@@JaSon-wc4pn My calculation was PS5 + PS VR2 + PS Plus subscription and that's the premium one for one year and again it comes out cheaper than this phone! As a matter of fact, a gaming phone is a useless device, exceptional in the world of "phones", but unnecessary.

That’s so gimmicky to have 24gb of ram in a smart phone. The most demanding titles on a gaming pc rarely go about 16 gb and 24 gb of ram on a gaming pc is plenty for any game.

[@wycko0]

@@GlobalWave1 true the phones have so much power in their cpu and ram that they dont ever use all that power, im sure that this cpu with this much ram can handle more than 120fps in fortnite no problem but fortnite on android is unoptimised and its locked to only 90fps and other games aswell the most you will see on a game will be 120 locked but this phone pushes more than that, and in normal tasks this phone is overkill

[@HTMangaka]

Hmmm...The Ray Tracing isn't real 'Ray Tracing' here. It's applied Path tracing with standard normal-vector lighting. I'd say the path tracing mostly helps the depth maps and shadow maps look good here. =P Makes sense though. This GPU doesn't have enough Cores to really run those kinds of numbers. I wonder if it's CUDA Compatible. I love writing CUDA Kernels straight into memory. ^^

[@cakapcakep241]

Snapdragon's GPU is based on AMD's GPU. Qualcomm bought AMD's license to make the Adreno GPU. It is not going to be compatible with CUDA. Samsung also use AMD GPU on their flagship chipset like Exynos 2200 & Exynos 2400.

[@HTMangaka]

@@cakapcakep241 Man, I honestly think we should make CUDA the standard across all GPU types. It's CRAZY how much control you have over everything by just writing one or two Kernels. ^^

[@cakapcakep241]

@@HTMangaka Mediatek, Qualcomm, and Exynos support CUDA's equivalent like OpenCL. AMD's ROCm may come to mobile since Exynos use RDNA GPU.

[@HTMangaka]

@@cakapcakep241 OpenCL is nice, but it complicates the CUDA framework in my opinion. I mean...I can use it, I guess. XD But I honestly think that the future of GPU coding is in just writing CUDA Kernels. It'll be SO AWESOME once everyone catches on. ^^

Just when we thought 6 and 7 are already packed with so much power and features, Asus gave us even more with ROG Phone 8. Now this is a real powerhouse indeed! And while we (hardcore) gamers almost never care much, the camera got some really nice improvements too; take those photos and/or videos like a pro! Shame that we still can't play AAA games like the iPhone did with Resident Evil 8/Village, but just being able to play War Thunder is already just as good.

i like ASUS for pushing the limits of gaming... as someone who played mobile games, i think gaming phones are absolute overkill... 16gb of ram and i7 on your laptop runs 99% of the games on steam and machine like that will cost you less that 800$.. and gaming phones are 1000$+ and all u can do is play cod mobile... i rather buy a gaming laptop or steam deck.. this type of phone is only for the players that play competitive and maybe grind for the leaderboards, most of the sweats that i met in codm, wud play on ipad pros and redmagicks.. like i said i love ASUS goated company that makes truly the best gaming equipment..

The camera is definitely so-so but you're not getting it for the camera. I just wish they could handle the overheating issue without an external fan honestly for performance issues.
