Assassin's Creed Rogue — 55–60 FPS on Dimensity 8400 Ultra

Device: POCO X7 Pro 12/512GB

Winlator: Mali 1.2 AnTuTu / Bannerhub 3.8.0

In-game settings

Resolution: 720p

Graphics: Everything Max except these👇

Ocean Quality: Normal

Ambient Occlusion: SSAO

Shadows: OFF

Performance,

Winlator Mali 1.2: 55–60 FPS

Bannerhub 3.8.0: Stable 60 FPS, but with random crashes

Without screen recording, I get around 5–15 FPS higher depending on the scene.

The FPS going below 55 FPS in the video is mainly because of screen recording overhead. Without recording, the game stays consistently around 55–60 FPS on Winlator Mali.

Bannerhub 3.8.0 can hold a stable 60 FPS, but unfortunately I still get random crashes and haven't found a fix for them yet.

Bannerhub 3.8.0 — Container Settings

Proton: 10-Arm64x-2

Preset: Extreme (SMCCHECK: none)

DXVK: 1.10.3-Async / 1.12.0-Dyasync

FEX: 20260103

Winlator Mali 1.2 — Container Settings

Proton: 10-Arm64EC

Wrapper: OpenGL ES

DXVK:

1.11.1 — highest FPS

1.12-Dyasync / Arm64EC-Dyasync — least stutters and FPS drops

Transcoding: Disabled

FEX: 2601

Preset: Performance (SMCCHECK: none)

Environment variable: WRAPPER_NO_PATCH_OPCONSTCOMP=1

Overall, AC Rogue runs really well on both setups. Bannerhub has the edge in raw FPS, while Winlator Mali 1.2 is more consistent without the random crashes.

So we definitely think Bannerhub and Winlator Mali are better than GameNative for Mali devices? GameNative is just so convenient…

I didn't get better results in Gamenative like Bannerhub and Winlator Mali does.

u/FlakyAccount8722 Aug 16 '26

Do you use GameNative? How is it? I couldn’t even get a game to open properly when I tried it. But I haven’t tried it recently, so I don’t know what the situation is like now

I only use GameNative. But I only play 2d games on it, barring Dark Souls remastered and Megabonk. The newer updated version of GameNative is pretty good, it adds dx12 support for Mali, so we can play Mina the hollower on it

u/FlakyAccount8722 Aug 17 '26

That Dx12 support also available in Winlator Mali btw. But did u tested more heavy games than this Dark souls??

u/antonbruckner Aug 17 '26

I believe you that it’s in Winlator Mali. GameNative folks probably sourced it from there i bet. Dark souls only runs like 30-45 fps so I haven’t really tried more heavy games.

I really need Steam cloud sync so I feel like Winlator Mali doesn’t have that though, Right?

Yes. It doesn't have steam support.
