========================================
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 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

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

Once the mods approved my posts ull see what I mean. Have tested the same on my Rog3 and without skipping EFS i have 47FPS on same settings as you instead of your 34FPS, which is quite a dratsic difference, also ull see my clockspeed of 3100mhz instead of your 850ish.
Overall seeing that without skipping EFS you barely get 35fps I would think that on 2k settings even with skipping EFS ull probably encounter some small fps drops here and there on 2k resolution when more stuff is happening, which is a shame but it is what it is I guess.
