Rather oddly, PC flavors of nVidia GPUs are held back due to lack of OpenGL ES support - this is especially obvious running Android for x86 natively if you are dedicating a PC to running an Android emulator, seriously consider an AMD GPU. The Oracle VirtualBox-based emulators and BlueStacks (with suitable RAM) are all quite capable - however, it's a draw between BlueStacks and DuOS as far as video performance goes. The backstopping OS is Windwos 8.1 ProWMC in 圆4, which is recommended.) I've installed all my preferred Android games, and am evaluating Game of War and Total Domination: Reborn (both crossing over from iOS).

(The default is 800 MB used by DuOS on my 4 GB Q6600 test-bed I adjusted that upward to 1 GB. Still, unlike BlueStacks, both the DPI and RAM usage are adjustable. The quibble is that the emulator itself is only shareware (30-day limited functionality). That said, DuOS is the best-performing of the Android emulators out there to date further, unlike any of the others besides BlueStacks, it's actually aimed at end-users. Apart from that, the emulator comes with the ability to run multiple instances at once.

The isasue is that most of Android's native code is still biased toward ARM, and Google has no plans on changing that any time soon (despite a separate deal with Intel for Android tablet chips and SoCs). The issue (with all Android emulators) is that the better ones also require emulating ARM (that includes DuOS from the BIOS geniuses American Megatrends) - this is *despite* Android back to ICS being available to x86.
