Youre thinking of the screens refreshrate that is max 120Hz and variable, compared to the 60hz a "regular" non-pro iPad has.
It doesn't have anything to do with gaming performance really but more to do with "smoothness" of the screen, sometimes better touch response and improved battery performance.

Back in 2017, awesome. Nowadays, even the iPad 8th and 9th gen beats it when it comes to performance.

The Pro 10.5 doesn't have the graphics performance needed to actually deliver 120 fps for something like say Genshin Impact.

Also, it's quite prone to white spot so I wouldn't buy one now. Same issue with Air 3.

Performance wise, it's still fast. And I say it as someone who uses A12x and M1 iPads regularly. But I would worry about the white spots much more than about performance

General performance, sure. Gaming's a different beast though.

For example, Divinity 2 and Resident Evil Village won't even run on the A10X.

You are right, I missed that the question was about gaming... my bad. I don't game, so I don't know...

For gaming, today, I’d get something newer. For optimal gaming performance you need an iPad that runs the closest possible iOS version to the original and the best possible processor. The 10.5-inch iPad Pro, today, has neither.
