Gaming experience Radxa Dragon Q6A Snapdragon QCS6490

[LivingLinux]

I see a very active gaming thread for the Orange Pi 5, but the Radxa Dragon Q6A is the better credit card sized ARM SBC for gaming.

I'm a bit of a lazy person, so I don't feel like testing many settings, so I settled on the Steam ARM Linux client and for some games the Luxtorpeda tool for Steam.

Luxtorpeda isn't developed for ARM, but it will run with Fex-Emu, and I assume Box64.

Here you can see Metro 2033 Redux on the Rada Dragon Q6A. I played it with Luxtorpeda. You can also play it with Proton ARM64, but I didn't see much difference with the performance.

Performance is around 20-25 fps at 1080p most of the time, but I have tested only the beginning of the game.

If you have audio issues, you can try to run it like this: PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 mangohud %command%

I added Mangohud, so you can see the fps.

 

I'm interested to see the gaming experience from other people.
