Hey everyone!

Ever since the Yuzu dropped on Android, I've been running daily tests on it using each GitHub build. Each version churns out different max FPS in-game. From my current testing (latest build is 177), the best build for the highest in-game FPS is Build 171.

Testing on my two trusty phones:

• Motorola Edge 20 Pro with Snapdragon 870

• Motorola Edge 30 Fusion with Snapdragon 888+

It's worth noting that different drivers yield varying FPS results. The latest driver isn't always the greatest. For Adreno 6xx (Snapdragon 888+ and below), the go-to is Freedreno Turnip Vulkan Driver v23.2.0 - (5/5/23) - FIXED—it serves up minimal graphic glitches. Sure, you can grab the latest driver from K11MCH1, but from my tests, it brings some in-game graphic glitches, though some games eke out 1-2 FPS better performance. Feel free to switch between the two drivers for a performance check. Performance may vary for Adreno 7xx (Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and up).

I've run tests on a handful of games, giving each about 5 minutes:

• Mario Kart 8 (29-53fps)

• Zelda BOTW (steady 25-30fps - most area)

• Tales of Vesperia (60fps while fighting - dips to 45fps when cutscene)

• Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition (steady 30fps)

• Super Mario Odyssey (60fps mostly - dips to 25fps on cutscene)

• Bayonetta 2 (30fps mostly)

• Red Dead Redemption (15fps mostly)

• Batman: Arkham Knight (14fps mostly)

Stick to default settings; they're optimal. Notable changes:

• Accuracy levels: High (if a game crashes at the same point)

• V-sync: Immediate (off) or FIFO (Relaxed)

• Use asynchronous shaders: Enabled (mostly negligible changes)

• Audio output engine: Cubeb (Tales of Vesperia had distorted audio; switching to cubeb fixed it)

For devs if you guys reading this, some games are regressing with each newer builds, like Mario Kart 8 struggling to maintain 30fps compared to 45fps in build 83 (tested point - 321 countdown at the start of the race). Maybe because it still running JIT unable to run NCE. No pressure, just a heads-up.

I will update again in the future if theres any noticeable improvement!

Just a heads up, performance may vary since all phones are built different. Cheers!

Edit - forget to include some FPS
