December 8, 2025Dec 8 Have you guys ever try FEX-emu instead of box64? I heard FEX is 10%~20% faster than box64

It is optimised for snapdragon while box64 is more optimised for the lower-end SBC ARM-SOC. Here a video I once made about it. Things have changed a lot, fex-emu has matured at lot in this time. I didn't know it was build for steam back then so didn't test that. Also have no steam games that would run.

I heard FEX is 10%~20% faster than box64 I am using hangover-10.18, which is Fex-Emu 2510. https://github.com/AndreRH/hangover/releases/tag/hangover-10.18 I didn't benchmark. But I think rn, the main bottleneck is the GPU (PanVk driver is now only ~60% performance of the libMali driver).

Sorry I am an amateur on rk3588. If libMali have better performance. But why most of you are using PanVk? 2 hours ago, KhanhDTP said: Steam games are working now, I tested some games a week ago.

December 8, 2025Dec 8 Author 1 hour ago, 晓飞丁 said: If libMali have better performance. But why most of you are using PanVk? Because the compatibility, I can't get the libMali driver to work with 32bit games (DXVK specifically). Also, although 64bit games work with the libMali, most of the games I have tested are black screen, or missing textures. 1 hour ago, 晓飞丁 said: I found a way to shrink the memory occupation by not starting the steamclientwebhelp.

A more performant GLES may give a more performant desktop, but won't make most games working. Since the community have been doing excellent work bringing rk3588 to mainline, it makes no sense to stick to a 5.x vendor kernel for a closed-source library with flaws, at least in my use case. 5 hours ago, 晓飞丁 said: It's wierd that in native Windows environment. steamwebhelper will only cost about 500MB memroy The FEX's developer has explained the reason why memory usage is high under arm64, and I think box64 may also have similar problems.
