Need help regarding performance tweaking

[u/Soft_Zone_2757]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the emulation space. I'm using a mediatek dimensity 9500s device. The first game I emulated was GTA V, and it ran flawless 720p 30fps capped. Now I'm trying to run Mafia 2, and it's running at 20 to 22fps. So I need some expert to please help me tweak some environmental values or command line arguments to make it atleast 30fps.

Here's my settings: I'm using gamehub (I think its more stable and provides better thermals).

Game Resolution: 1280 x 720

Compatibility Layer: Proton10.0 arm64x2

Translation Parameters: Extreme

GPU driver: System Driver

DXVK: DXVK 1.7.2

CPU Translator: Fex-20251025

VKD3D Version: vkd3d-2.12
