RUNNING PUBG MOBILE AT HDR + ULTRA GRAPHICS ON REALME 6
The game will update and restart once before you can play in HDR + Ultra Settings. You can change the Graphics Settings by tapping on the gear icon and then tapping on graphics. Change the graphics to HDR and frame rate to Ultra and you are all set to go.

We clocked our gameplay with GameBench and straight off, we saw the frame rate climb to 40 FPS with 93 percent stability. On the other hand, playing the game at the normal graphics settings also run it at 40 FPS but at 99 percent stability. So if you were expecting a significant improvement in frame rates, that’s not happening. What did happen though was that the quality of in-game elements like the buildings, trees, and even the characters looked much more realistic and dare I say, richer? Note that Realme 6 doesn’t come with an HDR panel and the game is likely pushing the brightness levels higher than normal to achieve the effect.
PUBG Mobile at HD + Ultra settings
Perhaps because of that, just a three-minute session of PUBG Mobile at HDR + Ultra settings was enough for the Realme 6 to issue an overheating warning. And for good reason. We check the CPU temperature after our small session, and it was steaming at 73 degrees Celsius. That’s how much we see an Intel Core i7 heat up on a desktop when running Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 2K resolution with everything maxed out. Just for comparison’s sake.

The reasons for the higher temperatures were also clear after studying the CPU frequency distribution. When the game was running at the higher HDR + Ultra settings, all eight CPU cores were running nearly at their peak (the performance cores were maxed out for the entire duration), while the default graphics settings make it run less intensive with the CPU cores running slower and hence, cooler. Noticeably, the peak CPU usage while playing on HDR was around 61%, a good 20 percent more than when we played in the default settings.
