I wonder what games you tested? have you tried harry potter gamecube game? or sonic heroes?
According to the discussion on buffer_storage on mali forum, degasus started on march, mali developer said it was implemented in the driver month ago so february drivers. Since there are no february drivers but 23 of january, i suppose these contain support for extension. And that would be r10 version. Right now mate 9 has r8, hikey960 devboard https://developer.arm.com/products/software/mali-drivers/user-space has r9. Who knows when r10 will be implemented and what devices will get it.
Samsung on the other hand have r9 already on galaxy 8 s/s+ models but only r3 on note. Its like note is lower priority, or we have not enough data.
Back to samsung, looks like s8+ would play MK DD very well 60 fps. There are not many videos with note 8. There is always vulkan to try and will be better.
I can strart games into intro and menus on vulkan, but games stops with black screen when try to go ingame. All i tested. Olny mmario kart wii shows error "WARNING failed to re-configure swap chain images, this is fatal (for now)", wonder if devs can do something with it? Looks like slightly better drivers on samsung allow playing with vulkan.
