We tested the Snapdragon X Elite running Baldur's Gate 3 with FSR 2.2

We are at an event in London with Qualcomm where we have been able to test the new Snapdragon X Elite that will soon arrive on laptops with Windows 11 ARM. This SoC is the first from the company to debut the new Oryon architecture with which they promise performance much higher than previous generations with which they intend to be on par with high-performance solutions from Intel and AMD.

We have been able to test a test laptop with this Snapdragon X Elite executing the Baldur's Gate 3 downloaded directly from Steam, that is, the conventional version for Windows 11 x86-64 and executed through real-time emulation directly.

Using a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels on a 120 HZ screen and with low detail, Along with AMD FSR 2.2 technology, the game moved at about 30 FPS stably.

The performance is consistent with what could be seen a few weeks ago running the same game on a similar test unit.

To achieve these figures, the team with the Snapdragon X Elite was using FSR 2.2 in quality mode. When we disabled FSR, performance fell below 20 FPS, but it is still striking that a computer with an ARM SoC can run a modern native x86-64 game with this performance, especially considering that it requires emulation at real time.

The Snapdragon X Elite is intended to be one of the most powerful ARM laptop processors on the market. Qualcomm itself promises 28% higher performance than Apple's M3.

The test device had 64 GB of RAM and a Snapdragon
