What is the best Android emulator out there? I've had a few recommendations but I've not tried any of them. I will mainly be running games.

 

 

Andy: http://www.andyroid.net/ (my laptop is a touchscreen: when you hold down on touchscreen, it pauses game)

BlueStacks: http://www.bluestacks.com/ (provides good keyboard support, asks me to download recommended games)

Gaming rig:

i5-4670k, H100i, MSI Z97 SLI, Vengeance DDR3-1600 2*4GB, 840 EVO 250GB, Barracuda 1TB, GTX 780 Ti, 450D, CX750, VG248QE

Workstation:

Ok I tried a few of these over the last hour and the best one seems to be bluestacks. It's the smoothest though the controls for games like dead trigger are awful. Greymotion chuggs and is janky and andy refused to launch for me.

For Genymotion, open VirtualBox then increase its RAM, enable all cores, 3D acceleration and VRAM.

I did, no dice.
