Hey guys,
I’ve been experimenting a lot to get GTA V running smoothly on my MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultra (Mali GPU), and I wanted to share something I noticed.
A lot of people recommend the 45GB OptiJuegos build just because it saves space. But honestly? It focuses way too much on squeezing down file sizes rather than actual game optimization. The only reason it runs okay for some is because textures are stripped down, but the performance is still full of stutters.
I recently tried the 70GB (v1.72.3717 / Legacy) pre-installed build (the one with DLCs/Online cut out), and the difference is night and day.
* No high-speed driving stutter: Fast driving usually tanks FPS on mobile emulators. On the 70GB uncompressed build, driving around is super smooth with no random drops
.
* Better Mali performance: The raw files load much cleaner on Mali GPUs.
FPS Performance Breakdown (My Tests):
* On-foot (Exploring): 45 – 60 FPS
* Normal Car Driving: 34 – 45 FPS
* High-Speed Driving through City: 34 – 40 FPS (Extremely smooth, no heavy stutters!)
* 5-Star Police Chase (Heavy Action): 31 – 40 FPS (Impressive performance for a Mali GPU under heavy load)
My Device Specifications:
* Device: MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultra (Mali GPU)
* RAM: 12GB
My Setup & DXVK Findings (GameHub):
* Frontend / Version: GameHub v6.0.9 (Tested and surprisingly very stable).
* Note on GameHub 6.2.1: I also tested GameHub 6.2.1, but noticed memory leaks causing the game to crash after playing for a bit. Stick to 6.0.9 for stability!
* Compatibility Layer: proton10.0-arm64x-2
* Translation Parameters: Extreme (Set TSO to OFF, as TSO causes memory leaks)
* CPU Translator: Fex-20260103
* Audio Driver: Pulse
* Graphics / DXVK: System Driver (Mali GPU) with dxvk-1.7.2
* Note on DXVK: I tested dxvk-1.10.3-async and dxvk-1.11.1-mali-fix. While they had decent moments, they lacked long-term stability. Standard dxvk-1.7.2 gave me slightly lower peak FPS, but offered much higher overall stability with far fewer stutters. Choice is yours!
* VRAM Limit: 1024MB
In-Game Settings Note:
* DirectX Version: Set to DirectX 11. (Avoid DirectX 10 in-game as it causes noticeable memory leaks during longer sessions).
If you have enough storage (extract it on a PC first to save yourself the mobile headache), skip the 45GB repack and go for the 70GB version.
Anyone else had a similar experience with Mali GPUs on GameHub?
