Oh its more than capable of running high end 3D stuff, but it works best if you write code specificially for the OpenGLES3.1 (or Vulkan) drivers and optimise it to suit. Running generic code from other linux machines won't get the same levels of performance,. I've very much enjoyed testing out what it can do and finding out some of the things it can't do, or can't do well. Its really quite a capable games system when its coded direct..
Lots of Linux games work fine on the Pi, it's getting to the point where its fast enough for some quite decent 3D stuff.
But there's really not that big a market (or even interest) in specific Raspberry Pi games..

So best to do it for the fun and the education. I use Pi's to teach my game dev students to write tight, well formated performant code, especially renders, becuase the Pi screams foul when you do things badly.. A PC, just throws a few more horses at the bad code and it all works.
anyway, Im still loving my expereince with the Pi, the Pi5 is astounding... but I'm aiming at Pi4 as my baseline...if I can get my game to run smooth on that I'll be able to sit back and drink the two coffee's I'll earn from it with pride.
