Hello
My wife wanted to try a lower budget touch phone, so i bought her a Samsung Galaxy Spica (Lite).
I wanted to test the performance, so i loaded UAE for android (Amiga emulator). It ran great with sound enabled. On my Htc hero it runs good as long as i don't touch, the touch screen. When i do it's slows down, alot.
I tested it with some other emulators and it seems like it runs them better than the Hero.
But when i tried a 3d game called Waveblazer the Samsung was not doing well, the games was choppy, that it was unplayable. But the Hero was playing it fine.
I was wondering if the Hero has better 3d Hardware, since it was performing better. I just thought the samsung would be doing better Since it shares the processor of the Omnia 2, Samsung 800MHz S3C6410 and the Hero using the 528 MHz qalcomm msm 7200a.
I also tried the Raging thunder 2 lite on my Hero and it was doing well, even though it was stated, that it was only for highend devices.
whats up with that? is it just the ****ty coding of the game? or is it our qHD screen? you would think the adreno 220 and dual core processor would run this game much better than the evo but at this point, this game is barley playable.
It's the game.
Yeah, im pretty sure that its the game and not the phone. The specs are good enough to handle that game no problem
The specs more then cover it, its probably just not optimized as well for such a new phone.
I remember when the first dual core processors came out and some apps ran like crap for awhile until they were updated to take advantage of the new tech.
I've seen a lot of threads discussing how much of a game-changer the Adreno 220 should be, and I've seen plenty of videos of benchmarks, but outside of Samurai II: Vengeance, I haven't seen any games that really "wow" me with their graphics.
I know we're on Android, and our market is fragmented to hell thanks to all of the hardware differences.
I'm coming from an HTC Evo 4G, which had fairly abysmal GPU performance.
Games I've tried so far:
Samurai II - Vengeance (awesome to see this kind of graphic quality AND framerate)
Dungeon Defenders: FW Deluxe (not my kind of game, but runs much better than on OG Evo)
Pocket Legends, which really isn't impressive
Any suggestions? I hate to give a thumbs-up to something in the iOS camp, but I really was impressed with Infinity Blade on my friend's iPhone4 and iPad2.
EDIT: I should clarify that I'm hoping to find something that looks better than a first-generation 3D Nintendo DS game, which the majority of Gameloft games look like.

If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

Look up Chainfire3D, lets you run Tegra 2 games on your phone and the processor is more than capable of running it well!
Simple answer is that NO games take advantage of the Adreno 220 GPU. You can download Chainfire 3D for free from the marketplace, it's basically a video driver that enables you to play Tegra 2 exclusive games. Actually, this hardly even takes advantage at all of our hardware. You can actually run just about all of the Tegra exclusive games on the og Evo. Simple answer is that no current games take advantage of it. If you look at the iPhone 4, it has a powervr sgx535, which is about the equivalent of an Adreno 205, you can kind of get an idea how much faster the Adreno 220 is, don't forget we have a higher clock speed and an extra core. The stupid thing is though, is that technology is moving so fast, we are going to have quad-cores in our phones before apps and games take advantage of dual-core devices.

Just like the ps3 hasn't been bush to its limits, man I remeber the first ps2 games how crappy the look and at the end they were looking so sweet (4-5 years later)
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
The biggest issue is that we still don't have much to show off the OG Evo's Adreno. We don't have a "killer app" 3d game. Also, the whole Tegra thing ticks me off. I know nVidia is channeling money for exclusive games/features and ChainFire3D still has issues with some games (I have issues with GoF2 either having disappearing textures or FCs).
Qualcomm really needs to take some pride in the Adreno and start funding some developers.
I installed Chainfire, now how do I get access to tegra 2 games. I can't install tegra zone.
In ChainFire, choose "Fix Market", you won't be able to install Tegra Zone but you will be able to find THD games if you search by name.
i did the build. prop to play order and chaos and it allow me to install tegra zone on my evo 3d

what line/s did you add or edit?
How the hell did you get Dungeon Defenders working on your device? Keeps closing on me!
on this link you can find the instructions some one else posted on how to change to build.prop which allows for order and chaos to play and to instal the tegra zone app from the market. enjoy

ignore i posted in wrong place by mistake
Just thanked a few of you for your responses. I wanted to add a couple of things for clarification however (especially to any future readers). First off, the free version of Chainfire 3D ain't gonna do it. Second, after editing build.prop and installing Chainfire 3D, you have to install the Nvidia driver (like explained in the tutorial link in an earlier post). THEN, (after possibly a few re-boots as described in the tutorial) you have to download whatever nvidia game you want. Now my experience was that when I launched the game by tapping on the icon, it didn't look right or it would force close. I actually had to open Chainfire 3D, then play with the settings for each app and launch them from within Chainfire.
Now I've got Galaxy on Fire 2 running pretty well. I love a good hack!
Does any one have any thoughts on this issue?
Which one is faster? Tegra 2 dual core or snap dragon dual core?
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4054/first-look-viewsonic-gtablet-and-tegra-2-performance-preview/2
I dont know about speed, they seem comparable in those tests at least. But as an owner of both, if they get Android working right on the Touchpad, I will gladly move on. The screen on the G-Tab is just sooooo bad and the Touchpad is sooooo nice.
I've often wondered about these types of questions. It's like watching Top Gear, and a car is .01 seconds faster than another and they start singing it's praises...in practical use, does it really much matter?
I remember when PCs were getting fractionally faster and faster. Sure a PC from 1994 is going to seem SLOOOW compared to the best availabel now, but in 2003, would an increase in megahertz really be all that different? To the trained eye, maybe, but to the guy making spreadsheets all day, probably not.
Besides, this question will be moot when the Tegra 3 is released...lol
Do you want to know if it's faster running webOS, or faster running Android 2.2, 2.3, or 3.x? Each tablet is capable of running certain OSs with a certain degree of proficiency.
I trying my best to my hands on a touchpad too.
just curious as to why some tablets have the snap dragon and some have the tegra 2
The snapdragon has a more powerful gpu but less powerful smartphone oriented CPU. The scores for the HTC sensation tell the story since it uses the same SoC+radio. at the retail price the touchpad was a horrific substandard tablet. At 99$ not so much. The snapdragon in that tablet is also capable of clocking the cores independent of each other which allegedlysaves power.

I am considering getting the tab s6 as a replacement for my tab s3 my primary use for my s3 used to be gaming but now the device struggles to run most games due to the older quad cor core snapdragon 820 chip so I know the tab s6 will be an upgrade.
However my main game is pubg mobile just wanted to know how the tablet proformes before I buy the 8gb ram version.
Does it run smoothly or stutter and what graphics setting can it run at smoothly also interested about how hot the device gets while gaming in general ?
I have the 8GB version. PUBG is working very well for me - graphics render quickly (high/high). I occasionally got a slight bit of lag when aiming down sight on HDR settings (although that was possibly my Internet connection).
As far as heat goes, it does get warm but not hot - nothing to be concerned about.
Fortnite also runs well (epic - 30FPS max on settings, high - 60FPS) it did drop to around 40 sometimes when jumping from the bus which is to be expected due to the graphics it is rendering at that point.
I've yet to find a game that it struggles with.
Hope this helps
Does that kind of gameplay help :
?
(I know next to nothing about PUBG, sorry if it's irrelevant)
