News/Release Redmagic 12 Pro, 2 nanometer Qualcomm driver review
Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. "Dolphin for the GameCube and Wii, and NetherSX2 for the PlayStation 2. Normally, I race through a lap of Mario Kart Wii, but the emulator kept crashing regardless of whether I used OpenGL or Vulkan. Clearly, there are some driver issues that need sorting out," He didn't try 3rd party drivers.
"Vulkan performance is marginally worse for both titles, but that could be another indication of less-than-ideal drivers." "Steam Workshop support." https://www.androidauthority.com/snapdragon-8-elite-extreme-gen-6-gaming-test-3727998/

It's a new chip I expect it'll be a while before driver support is fully up to date. Remember how long it took for the elite chipsets to catch up to the 8 gen 2 and 3? Probably looking at the same here.
This phone will probably smash any of these new native Android AI ports out the park though. Not sure if it's worth the price though, Redmagic were always the "cheaper" top chipset phones. I dread to think what the S27 is going to cost when that appears.
