 6 years old and from the screenshots it looks like crap.

Is there anything else than cringe racing game with shitty graphics?

[-] limerod@reddthat.com 1 points 3 days ago

There's the final fantasy series. But, honestly you are expecting way too much. People are not willing to give $1 for a useful app. Forget throwing 10-30 times that amount for a console quality game.
