[Q] Why do games perform so poorly? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've played Fruit Ninja THD, Modern Combat 3 and Grand Theft Auto 3 but the framerate is really poor. Id say itsmonly running at 15-20 FPS. Why is this? I love games and this tablet but if this is the case then I'll be quite disappointed.
(Rooted and Running the Galaxy Task ROM, btw)

same here! The framerate is very poor when playing gta 3

I haven't experienced any problems yet, played GTAIII & Fruit Ninja THD (and many more), perfectly smooth... You could try to reflash your rom, or maybe overclock..
ps running Galaxy Task 10

Other games seem perfectly fine actually, just the heavy games seem to have trouble running. It's a shame, I was looking forward to playing GTA3 with my PS3 controller at at least 25 FPS but oh well

Perhaps background processes push CPU usage over the edge for you. I don't have GTA 3 but fruit ninja is flawless on my tab.

reflash...should help. i'm on stock and both games work at maybe 40-50 FPS? anyway its really smooth. (i'm on stock btw)

Reflashed, fruit Ninja is fine now but GTA 3... Still pretty laggy, especially if rain falls. I already removes the audio folder so it runs flawlessly with no audio and while its not raining, but still I damn well miss audio. If I knew how to modify the gta3.set I'd just disable rain, lights, shadows, draw distance, etc... I'm more concerned with performance that graphics.

Angry birds lag

Hey guys
Do any of you experience lag/sluggish performance in games ? I recently got my Titan and I only had a chance to try angry birds and it wasn't at all smooth.
I disabled the SRS sound but it didn't help.
Any ideas ?
EDIT: Well,it's not laggy TBH,but not as smooth as my previous iPhone 4 which I think is because of the GPU.
I know the iPhone 4's GPU is stronger but shouldn't games like Angry birds run maybe a little more smoothly ?
Try closin some apps or redownloading the apl

I closed all apps and tested but it didn't change anything.
Will re-download it but I don't think that's going to make any changes either.
I just downloaded the game and played for about 10 min and it ran smooth here. I also tried hydro thunder which seems like a more gpu intensive game and no probs. can u download hydro thunder and see if you notice any problems?
Will do.
However, I tested NFS and it ran butter smooth.
Ok,tested Hydro and it worked perfectly.The graphics were just amazing !
Currently,Angry birds and Fruit ninja aren't that smooth,they aren't lagy but I tested Angry birds on a symbian device(Nokia C7) and it worked flawlessly.
And I remember that when I first played angry birds/fruit ninja on the iPad,they both performed pretty much like Titan(not so smooth) but after updates,they both worked great.
So I guess,it's software issue,thoughts ?
Ok so tried doodle jump too and it ran great. Maybe a tad slower than the iOS version but it was barely notable.
Did you try disabling the sound enhancer "fix"?

Yes I did

I also tried Plant vs zombies and it ran very smoothly
Aren't we just talking about the 30fps cap? I think that's all it is. They need to re-release at 60fps, though I don't know if first-gen devices can handle that though it's just a side scroller, not a big deal. And I'm sure 2nd gen devices can.
Maybe but how come iPad has the same issue at first ? Did it have 30 fps cap and then when they updated the game,they removed it ?

N64oid: Good performance on TP?

Just curious if anyone has been able to get N64oid playable on their Touchpad.
I'm running CM9 nightlies, perhaps I have some settings not set properly.
I also have chainfire which may or may not help. But it would be a riot if I could get this working.
Yes, I use n64oid on the Touchpad with not problems. It works great and has never malfunctioned. Just search and download off the internet. My favorite website to get roms it MOD EDIT (NO WAREZ LINKS ALLOWED) . If you need any other help just ask me because it works great for me.
Interesting, I have several ROMs, maybe they are just bad ones.
Would you be able to point me a download of a Rom that works smoothly for you?
Thanks!
Also, which ROM are you running on your TouchPad?
We can't give you any links to ROMs.
Just google them.
Try the basics, Mario 64, Mario Kart, etc.
I've played Majora's Mask, and it runs pretty smooth for an emulator. I overclocked it to 1500mhz and it runs smoothly. That's a higher than average n64 game, I think.
I'd invest in a wiimote/classic controller for heavy gaming if that's what you're into. Onscreen controls are often hard for n64 games.
I'm running the latest official nightly of CM9 (3/29)

I keep getting major slowdowns at 2 frames skipped but incredibly chopping gameplay at 3+ in majora's mask using 3/29 office dial @ 1.5ghz. Basically unplayable. Ocarina works well enough, though.

Tried a few on Gingerbread 3.5, video ran fine, sound a bit choppy, certainly playable though, used a wiimote.

Poor Performance 3D Games

hey guys..
Well i was wondering how is the 3d performance of games on your devices?
I am quite unsatisfied with the performance of S2..mainly in 3d gaming..
Though most of the games run flawlessly.. but the open world games lag quite a lot on s2..
I have seen considerable fps drops at few places in open world 3d games like :
1. Gangstar rio city
2. The dark knight rises
3. amazing spiderman
4. gta3
5 backstab etc..
So i would just like to know that the others are facing this problem too? or is it my phone only? or could be my rom/kernel combination reducing my 3d performance?
Currently i am on neatrom lite with siyah 3.2
Again i want to mention that the games usually work good with proper fps..but at many places like when lots of builidings and stuff are there...there is quite a big fps drop while rotating camera or moving ..
Please guys do mention about your 3d performances..i am quite FRUSTRATED AND ANNOYED at my phone's behaviour..such a hyped phone and not givin satisfactory performance..
thanks
The games in your list i tried is gangstar rio and gta 3. In gta3 it doesn't lag at all while in gangstar rio, it lags alot because as someone posted (forgot where it was) the game was not optimized for our device. Bdw, running stock XWLPO with siyah 3.5.2.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
well i am a bit bothered..even in case of mutant roadkill..the starting scene (where the car jumps out ) is also slightly slow..
Plus the open world games like dark knight, spiderman etc lag a lot.. :|

How would gaming be??

I want to get this phone and have stock ICS/Sense on it!
However, I want to be able to play games smoothly, and I want this phone to be compatible with lots of games.
With 1GB of RAM and 1.5 GHz Dual-Core processor, that shouldn't be an issue... right?!?!
I want games. Like, Angry Birds, Bad Piggies, Fun Run, Temple Run, Infectonator, Dead Trigger, Shadowgun, etc.
Can I do this? Or am I asking for too much!!
Thanks in advance, guys!!

Games for me run nice and smoothly - just keep in mind we have a very intense screen that will drain battery if too bright and on for too long.
Edit:
I have played nearly all of those games on NRG's Stock ICS ROM, and have experienced 0 lag while playing them.

Nice!! Thanks for the info.
Would you be okay with telling me which games in that list you haven't played??

Yeah you can play Angry Birds, Bad Piggies, Fun Run, Temple Run, Infectonator, Dead Trigger, Shadowgun without any lag .Also i have played GTA 3,Wild Blood,specially Modern Combat 4 without a single lag!Amaze is a monster for any work!Games or whatever!
Thanks for the input!
I'm having a hard time deciding between this and the One S.
Get the Nexus 4 don't even think about the Htc one s (I am assuming that you have a budget). It would cost you around 250 dollars for an amaze in extremely good condition with box on eBay, while you can get the Nexus 4 for 350 dollars (16gb) version from the play store which is in a league of its own and quite cheap with high development. Just think it would be more future proof for 100 more bucks (its unlocked as well). It's such a beautiful device too

Sorry for the hijack but I'd like to ask the gamers here one quick question if you prefer I can open a different thread but I'm running NRG rom and lately (after installing and playing Hill Climb Racing) my phone is acting out.
First started with lots of lag on the game (sometimes is impossible to play) and then I get the black screen that won't wake up (yes I do have the CPU @ 374 or whatever it is that it has to be at idle).
Any help???
Thanks,

Sounds like you are running out of ram, hence the lagging. Close some apps in the background and see if that helps. Secondly it can be the rom because when I was on cm my games were lagging (temple run was lagging bad) switched to sense 4.1 and it was back to being buttery smooth. Hope that helps
Thanks, I'll try closing apps (if I figure out how to do it )

NDS4DROID working games list on the Note 2

So i was trying out the NDS emulator nds4droid on my note 2, and tried Zelda Spirit Tracks on it. Of course gameplay was bad and so most of the game but then i wondered if there were other any playable games that could be loaded on the emulator with the Note 2.
What about a list of games that work correctly?
Ill start with my two cents
##NOT WORKING##
-Zelda Spirit Tracks (horrible frame rate,SLOW, bad sound)
You test juste this game ? ^^

Well, you'll be amazed to see that a lot of games are working. But only some of them are fast enough to be really played.
Here is what I've tried so far
-Mario Kart DS=>everything working, but definitly too slow to be really playable (maybe 24 fps?)
-Harvest Moon=> 2D game so not too slow, playable
-New super Mario=>everything working, but definitly too slow to be really playable (maybe 24 fps?)
-Nintendogs=>everything working, but definitly too slow to be really playable (maybe 30 fps?)
-Mario&Luigi partners in time=> fully playable, 60fps can be reached just swap the screens to play comfortably. Cheat codes working
-Dr Kawashima's Brain Training=> good speed, but using the S-pen for some of the trainings remains too slow + some gfx glitches
-Cocoto Racer=>=>everything working, but definitly too slow to be really playable (maybe 24 fps?)
-Simpsons game=> fully playable at full speed (60fps can be reached). Sadly the Simpsons' voices are laggy but that's not a real problem
-Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story: strange, it's really way slower than Partners in time, so for me, not really playable
I'm about half wat at Mario&Luigi partners in time now
I'm sure this is common knowledge, but Pokemon Black/White and Black2/White2 run while patched, but run incredibly slow as well. I think the highest in-game framerate i got was 21fps. I haven't tried, but I've heard that the Pokemon Platinum and below games work well enough to play.
Spirit Tracks does run quite choppy, however I will argue that it is playable with a moderate amount of frame-skip.
I got through the first dungeon before I got distracted by something else.
Im happy to report that Okamiden works like a charm!
