Some optimization guides incorrectly suggest turning on "Force 4x MSAA" in Android's developer settings. For a budget GPU like the Adreno 610, this forces high-resolution anti-aliasing that drastically overworks the hardware, causing severe thermal throttling and driver crashes. Ensure this setting is turned off.

| Test | Stock Driver (V14) | Updated Driver (V23 + Turnip Vulkan) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 645 | 712 (+10.4%) | | GFXBench T-Rex (offscreen) | 48 fps | 53 fps (+10.4%) | | Genshin Impact (Low, 30fps lock) | Drops to 24fps | Drops to 28fps (smoother frametime) | | Yuzu (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe) | 15 fps (broken textures) | 25-30 fps (playable) |

As of mid-2026, many older Adreno 610 devices are running outdated drivers provided by manufacturers. Updating via third-party community drivers (like Turnip or custom Qualcomm builds) can provide several benefits:
