"Last year Qualcomm promised that games would "just work" on its Snapdragon X Elite laptops, but in my testing I found that was far from the case. Now, a year on, Windows on Arm is a lot more ready for gaming, thanks to emulator improvements, driver updates, a new Snapdragon Control Panel, and Qualcomm's work on anti-cheat compatibility. Qualcomm is releasing its Snapdragon Control Panel this week, which automatically detects games you've installed on a Snapdragon X Elite laptop and then optimizes them."
"It's very similar to the apps that AMD and Nvidia use for their own GPUs, with settings for framerate caps, anti-aliasing, texture filtering, and much more. The Snapdragon Control Panel also allows you to install the latest Adreno GPU drivers, which are optimized for the latest games to improve stability and performance."
