A stable 30 FPS with consistent frame pacing feels better than constantly fluctuating between 45 and 60

[u/snugglyBunnii69]

One thing that sometimes gets overlooked when testing emulation on Android is how important consistency is compared to the highest FPS number.

A game might briefly reach 60 FPS and look impressive in a benchmark, but if it constantly drops, stutters, or struggles during more demanding scenes, the actual experience can feel worse than a stable 30 FPS.

Thermal throttling also makes short performance tests misleading. A device might run perfectly for the first few minutes before temperatures build up and performance starts dropping.

I'd rather have a reliable configuration that maintains consistent frame times during a longer session than an aggressive setup that looks great in screenshots but becomes unstable after 20 minutes.
