GTA San Andreas may be an older game, but the mobile version can still be surprisingly demanding when you push the graphics settings to the maximum. 👀

So I wanted to find the optimal settings for the Dimensity 6300 and see how smoothly the iQOO Z11 Lite could run it.

🎮 Gameplay Performance

GTA San Andreas Mobile is capped at a maximum of 30 FPS, so there's no 60 FPS mode to test here.

Interestingly, maxing out all the graphics settings doesn't necessarily give the best experience. The frame rate becomes unstable when everything is pushed to the highest settings.

After testing different combinations, I found the settings shown below in this thread to be the sweet spot for the Dimensity 6300.

With these settings, I was able to maintain a constant 30 FPS throughout gameplay.

✅ Stable 30 FPS gameplay

✅ Optimal graphics settings for Dimensity 6300

✅ Smooth gameplay during exploration and driving

✅ No major frame drops during normal gameplay

✅ Screen recording still maintains 25+ FPS

📊 Real FPS Data

The maximum frame rate supported by the game is 30 FPS, and with the optimized settings, the Z11 Lite can essentially stay locked at that limit.

Even with screen recording enabled, the game was able to maintain over 25 FPS, which shows that the Dimensity 6300 has enough headroom for this title when the graphics settings are properly tuned.

Maxing everything out isn't necessary — these optimized settings actually provide a more consistent experience.

⚙️ Optimal Settings

The settings shown in this test are specifically tuned for the Dimensity 6300.

You can push some options higher, but doing so comes at the cost of frame-rate stability.

For me, these settings provide the best balance between visual quality and a consistent 30 FPS experience.

🔋 Power Consumption

Power draw fluctuates depending on what's happening in-game, but it averaged around 3.6W during the gameplay test.

That's relatively modest for a game like GTA San Andreas, especially considering the phone is maintaining a consistent 30 FPS.

🌡️ Thermal Performance

There was no major temperature increase during the gameplay session.

The Dimensity 6300 isn't a high-power chipset, so this workload doesn't push the device particularly hard from a thermal perspective.

🏁 Final Thoughts

GTA San Andreas Mobile is a game the Dimensity 6300 can handle comfortably when the settings are configured properly.

You don't need to max out every option to get the best experience.

With the optimized settings shown here, the iQOO Z11 Lite delivers a consistent 30 FPS, and even with screen recording enabled, performance stays above 25 FPS.

For an entry-level chipset, the Dimensity 6300 handles GTA San Andreas easily at the optimal settings. 🎮🔥
