VITA What are some of the most stable in framerate PS Vita 3D action games?

Hi, it's been a while.
My PS Vita has been really good to me, and I love playing the PSP and PS1 games on it as well as some of the homebrew that was made for the Vita...but when it comes to the main PS Vita games, I have a few favorites (mostly referring to 3D games) and that all come down to base performance (without CPU/GPU overclocking). I do like games like Minecraft and Dragon's Crown, I even finished Killzone: Mercernary's single player campaign but I had another game with it while I was slowly checking out the main PS Vita games: Ragnarok Odyssey ACE that was simpler in looks compared to Killzone but ran at a stabler 30 fps by base.
It reminded me of games on the 3DS, but it also made me look about more of the Vita's library though since I had IRL things to do, I looked upon YouTube.
There were games in the action kind of genre that made want to look into them but with the videos that had a fps indicator or had irregularly bright environments with constant slowdown just painted a bad picture in my mind that either those games were poorly optimized or that the Vita was a Windows 7 era CPU trying its best to run some mid to late 2000s games needing a GPU to relieve some heavy strain.
I have heard that the PS Vita had some impressive tech for 2012 and Killzone: Mercernary utilized it for its visuals though I feel that it didn't balance visuals with performance very well like some of the 3DS's games or even a homebrew game called "Purified" which I feel like is the more impressive shooter for the Vita (though, I don't care for 60 fps for my portable games), I still had a good time with Killzone nonetheless.
I still like to hear those who looked about the Vita's library way more than me because the Vita to me is kind-of the last of its kind: powerful and is pocket-portable, sure, we got more powerful devices (most especially our present-day smartphones but what phone comes with physical buttons without hardware add-ons?)

You said like the psv is always a weak device but it was damn better than phones in 2010，your comparison to present day smartphone is not fair. I remember only until 2015 the psp emulation is good enough to be playable but back then the minimum required 6gb phones is considered mid-high range. 3ds is even lower res，but it was balanced with lower resolution screen with scanlines，but it‘s surely no stronger than vita. Try playing any full 3d psone games using homebrew on 3ds，they struggle to but psvita does it like champ.

The psv was only outclassed when devs started to port ps4 games to them. If the game is multiplat and and at the same time there was ps4 version，most likely it wont run well.

Good action games on vita∶
Uncharted
Gravity Rush
Senran Kagura
Soul Sacrifice
Phantasy Star Nova
Samurai / Dynasty Warriors
Freedom Wars
Bullet Girls （1+2, not Phantasia）

The psv is infamous for being not supported by Sony, but that was only the western side. If you dig into japanese side there are way more games that didnt make it.

I have to disagree. When Vita was launched, mid to high end phones in 2011-2012, when Vita was launched, had CPU's that were aeons faster than the Vita's CPU, although Vita had one of the most powerful GPU's at that time. But just one year later it was literaly obliterated by high end phones in every single aspect.

As 3DS has a weak CPU, PS1 emulation is not a good experience, but if you use the New 3DS most of the games run perfectly. The experience is obviously superior in Vita, but it's something.

Before PS4, there were PS3/Vita games and it started to struggle really bad. I remember games like Yoru no nai Kuni. It was simply unplayable due to the lag, like the second one on Switch. Luckily, portable consoles can be "overclocked" and most of those problems are mitigated. That's the only way to go for me, and in this case with Vita, everyone should do it as it is very easy.

Thanks for brightening a light upon me, though, I wasn't suggesting that the Vita was always a weak device, it's just the games that I saw which really weren't great performance wise being 3D action titles.
Though, I never thought that some of the games on the Vita were ports from PS4. Probably those that were made on PS4 first or in mind were hugely suffered since it was a massive monster for its time.
Edit: I'm probably not going recover from devaluing the PS Vita, aren't I?
And sorry about the phone talk too, it's just that I really would like to have a device that can feel like the Vita: have buttons, good specs for games from the 2000s (emulation or native), and can play music while I play, the Vita to me is that good to me.
