Edit:: Solved
Hi guys, I am getting some horrible benchmarking scores using Antutu and Quadrant. I noticed that the scores on Quadrant are much lower when I have my SDcard inserted but generally low. The tablet doesn't feel slow but of course I don't know how it should feel. I do know its faster than my old galaxy tab 8.9.
The first Quadrant score is with my SDcard inserted, its a 64GB UHS-1 Sandisk
The second quadrant score is with the card out definitely an improvement. Both tests were run on performance mode.
The antutu score was pretty much between 5k and 7k shouldn't I be around 12k?.
I have tried many many cold boots. Anyone have any ideas or did I get stuck with a lemon? I honestly didn't run any benchmarks before installing today's update. Please help!!!
EDIT: : Solved - Apparently enabling force 2d gpu rendering in dev options causes a HUGE hit on system performance outside of 3d applications.

I'm getting around 4500 in quadrant, 12k in antutu
thanks for responding. Yea, I just played a level in dead trigger, it ran pretty good. There wasn't any noticeable lag. After wards my tablet was kinda warm around 90F on the battery. I immedately ran Quadrant and my SDcards were in. I got a score of 2200

Yea, am doing that now
So, I was backing up files when I thought to try something. I had Force 2D GPU rendering turned on under developer's options because it helped with netflix rendering as it was crawling along. I turned force gpu rendering off and ran the tests again. This time I got an antutu score I could actually be proud of And hopefully I won't have to do a wipe. If you have a second, would you be able to test this?

I got a Antutu score of 13k. Yup... I'm a proud owner ....
yes scores are terrible with that option on
ya. i just double checked too. It seems like that option gives a huge hit on system performance with no real gain. Netflix is running a little slower with it off but its not worth the hit on performance. Thanks for the help.

Force rendering through GPU instead of CPU in older apps that don't have this function implemented.

To those rooted users, are you overclocking, undervolting? What app / method are you using? How is it working for you in terms of stability and battery life?
I just installed EZOverClock, set at Power Save - 1ghz. This is an overclock app for the Prime that works on our device as well. If you are interested in checking this out, the apk can be found here:

I am hoping for some solid battery savings without compromising performance on games such as MC3.
I find it hard to believe that I am the only one overclocking this device?

I'm underclocking using system tuner pro, setting max cpu at 880mhz when not playing games. As for undervolting afaik is not possible yet, at least in the stock rom.

Im overclocking it to 1.4 Ghz 100% of the time using antutu cpu master.
I havnt experienced any significant battery droppage and it seems to help load some of my large games faster. overall I like having it OC'd.

I have run the games at 880mhz and they run pretty much the same, but when my pad is not connected to a power outlet I set it at 1.1ghz to run all the high end games (THD, etc.). If I have it connected I just max it at 1.5ghz
I don't use ezoverclock since it won't let me go lower than 1ghz and as far as I remember ezoverclock didn't have governors, STP lets me change governors (I'm always set at interactive).

Yes, you need root.
I only use OC for Testing, Benchmarks and 3D Games.
But must say when I run it on 1500Mhz and Performance for more than 45 Minutes the Pad gets really warm.
Im at 1.2ghz right now, might underclock some more.

I did some testing and the kernel does not overclock to 1.5ghz its a miss read on the chip. 1.2ghz and 1.5ghz score the same on quadrant and antutu benchmark do this urself and see.

I can confirm this, with the stock kernel even though I can set the CPU to 1.5 even when I set it to the "performance" setting (the CPU options one, not the Asus setting) I've never seen it go past 1.1 Ghz. I think if we want higher OC's we'll have to wait for custom kernel's. We'll probably lose the 3 performance modes that are built-in from ASUS but honestly, anyone who's rooting and OC'ing shouldn't be using options that basic anyways.

Yes but the options are just underclocking
Powersave- 1ghz
Balanced-1.1ghz
Performance-1.2ghz
The battery consumption difference between powersave and performance is minimal been testing this myself.. but to be honest after buildprop tweak an overclockis not needed everything runs at optimal performance. Only thing i see overclocking for right now is show off high numbers.

Hey,
I used to have 12000 score in Antutu, but I've tested the device today it gave me only 6800-7700 after several testing !!!! What is wrong ?
Does any one had the same problem ??? I'm running the stock rom

One question did you by chance enable the force 2D rendering option under the developers section in settings? Turning that on will cause scores to be lower.
Hi, I am getting extremely low quadrant score. I am on stock rom but I think it wont affect score that much. So is this only my problem ?
(extremely low for what it should be, like 3500+ I think )
Edit: Antutu score is 7945
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
That's quite low. I'm running stock rom and getting 4592 without any tweaks.
I guess you could try stopping all running apps with something like the ASUS task manager, then give it another go.
Also turning off Force GPU Rendering in Developer Options helped a lot for the score as well.

And make sure you run it in performance mode (this is "duh" but you never know).
Yeah I killed all apps and turned off 2d forcing thing and now it is 4350, pretty close to your's. thank you guys

Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
My tablet is still locked so I don't have experience regarding frequencies and voltages with it. But my phone reboots in CPU intensive tasks when I lower the voltages too much (as with PCs). Since every CPU is unique you need to find the right combination for you. Be careful not to fry it.
Ok so I'm a bit new to the community in terms of tablet hardware and wanted to understand the concept of overclocking now from what I've heard the Asus tf300t has the capability to be increased to 1.5ghz it's stock is 1.3 I believe so my question is:
what are the basic benefits of overclocking.
How do you go about doing it? (app, or what not)
What damages can be done if done incorrectly. (boot loop or brick)
If this isn't the right place to post this direct me to someplace better please! Thank you!

You'll need to flash another Kernal. There are various guides on this forum depending on what firmware you're on
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
Benefit is basically making your tablet faster and smother under heavy tasks such as gaming. Light tasks wont be affected much.
In order to over clock, you need custom kernel and a software that allows you to over clock or under clock. My favorite is set CPU which is paid ( there are tons of CPU app)
If you over clock too much, tablet will become very unstable and also CPU can overheat much easier which can lead to hardware failure. I recommend you to overclock up to 1.6 max if you ever gonna over clock.

I second this when playing games. I do also see a very slight difference in normal day to day use. Just dont overvolt, that i heard is bad for the chip and greatly shortens the length of the chip. Overclocking isnt as bad for it.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
Ah ok so you do need a custom kernel/rom in order to gain access to overclocking. Well I've had problems before with flashing custom roms(soft bricked) and I'm kinda hesitant about it but I mean I've ran emulation on 1.3ghz and it runs smooth like for epsxe. I guess it's a matter of preference really?

I think that it is worth to unlock if you use a 1tb hard disk. It is more useful to overlock GPU as it will boost your perfomance in UI and games.

Overclock improved my tablet experience
When I was running cleanrom 3.4.1 and Unters TF300T 10.4.4.25 Kernel I had it O/C'ed to 1.6.
The ui and games like beach buggy blitz , dead trigger ran noticeably smoother .
Now I'm bac on stock android 4.2.1 from Asus website its nowhere near as smooth probably not even as smooth as stock 4.1.2 imo.
ya im on cm10.1 at the moment. over clocked to 1.6ghz currently. i find whether it was clean rom 3.4.4 or cm10.1 1.6ghz seems to be my tablets sweet spot. with my tablet and dock together on cm10.1 i have lasted like 4 days unplugged laying around with daily use for alittle bit. grand theft auto final fantasy dead trigger. all play so smooth.
Tergrak over clock let's you over clock any ROM, you don't need a custom ROM or kernel just root. Its on the play store.

+1 for overclocking. You can run the tablet at the lower speeds to save the battery when just messing around but you have the option to turn it up when needed. I overclock every device I own if possible. :good:
