Although Qualcomm's graphics solution is currently not yet a match for the integrated iGPUs from Intel and AMD in terms of gaming, the software is likely to be an important milestone. If you have a device with the appropriate chip and like to play games with low quality settings, you can download the «Adreno Control Panel» beta from the Qualcomm Software Centre. However, you will need to create an account if you do not already have one.
