Quadrant scores dropped after pershoot/VegaN install

Folks,
I was originally running the stock kernel + TnT Lite (latest) and using quadrant standard was achieving benchmark scores in the 2400's - now after installing pershoot kernel (latest with no modules) and the latest VegaN I am now seeing a score of just over 1700 - is this something I should be particularly concerned about? Are there, for lack of a better term, optimizations that are missing either from this ROM or kernel that are coming in the future?

Stock kernel and vegan tab 5.1 gets me mid 2400's

CPU governor
I believe this is because pershoot uses the ondemand cpu governor instead of performance. Gives better battery, but benchmarks are lower. In daily use you really shouldn't see a difference as the cpu will ramp up when you need it.

that totally makes sense... thanks...

I have a custom compiled ROM from ejhart in #tegratab and I get 2000 in Quadrant but I run Dungeon Defenders flawlessly, so I could give two s**ts about Quadrant

I too don't necessarily care about break-neck speed results in Quadrant but what I do care about is if lower scores are being caused by bleeding-edge drivers that may cause problems for me down the road vs. power saving techniques being employed by the kernel - hence my original question.
But at the end of the day, if what you need runs smoothly, then its all moot

I am running VEGAn 5.1.1 with the stock kernel also but I am getting scores of 1800-1900 with Quadrant Standard
How can I figure out why I am not seeing a higher level of performance? Thanks.
Jay

Just ran it and got 2559 - Vegan 5.1.1 - Clemsyn Kernel and libsqlite.so and plenty of stuff running.
I'm pretty sure it has always been around 2100+ on any ROM or stock kernel I have tried.
That is strange..

Overclocking Question

hi all,
i want to root and overclock my TF300T
for the overclocking:
-Can i use setcpu ? What other tool is good for OC ?
- Do i need a Costum ROM for overclocking to 1.5Ghz (MAX!)
-Will the performance be a lot better ? or just better ? or no diffrence ?
-What is the highest possible OC ?
Thank you

If you are on ICS you can over clock to 1.5 no problem. I don't know about Setcpu on ICS, but I do know EzOverclock works.
If you upgraded to Jellybean, I don't know of anyway to overclock as of yet. EzOverclock won't work on Jellybean and reportedly causes boot loops. I tried setcpu on my Jellybean Tf300 and found the CPU to be maxed at 1.3.

ok thank you, can i look somewhere to find out when EzOverclock is compatible with JB ?
Thank you

It really depends on how you use the tablet, and where your bottleneck is. My feel is that I/O is the biggest bottleneck on the ASUS pads and the effects are felt across the board. I believe ASUS is working on a fix, though. Fingers crossed.
I/O notwithstanding, day-to-day tasks like email and web browsing don't need a 1 Ghz. Even video playback won't be affected by the difference between 1.2 Ghz (the ASUS performance mode) and 1.5 Ghz (typical max OC). Rendering graphics, I'm not sure how much is offloaded to the GPU, so games or graphic heavy applications may be where you'll see the most gains.

EZoverclock don't work on JB it will keeps restarting your tablet when EZoverclock starts.
And other apps work but can only be set to 1.3 so no overclock on JB with this kernel.

I think in graphically intense applications, such as games, would offer the most notable difference even with gpu offloading since not all instructions are graphics related. That being said just know that battery life will take a hit.

Remember...... as of now EzOverclock will not work in Jellybean.....

Epic Citadel

Curious what ROM is getting the best scores on this
Not saying it's great game or something I will spend much time with, but wow, can't wait to see what epic hopefully bring us in the future.
Also think it may be the best way to test a devices capabilities.
please let us know:
Run it on High Quality
Rom: Cromi 3.2.1
FPS: 40.1
Fsync: OFF
Kernel: Clem 1.8 700gpu 1450mhz
Entropy: not using
Sdcard settings: noop/6144
Data2SD: not using , really curious what the score will be if this is used

It's not even a game -.- It's just an, admittedly visually very interesting, benchmark tool.

On a fully stock TF700.
41fps, not shabby imo for being with such high res.
I'm curious what the Nexus 10 does at that high native res.

Is the Unreal Engine optimized for Tegra 3? I get about 40fps on my tf700 at 1920x1128, but 45 fps on my note ii at 1280x720. I know the gpu on the note ii should be much better than that.

A little faster
Rom: Cromi 3.2.1
FPS: 40.6
Fsync: OFF
Kernel: _that oc
Entropy: not using
Sdcard settings: noop/6144

I get exactly the same using the oc kernel from _that as well.

Wow.......
Tf700 - 40.6
Rom - cromi 3.2.1
Kernel - stock no o/c
Note2 - 48
Rom - cleanrom 4.2.5
Kernel - stock no o/c

Wow, why can't I get more than 39.x fps using my own kernel? Sometimes it was even slower with the overclocked kernel than with the stock one.
Anyway, 39 fps in more than Full HD resolution on a mobile device with a GPU that is considered outdated is still impressive.

Benchmark
I guess this shows the smoothest graphics possible on tf700t at fullhd resolution.
Mine gives 38.5 fps at high quality in balanced mode and 39.0 at high performance mode.
Stock, unrooted, 4.1.1

That's a good lookin' non-game. What are some real games that look this good?

Even i don't have any idea of the games that either use the full resolution of work so flawlessly.

Well, I guess you can call it a game, if the kind of games you play is walking around for no reason

Ya i know that its not a game. And i ask you guys to suggest some "games" that use the resoution and work smoothly on this tablet.

I don't know of any that do. But hopefully soon!
But as fast add great graphics games I would say most wanted, max Payne.

Overclocking/undervolting the TF700 gpu

Dear XDA people,
Im currently working with Max's V4 RC2 kernel in combination with Cromi-X 4.6.9 (still need to update to the latest), which gives me a pretty smooth working tablet.
Now, im running the cpu at 1900mhz, 1225mV (still testing if i can go lower), and I can adjust speed and voltage nicely with Trickster Mod.
But, I would wan't to crank up the gpu speed (which is currently 666mhz I think?) and have the same "options/settings" available to do so. For example, a rom limitation of 750/800mhz on the gpu, with a variation of voltages to choose from. This way I can get as much gpu power as possible, since i find gaming on the tf700 pretty disappointing in terms of performance (of course a lot of games are not optimized for tegra).
Do you guys know what would be the best possible solution to overclock/adjust the gpu speed+voltage?
Thanks!

I think 666mhz GPU setting is probably reserved for Satans minions. At the moment the only way to control GPU speed is by adjusting the voltage. This is easiest using hunds kernel (3.1 if you have problems with 3.2) and his app. Together, you can crank the GPU all the way up to 775MHz and fry some eggs on the back of your TF700 and waiting for it to go into nuclear meltdown.

I know the gpu runs hot, thats why I want to see what speeds can be achieved with limited voltage. So you‘re saying the only way to change gpu speed is by setting a higher voltage for it? Why is that exactly?

You've posted this in the wrong forum, so it will be deleted, in the mean time there is really no reason to use 1900mhz even less so while gaming. 1700mhz at max (it can go higher but you wont see much change/ if at all in benchmarks/ games but u'll see the difference in battery life)
As for gpu i run 750 mhz but again the difference between 650 - 750 mhz is hardly noticeable, gaming performance isn't great on the tf700, the tf300t doesn't look as good but its noticeably smoother with 3d
Moral of the story the tegra 3 gpu isn't powerful enough for 1920x1200 the tegra 4 wont be much better, the tegra 5 is the interesting one

Yes, that's what I'm saying. Unless you want to learn to create kernels and do all the magical voodoo these wizards do to bring us OC kernels!

I have no idea, been wondering that myself. I even posted the question somewhere about a week ago, but no one enlightened me. I really reccomend using hunds kernel and app though. There is a "gaming" option in his app that works very well, good speed without the ominous red glow of molten metal on your TF700's back panel.

Are you saying increasing gpu voltage will subsequently increase gpu frequency? (i have no idea how it works, ive never bothered to look into it but now im interested) _that or Hunds will know but im guessing if thats the case freq and voltage must be linked in a voltage table but i would have thought freq could be changed independently to voltage

I know the tf700 isnt much of a gaming tablet unfortunately, but then again, why not setting it up so that it runs games as smooth as the hardware will allow ? Every small improvement is an improvement if you ask me.
For 750mhz gpu, what kernel are you using?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app

I'm using hundsbuahs latest kernel, the problem with tegra CPUs is thermal throttling, it starts around 72c on a lot of devices (not sure about the tf700) at 1900 you could find worse gaming performance than a lower cpu / GPU clock speed. Its completely up to you, hundsbuahs kernels give users a lot of flexibility as they can push the devices to the limit, I like _that's kernels personally they suited to my usage (what ever that means)

Nexus 5 - how to take the best performance?!

Hello everyone.
I hope there aren't a similar post here.
I wood like to make a "monster" Nexus 5, concerning performance.
So, can somebody tell me about the fastest ROM, the best version of the rom, the best compatible kernel, etc.
I want to see the highest benchmark, and of course the best performance.
I don't care about the version of the ROM (KitKat, Lollipop, etc)
I'm waiting for responses.
Thank you!

Get Marshmallow (Stock or the Xtreme ROM)
Get Elemental X kernel
Switch to F2FS filesystem in recovery (make backups as this wipes)
Overclock
Profit.
For reference:
3D Mark IS Unlimited score: 18672 (stock was in the 15k)
Geekbench (single core): 1040 (stock 800s)
Geekbench (multicore): 2987
AnTuTu: 42k
This is running at 2.8Ghz.
EDIT: I can benchmark all the way up to 2.9Ghz but it becomes unstable in day-to-day use at that point. So keeping it at 2.7 - 2.8Ghz for stability.

Get Racer Kernel
Any Rom will do as long as it is not a DeoDexed Rom
get performance cpu governor, OC to 2.9 GhZ
make I/O scheduler either Sio or Vtripndroid
make read ahead 3072kb
Set cpu governor tunable of up_threshold to 10
Watch your phone have the greatest benchmark scores.. While getting hotter than sexy girls while screen On haha
