So let's talk about gaming and resolution. I recently tried Shadowgun Legends on my mate 10, it was a nice game with great graphics. In the settings you can adjust Graphics and FPS. When I set Ultra High Graphics with 60 FPS, the fps kinda drops alot especially when there are alot of ppl/enemies or explosion (kinda laggy to me). on S9 it's buttery smooth (yeah, they have higher cpu clock speed and better GPU than our mate 10). my only solution is to go lower resolution (HD+ instead of FHD+), then the game is smooth 60 fps.
so I have 3 questions here:
1) can we set certain apps/games to run at what resolution? we have smart resolution, but it doesn't run my game on HD+.. it still runs on FHD+. I kinda hate the idea of changing the resolution manually each time I want to play the game. Was thinking of sticking to HD+ all the time, but the drop in quality of the display is noticeable to me. How about you, Do u feel significant difference between HD+ and FHD+?
2) does gaming using lower resolution consumes much less battery?
3) does graphic settings affect battery consumption?

Does this have any other benefits beyond benchmark
I've had some interesting results enabling this.
I havent run any benchmarks, but running GTA Vice City with this enabled does make for smoother gameplay, but also gives minor graphical tearing .
As far as I know, our screens are only 60hz. Anything above 60fps is almost pointless and would cause more harm than not. Yes, you may see smoother gameplay, but you're overworking the GPU for a slight boost and visual problems.
I'm not a developer or anything of the sort from Android but I do a LOT of tinkering and programming with computers so I expect the same results since smart phones are Pretty much the same.

I would wager this is harmful.... As the user above me pointed out they're no gains to be had in terms of usage.
Outside of that it's one thing to go past 60 fps on a desktop or even laptop designed to handle more intense graphics but, there is no exhaust in your phone which works twice as hard for no real reason.
The excess heat just increases your chances of nasty things happening.. And I mean nasty you need a new phone before 2 years type things.

Warning heeded... I don't game though I just like to tweak. I never use intense graphics for long stretches and it makes a difference in short bursts when I'm browsing video heavy sites or watching short videos (placebo, maybe). I'm also a benchmark whore (no shame). I expect to not make two years anyway. .. G2 is sweet and who knows what will be here by next summer, lol. Thanks though.

You may be thinking refresh rate... that's the screen measurement. I've never seen one for a phone. Fps is video source measure, chip. I'm definitely no techy, but would it cause that much more heat... it's not overclocking (although I am) just running at higher speeds longer, maybe. No extra heat yet, mhl for movies most intense thing I've done since tweak though.

Ok, time to clear some stuff up. Unless specifically stated in a lcd display's specifications, and it was made in the last few years, it only supports up to a 60hz refresh rate. No matter what you do, you can't make it refresh faster. You'll just get screen tearing and your GPU will consume more electricity and generate more heat. This isn't a cathode ray tube display with adjustable refresh rate.

Frame rate/Refresh rate the same?
I was just wondering if frame rate and refresh rate are both the same. For example in a PC if the screen's refresh rate is , say 60 Hz. Won't it be able to display anything with frame rates greater than 60? If so, I beleive it applies to the mobiles too. Can someone clear up this mystery for me with some citations?
Thanks

Correct and as Death said, it'll cause screen tearing on mobile devices. 60fps matches the 60hz of our screens. I'm not too familiar with how this works on Android, but if you could raise the fps to about 65 then you'd notice a boost in performance when it comes to games. 60 is ideal for gaming but with the cap at 60 it tends to dip below frequently and causes slight lag. 65 would make everything stay nice and smooth and shouldn't give you any graphical errors as well as not burning battery life.

mmm.. i'm sorry but i think that you're confusing fps caps with vertical synch, fps caps give almost no fps drops because it only throw away every frame superior to the cap, but with vsync caps it to 60fps but it synchronize it with the lcd hz, fps caps can cause tearing even at same framerate than lcd hz but vsync doesn't

A fps cap does not discard frames. It will not render the extra frames. The GPU will fills it's clocks with NOP instructions until it needs to render the next frame.
Wouldn't this be useful if someone has attached his smartphone to External display , which supports displays with higher refresh rates .:good:
I'm curious if there are any demos/games/apps out there that really push the GPU and will show what the Nexus 9 is capable of, from a graphics standpoint. Suggestions?
Google Earth is super impressive!
Dead Trigger 2 . allowed ultra high game setting. ( rain and puddle effects in the first scenes were impressive ) On my G Pad it sets Medium and only allows High setting . No rain effects , not to mention the difference in sound quality.
Republique is a pretty impressive game and it's optimized for tegra.
Is it possible to port this amazing game tuner app to our device?
How useful it is? according to my research...
Game Tuner is a truly useful piece of software? From Samsung? Color me surprised, too, but the company's new Game Tuner app is nothing short of incredibly handy for mobile gamers. As you may well know, playing visually-intensive games on your smartphone can demolish the battery fairly quickly. While most such games render at 1080p even on 2K displays like Samsung's, such resolutions can be big draws on both your remaining juice and your device's processor, causing throttling (and thus slowdowns) and excessive power drain. Samsung's new app lets you have a say in just how graphically hungry those games will be, allowing you to adjust maximum frame rate and resolution scaling.
For example, Hearthstone for Android on a Galaxy S6 edge+ renders at, near as I can tell, 1080p natively. With Samsung's Game Tuner app, you can turn that up to a full 1440p (aka 2K and probably not a great idea!), or all the way down to around 480p. The difference is very real. The frame rate can be adjusted from 15 to 60FPS.

Actually our device is running on 1080p which is FHD ... by this app we can adjust the quality of the game and adjust the framerate for more smoother experience ...

we have an hd screen and you are saying FHD ???how is that.games run on 720p not 1080p on our devices.so dont say things like that
FHD = 1080p
HD = 720p
The redmi 3/pro is a 720p screen resolution. I think the framerate adjustment might be helpful depending on games that arent necessary to have high end graphics but still dont run as well as they could

Hey guys,
I own a Razer Phone 1 and thought upgrading to ROG was a no brainer, faster chipset and oled panel (though 90hz).
My ROG phone is so choppy and laggy compared to my RP1, to the stage I thought my phone was faulty. The games I tried testing were guns of boom, nba 2k, where reaction times and ability to control matters to some degree. I troubleshooted a bit and made sure X mode was on, cleared all the ram, 90hz setting was selected, and I turned on the gaming information and was averaing 50fps which is great for a phone! So why was it so choppy and laggy? I ran the same games on RP1 and reduced the screen to 90hz and ran the same games. The RP1 was perfect, all the choppy frames and lag were gone. So if both ROG and RP1 were running 90hz, and ROG should be having higher frame rates (845 vs 835), then is it because of ROG's oled panel?
Is there anyone else having this problem?
I'll try to upload a video to show the problem? It's a bit discouraging that the latest gaming phone performs worse in the real-world (not benchmark) than an older generation product.

I love the phone but i do think it's over hyped. Coming from HTC U11+ (835 vs 845 snapdragon) i don't think the differences are big in terms of processor power. My guess the software experience of the phone isn't polished yet to it's potential that's why i believe the next few updates will make the experience more smooth and how it should be.
One disclaimer i think the CN Rom is worse in performance in comparison with a WW Rom (But no real actual proof just a hypothesis) because you will get some games or apps stopping because of missing Google play services or some google apps.
It's a huge difference in person but still noticeable after recording it and uploading it to youtube.

I also upgraded from Razer Phone to RoG Phone, and I'm loving it. All the games I play are smooth, with colors so much brighter, and vibrant. So happy to have THE Headphone jack back.

Thanks Zicott, in that case my phone is very likely defective. I'll see if I can get it repaired .
Tried out guns of boom and it played well on mine
Can anyone confirm at which graphics i can play cod mobile on mi a3.
Its snapdragon 665 and i can't play cod mobile at medium graphics on my mi a3.
Can't we play cod mobile on medium graphics on snapdragon 665? Isn't it that powerful?
Sometimes game starts well but after 10 min game just become unplayable....
Is it the same for you guys???
Medium graphics high frame rate works perfect for me. Maybe you have an app in the background which is eating your resources.
I can play the game on high graphics and medium frame rate also but the former has better results

I have also used some cleaner softwares but no improvement.
Game starts well but after some time framedrops all the way down.
I am thinking about resetting the device.
