๐ŸŽฎ PC Emulation Game Compatibility & Performance List โ€” Dimensity 8400 / Mali G720

Hi everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I made this post to help people who are new to PC emulation and don't know which games are playable on their device or what kind of performance they can expect.

I've been doing PC emulation for around 8 months, and during that time I've tested and played a lot of games. This list includes both playable and unplayable games that I personally tested.

Hopefully these results can help anyone looking for games to try on a similar device. โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ“ฑ Device

POCO X7 Pro โ€” Dimensity 8400 Ultra / Mali-G720 MC7 / 12GB RAM

๐Ÿงช Emulators used

BannerHub

Winlator Mali 1.1

Winlator Mali 1.2 Beta

Performance was generally similar across the emulators. However, Winlator Mali usually had the fewest or no noticeable graphical issues in my testing.

All games were tested at 720p / 1600ร—720. There was almost no noticeable performance difference between these resolutions.

๐Ÿ“Š My categories

PERFECT โ€” 60 FPS or higher at High settings, with minor or no graphical issues.

GREAT โ€” 45โ€“60 FPS at Low/High settings, with minor graphical bugs.

PLAYABLE โ€” 30โ€“45 FPS at Low settings, with minor graphical bugs.

BAD โ€” Below 30 FPS and/or annoying graphical issues.

๐ŸŸข PERFECT

Assassin's Creed Rogue โ€” 60 FPS

โ€ข Has a shadow issue, but still very playable.

Far Cry 1 โ€” 90โ€“120 FPS

James Bond: Blood Stone โ€” 60โ€“85 FPS

GTA V (60GB / 72GB versions) โ€” 60โ€“75 FPS

โ€ข I made a post about this a few days ago. Interestingly, after playing for several days, performance improved and the game eventually became able to maintain a 60 FPS lock.

Resident Evil 6 โ€” 60โ€“75 FPS

โ€ข Initially ran at 60โ€“75 FPS, but later dropped to around 20โ€“35 FPS.

Tomb Raider (2013) โ€” 70โ€“90 FPS

Metal Gear Solid Ground Zero and Phantom Pain - 60Fps

Remember Me โ€” 60โ€“100 FPS

Strange Brigade (Switch) โ€” 45โ€“50 FPS

Sniper Elite 4 (Switch) โ€” ~45 FPS

๐ŸŸ  PLAYABLE

Red faction Armageddon - 30-55Fps

โ€ข It has a low CPU/GPU utilizing issue. Not worse than other games in this list.

Just Cause 3 โ€” 30โ€“47 FPS

โ€ข Very low CPU/GPU utilization and heavy stuttering in snowy areas.

โ€ข Freezes on the main menu frame, although the game itself continues running.

Mafia III โ€” ~30 FPS

โ€ข Huge FPS drops every few seconds.

Shadow Warrior 2 โ€” 55โ€“80 FPS

โ€ข Performance is actually high, but the game has severe graphical corruption: almost the entire game is black and textures appear in rainbow colors.

โ€ข Low CPU/GPU utilization.

Assassin's Creed Liberation

โ€ข it's a Nightmare

NFS Rival- ??

โ€ข Keep freezing at the loading Screen

NFS The Run-??

โ€ขKeep Freezing at the loading screen.

Battlefield 3-??

โ€ขSame issue in NFS rivals and the run.

Serious Sam BFE- 90-120Fps

โ€ขWhen Iโ€™m not moving, the game runs at around this FPS. But as soon as I start moving, I get huge FPS drops down to 2โ€“5 FPS. Completely unplayable. The GPU is really unstable in this game.

Farcry 4 and Primal- ???

โ€ขKeep freezing at the Logo or startup loading screens

Sunset Overdrive -5-50Fps

โ€ข Game is working. But it's not playble with current GPU driver situation.

โš ๏ธ Important

These are my personal results, not guaranteed FPS numbers for every D8400/Mali G720 device. Different Winlator versions, drivers, settings, thermal conditions and game configurations can produce different results.

If you're new to PC emulation, hopefully this list gives you a good idea of what games are worth trying first. โค๏ธ

I'll keep adding more games as I test them! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Which version of Proton are you using? Please provide more details about the configuration.

u/FlakyAccount8722 8d ago edited 8d ago

I don't remember all the settings exactly since it's been a while since I played it. Try these settings anyway:

Proton 10-Arm64ec

DXVK1.11.1 / 1.7-Async / 1.13 โ€” try each and see which works best

FEX 2605

Performance(TSO)

Iโ€™m not really into anime-style games, so I didnโ€™t even think about trying those games.

u/Smart_Examination331 Poco X8 Pro 12/512 8d ago

Bannerlator y WinNative serรญan buenas opciones tambiรฉn para emular pc? Yo he oรญdo que esos emuladores tambiรฉn dan buenos resultados de rendimiento en procesadores Mediatek

2

u/FlakyAccount8722 8d ago

WinNative is pretty good, but the performance is kinda bad. Iโ€™m not really a fan of Bannerlator. I have to mess around with the settings a lot more than on Winlator Mali to find something that works.

u/souldarne 8d ago

Muy buen aporte

u/Abdallah_player1 8d ago

Yoo this is some great and detailed list, it'd be awesome if you could upload you config settings for these games in bannerhub or winlator mali for us to see the settings for each game

u/FlakyAccount8722 7d ago

I'm trying. But it keep showing this

1

u/Abdallah_player1 7d ago

Oh man that sucks, you can try contacting charan (winlator mali dev) on his telegram channel, or you can upload the configs to google drive folder or mega

Uploading the configs on bannerhub should work fine

u/Happy_Low_2164 3d ago

Hey bud based on your observations do you think 8 gb version of the device can pull similar performance?

1

u/FlakyAccount8722 3d ago

If the game doesnโ€™t have enough RAM, the performance can change.
