========================================
Hello everyone.
Do you know if (and when) Asus will unlock the ability to run level 3 in X Mode, without a cooling fan. Because it's a strange thing that the Rog Phone 2 works at 100% power (no fan) and works better in an emulator (e.g. Dolphin).
Rog 2 has a processor frequency of 2.96 GHz while rog phone 5 is max 1.56 GHz. max. It is also strange that other smartphones (not gaming) with the 888 snapdragon work in the machine at full power, without additional accessories.
Rog Phone 3 also has level 3 locked in X Mode, but there, although you can manually set it to run at 3.09Ghz.
Can someone also explain to me the differences in processor timing, for ROG 2/3/5, in the same Level 2 mode in X Mode
Rog 2 (Snapdragon 855+) - 2.39GHz
Rog 3 (Snapdragon 865+) - 2.09GHz
Rog 3 (Snapdragon 888) - 1.56GHz
The more powerful the processor, the lower the clock frequency at Level 2

I mean.... Look at how many people beg for VoLTE and "black crush" fix and yet nothing happened yet 😅
I'm just being realistic here, to be fair as well, performance is currently the least of ASUS's problem as there seem to be a rather massive problem going on with calls getting dropped and so on.

I tested them on a dolphin emulator with a Nintendo Wii game "Super Mario Galaxy"

If I play without settings in Armory Crate, these are the values ​​of the processor

Game running in full screen in 1080p resolution

Rog 2

Rog 3

When I enabled skip efb access from cpu, on two Rog, we have 60 fps. with the same setting. With Rog 2, this is not a fixed value

With the game resolution set to 2k and full screen, the differences in favor of Rog 5 are greater

Here is my Rog3 for comparison to your Rog2 / Rog5:
WIthout skipping efb access from CPU


With the option enabled:


Given your lackluster performance when skipping is not enabled (my rog 3 has literally 13FPS more than your Rog5) I think it's safe to assume that you will most likely experience some FPS drops later down the road when lots of stuff is happening on your screen, so I guess 1080p should be your target resolution rather than 2k. Not that I expected anything else to be fair, thanks for the insightful information tho, really appreciate it! ☺️
