Previous versions sometimes defaulted to 32-bit, causing crashes for large games. Version 5.9 ships with a 64-bit instance by default, allocating up to 4GB of RAM and 4 CPU cores natively.
This is the most common question. Here is a side-by-side breakdown:
| Setting | Recommendation | Reasoning | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | OpenGL + Software Rendering | OpenGL provides better texture compatibility in 90% of games. Only switch to DirectX for Call of Duty: Mobile . | | CPU Cores | 4 Cores (or half your total cores) | Allocating all cores may starve your host OS. 4 cores is the sweet spot for Android gaming. | | RAM | 2048 MB (2GB) to 4096 MB (4GB) | 2GB is sufficient for PUBG Mobile. 4GB reduces stuttering in Genshin Impact . | | ABI Setting | Auto | Leave as default. |
