PowerVR SGX540 vs Adreno 220

which for the best for gaming?and how to know how many mhz they running on 2D n 3D?
as i found that my htc sensation xe running adreno220 1.5ghz compare to my gf samsung galaxy s2 i9100g which running PowerVR SGX540 at 1.2 ghz only but the result is it faster and smoother than mine== lol

I had HTC Evo3d with adreno 220 and now i have Galaxy s2 G version with powervr.i cant talk about gaming but in quadrant i get 61 Fps with s2 while it was about half of that with evo.its smoother overall in graphics.i get 60fps in nenamark 1 and 36.9 in nenamark 2.keep in my that these results are on gingerbread.ICS surly will raise them

from benchmark sure s2g win as the low resolution,but i tot only benchmark but it is not,in real performance seem it also faster than my xe,is anyone else can confirm this with me?

is power VR in the sgs2 overclocked just like galaxy nexus?
for the nenamark2 results:
my sensation XE 42 fps (266mhz, downclocked by htc)
Samsung galaxy s2 with mali400 59 fps (300 mhz,4core version)
galaxy nexus with OCed powerVR 540 24 fps (400mhz, on the 720p screen)
Galaxy note with mali400 51 fps (300 mhz i güreş on the 720p screen)
When the XE is overclocked to 300 mhz i have 49 and for the 320 mhz i have 53 fps values..
So i guess 37 fps with powerVR is pretty good..

its clocked at 320mhz while galaxy nexus is at 384mhz

With all the worthless quadrants/fps aside. My sensation cm9 plays every game smooth. Mass effect, modern combat 3, gta3 and clocked @ 1.188

Wrong. The Galaxy Nexus is stock at 300Mhz. Google downclocked the CPU & GPU...
At 384 Mhz (the way the chip was designed) it scores in nenamark 29FPS.
At 512 Mhz it scores 40 FPS.

Are U kidding? Samsung uses mali gpus and not powerVR! However, comparing Samsung to Qualcomm is the same to compare AMD to intel.

You came all the way here, just to post that?

We need to test two phones at same resolution and Ghz on the processors but, always will be a advantage because a processor is not only the speed that is clocked at, it does have a build construction tecnology expressed in Nm (22nm for example for the newers) and a cache size and speed...
The exynos in one side has 1mb of cache and the Snapdragon S3 has a 512mhz but clocked at higher frequency... Also the TiOmap 4460 from galaxy nexus has a 1mb of L2 cache size...
these are things to take in mind when we compare GPUs because not only the GPU does all the work...
Also, can we remember that a phone with 512mb of ram has only 384 capable to use? because the rest of the memory is used as Vram, so the speed and size of the ram is important also...

Which rom is the best for gaming? I tried gta 3 on viper 1.6.3 but it is not smooth. Nfs mw runs ok.

no.I have adreno 220(xperia Ion) and power vr (g s2g) at the same time.so talking about some observations

the low resolution really helps powerVR but in HD resolution I am almost sure Adreno 220 would perform better

If you want to compare these two gpus the colosest to fair comparison is comparing sensation xe and Huawei p1. P1 has SGX540 GPU paired with a 1.5ghz CPU and 920x560px resolution, its nenamark is 36.7 on ics 4.0.3. Pretty low, maybe it was nenamark 2 but It's still less than Adreno 220 at qhd resolution.

Nexus 5?

What do you guys believe the Nexus 5 will be like?

I think full HD screen with the same size and ram but more storage stronger faster CPU and GPU and longer battery life with android 5 and By Google not Lg or Samsung and it will be available in all countries

Asphalt 8 FULL HD

Hello everyone!
So I played Asphalt 8 on S4 and it was amazing, so I decided to buy one for myself for my HTC Butterfly. Although I set my graphics on high, it still is not as fancy as on S4, I mean ground and car reflections & etc.
Is there any way I can enable these visuals on my phone? Or at least could anyone please send me a folder located in root/data/data/com.gameloft.android.blabla... there must be some kind of file that would change it.
It would be a great help!
Thanks in advance!

The S4 u played it on is running 4.3 version of android? ...because those extra details u saw may come from opengl 3.0 support ...

Possibly a 4.3 thing. I played it first on 4.3 and then on 4.2.2 and I was able to notice very tiny details that were missing. Welp, something to look forward to in 4.3

I have i9500 4.2.2 stock. Open gl 2 and my game looks just like the one shown in official gameplay trailer. Can you confirm any graphical difference bw opengl 2 vs 3 on asphalt? Thanks.

Copied from android central:
"Asphalt 8 has been optimized to include OpenGL ES 3.0. features, such as graphic and image quality enhancements on the New Nexus 7"
Open GL is only available in 4.3 and even then the i9500 doesn't FULLY support opengl 3.0 (Not all features)
However, i am still waiting for any feedback from someone on this matter. Are the graphics really enhanced on 4.3 if yes then what more effects are added ?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium

So far, only one new feature - new texture compression ETC2 is used from OpenGL 3.0 in Asphalt 8.
You may notice slightly better details on Android 4.3 on Nexus 7 - that's all.
Nothing extraordinary.
Actually, if you copy textures from iOS version of this game then you will notice much more improvements than from OGL3.0

I thought there was dirt on your car in gles 3.0 and not in 2.1
Me Gusta!

Thank you all for responce.
Unfortunately I can not tell if it's on 4.2 or 4.3, thing is, the difference is quite visible, even the blur effect is better on that version. But I really know, is that I have no ground reflections. Is there any way to flash OpenGL 3?

This is true. And I haven't really seen an ios version to compare. Will do when I get home. But android is just as capable as ios. Why skimp on somethings. It should look just as good. Anyways, between 4.2.2 and 4.3 you'll find a difference and no, there is no way to flash 3.0

Hi guys , i really don't want to update to 4.3 , cause i don't like the interface and miss gesture etc ...
so , is someone able to mod OpenGL ES 3.0 for 4.2.2 ?
thanks :laugh:

No way it can be flash or nodded as far as I know. You'll have to wait for the touchwiz version of 4.3. Shouldn't be that long I believe. Htc one already has a sense 5 4.3 leak. I had too many issues with the GPe so I came back to touchwiz

Yeah please let us know in same way how its running on i9505, I am on i9500 and am getting similar performance. Is anyone getting screen tearing on i9500. Im on a older firmware and wonder if its due to driver updates i may not be on.

How does GTA: SA run on your device?

Well I have to say it's great to see GTA SA on android, but think it has performance issues. On my galaxy s4 I have the screen resolution at 35% and draw distance on 85% and every thing else on low or off and still get fps drops. How does it run on your device?

[Q] Nexus uses only single core in games

My Nexus 5 16Gb uses only one core in games like Real Racing 3, and result is unbearable lag. Is there any way to fix this? It's all stock.

Got it. Turned GPU Rendering on on developer options. Lock this thread, please.
