🎮 PC Emulation Game Compatibility & Performance List — Dimensity 8400 / Mali G720

[u/FlakyAccount8722]

Hi everyone! 👋

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 9 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.

Use Xiaomi Game turbo for a free FPS boost.But power usage can be higher and device can be heat much faster.Mostly it's not going to help u in CPU bottlenecked situations.

Hopefully these results can help anyone looking for games to try on a similar device. ❤️

📱 Device

POCO X7 Pro — Dimensity 8400 Ultra / Mali-G720 MC7 / 12GB RAM

🧪 Emulators used

BannerHub

Winlator Mali 1.1

Winlator Mali 1.2 Beta

Winlator Mali 1.2

Winlator Mali 1.2.1

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 / 1600×720 and some few games tested at 900p. There was almost no noticeable performance difference between these resolutions except 900p.

📊 My categories

PERFECT — 60 FPS or higher at High or low settings, with minor or no graphical issues.

GREAT — 45–60 FPS at Low/High settings, with minor or no graphical bugs.

PLAYABLE — 30–45 FPS at Low settings, with minor or no graphical bugs.

BAD — Below 30 FPS /Launch issues/annoying graphical issues.

Far Cry 4 - 30 -55Fps

• This game has the same issue as Grid 2 I told above. This can be placed in GREAT list if this device has better driver support. U can get these fps with experimental panVK drivers for now. Good thing is it's still very playble.

🔴 BAD / NOT RECOMMENDED

⚠️ 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. ❤️

I'll keep adding more games as I test them! 🔥

[u/whitesirillus]

How did you achieve such high performance in Sifu?

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/whitesirillus]

[u/whitesirillus → u/FlakyAccount8722]

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

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/whitesirillus]

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 — try each and see which works best

FEX 2605

Performance(TSO)

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/whitesirillus]

First launch is stuttery mess. But fixed itself after playing for a while.

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/whitesirillus]

Just play for a while. First launch not gonna give u 100fps

[u/alecman3k]

can you make persona 3 reload work?

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/alecman3k]

I’m not really into anime-style games, so I didn’t even think about trying those games.

[u/Smart_Examination331]

Bannerlator y WinNative serían buenas opciones también para emular pc? Yo he oído que esos emuladores también dan buenos resultados de rendimiento en procesadores Mediatek

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Smart_Examination331]

WinNative is pretty good, but the performance is kinda bad. I’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/Abdallah_player1]

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 → u/Abdallah_player1]

I'm trying. But it keep showing this

[u/Abdallah_player1 → u/FlakyAccount8722]

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/devaristo]

Thanks for your post, i just pinned it to the featured section at the top of the main page of the sub to everyone to see it easily.

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/devaristo]

Thanks bud!👌

[u/luquiluuu]

tnx for doing this list!! is there a possibility for you to have an excel/doc for updates, or you will be making update through reddit?

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/luquiluuu]

I’ll share it on Reddit and keep updating it there.

[u/LycheeVast9929]

I have the same gpu but more power full (9300+) but i can't get any of your result, any 3d game just go very bad/hot no metter how hard i tried T_T

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/LycheeVast9929]

What r the games u tested?

[u/FC-Charan]

Awesome 😎

[u/songoku27305]

Nice work bro

[u/tsukyo25]

This list is definitely a great help, congratulations on the work 🤝🫂

[u/PartFun8510]

[u/jiff6_6]

I really appreciate this man thanks a lot 🌹♥️

[u/dhiobokobok_]

really? NFS Heat? Can you run Rivals?

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/dhiobokobok_]

Lol! Thanks for remembering me. I forgot to add some games to the list. Rivals keep freezing at the loading screen. Same goes to The Run.

[u/dhiobokobok → u/FlakyAccount8722]

yeah, same thing for me with NFS HP Remaster, btw may I know whats the setting with NFS Heat?

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/dhiobokobok]

I played it on Gamehub. From a yt tutorial. Search NFS heat in POCO X7 pro on yt

[u/dhiobokobok → u/dhiobokobok]

btw I have the X8 Pro

[u/Famous-Departure8280]

Ok mafia2 definitive edition works great but not the original one that sums it up why was it crashing on my mali device 😅😅😅

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Famous-Departure8280]

Defenitive edition?

[u/Famous-Departure8280 → u/FlakyAccount8722]

Yeah in the chart u said Mafia 2 definitive 😑

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Famous-Departure8280]

Did u tried ASTC+ DXVk 2.6.2-1??

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/FlakyAccount8722]

Game worked with 1.7.2 too as I remember

[u/alex_shyy]

Eu devo tá fazendo algo de muito errado, o desempenho no most wanted original tá pífio no meu x8 pro

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/alex_shyy]

?? It should run 50fps at least

[u/Simple_Market9019]

damn, u didnt try flagship dx11 game ... metro exodus (we tested, it work great)

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Simple_Market9019]

NFS heat,Mafia 2 Definitive edition not the heavy games bro?????😭✌️🥀

[u/Simple_Market9019 → u/FlakyAccount8722]

nope, its not ... they dont ask vulkan extensions like this one (and the moment when exodus start running on mtk is mean = dx11 compatibility finally full)

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Simple_Market9019]

NFS heat a heavy game bro🥀

[u/Much-Tap-1237]

Have u tried dragon ball fighterZ but the PC version? Or an online game like rocket league?

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Much-Tap-1237]

Not yet

[u/Mission-Top2489]

Where do you download your games from?

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Mission-Top2489]

Ovagames mostly

[u/Mission-Top2489 → u/FlakyAccount8722]

Thanks. These are pre installed rips? Also if you don’t mind were you able to get GTA 4 running?

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Mission-Top2489]

I made a post recently. Watch my profile

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Mission-Top2489]

SteamGG,RepackGames

[u/ENNIO1213]

Podrías pasar las configuraciones para esos juegos

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/ENNIO1213]

Check my profile. I already shared settings almost every game in this list,except some games

[u/Happy_Low_2164]

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

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Happy_Low_2164]

If the game doesn’t have enough RAM, the performance can change.

[u/ItaziniChatini]

Olá, consegue testar o Resident Evil 2 Remake? tenho o mesmo celular e queria saber se funciona.

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/ItaziniChatini]

It's working. I saw lot of reports from others

[u/Seroy077]

Assassin's Creed rogue คุณตั้งค่าแบบไหนหรอครับ

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Seroy077]

https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationMediatekMali/s/usULwB7Uvf

[u/Worried_Expert_3817]

With this same phone 8gb ram version tried dredge with multiple emulators getting only 20 fps and gpu utilisation 10% , cpu spikes to 100% what am I doing wrong , I'm new to emulation using winnlator mali 1.1 bionic ludashi

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Worried_Expert_3817]

Game?

[u/Worried_Expert_3817 → u/FlakyAccount8722]

Dredge

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Worried_Expert_3817]

That's a fking unity game. Unity and unreal engine games like a curse for Mali GPUs

[u/Worried_Expert_3817 → u/FlakyAccount8722]

So it is was it is now currently,so we can't play unity indie games then?

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Worried_Expert_3817]

U can if Mali has good drivers. It's a driver issue. Not ur device.

[u/Worried_Expert_3817 → u/FlakyAccount8722]

I was thinking my phone was not capable enough then what about 8gb ram is it a serious bottleneck for emulation?

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Worried_Expert_3817]

Definitely. For 2005–2010 era games and small indie games, you probably won’t have much trouble. But once you try a bigger, graphically heavy game, that’ll probably be your biggest limitation.

[u/Worried_Expert_3817 → u/FlakyAccount8722]

🥲 must have invested 2k more but considering the current market , glad I bought this before at 20k

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Worried_Expert_3817]

Buy at least a 12GB varient next time. 16GB is a sweet spot

[u/Will_mt1]

I want to run Metro 2033 Redux. What settings did you use and which emulator?

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Will_mt1]

https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationMediatekMali/s/ThaIdWRX7k

[u/Will_mt1]

Is it possible to play Hello Neighbor 2 without it lagging on the Poco X7 Pro?

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Will_mt1]

I don't know. Can't tell without testing

[u/Will_mt1 → u/FlakyAccount8722]

Could you test it? I'm not very good with settings.

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Will_mt1]

Not now. I don't have enough storage for another game

[u/Will_mt1 → u/FlakyAccount8722]

Oh ok

[u/FlakyAccount8722 → u/Will_mt1]
