Why the gpu in 1580 better 100% and in pubg just 60 fps and smooth? Or 40 with HDR. Snapdragon 6 gen 3 support 60 fps with smooth or HDR. The Exynos 1580 should be minimum 90 fps pubg mobile

Optimization. Synthetic tests serve to demonstrate the potential of the CPU and GPU, regardless of inadequate optimization. Games, on the other hand, need time to be optimized for new releases.
