Never really been to keen on benchmarks, but curiosity got the best of me. Just in case anyone else is interested, I managed to sideload Antutu on my Nexus Player and ran a benchmark on it. I attached screenshots of the results.
Thank you, this look good but I think the Fire Tv is faster ?
Also how did you get the Screenshot with you Nexus Player?

I'm not sure about the Fire TV, and I don't have one to test it. As far as the screenshots, I used ADB to take them.
adb shell screencap -p /path/to/filename.png
Faster than Fire TV. I found a review that states 25673 on Antutu for Fire TV - although Antutu is not that reliable, would be nice to compare all the results.
Well... I've never really trusted benchmarks anyway, but if there's a different benchmarking app that you'd like to see, I can sideload it and post the results.

Fire TV results
So it looks like the memory is twice as fast, nice. And both GPU and CPU are better. FireTV was already quite fast for my uses and runs my games at 60FPS, so Nexus Player should run them without any problems, maybe I could even raise the level of details a bit in them (those are 2D games, so they don't have that high demands on the hardware). :good: Thanks for the results.
Badass the NP performs as well as the nexus 5

I am on stock 2.3.6. I installed 1.2 apk and it really lags alot.
Xperia play unrooted and stock seems to play it quite smoothly, nexus S is more powerful so surely it should run smooth??
I have the same problem and I also like to know how to fix it.. The game runs reaply badly for my usual gaming habits. I use Matrix kernel @ 1.46GHz and the latest CM9 nightly. I get really high bench scores for 4.0.3 and overall performance kicks the ass of my friends' stock Galaxy SII I-9100.

I have generally found the general section to be most responsive. That method you are saying is via root and I am not rooted.
I always played it on mute anyway, and after deleting the audio files i got a massive jump in performance (audio was being processed even with volume at 0). Personal preference, but a noticeable fps jump.
So I guess the game isnt optimized for powerVR?? It seems to run fine on adreno 205, this is disappointing.
I mainly want to play it for the nostalgic bit and the audio is really important part of it.
The nostalgia value of my GTA3 experience was with a sound bug that forced the rain to play constantly. Not really the highlight of the game for me
The sound on the Nexus S seems kind of delayed and i've noticed many games that slow down a little as sounds are meant to kick in. I don't know exactly why, maybe mediaserver isn't given good enough priority. This seems to be the same issue that plagued my GTA3 adventures though.

perhaps being rooted is the reason I have yet to experience the problems you describe. I play gta and games which are more graphic intensive than gta with np.
I don't think the processor is to blame for your inability to play the game. The ns processors have proven to be more than capable of handling most processes. Rather, the stock software does not allow the hardware to reach its full potential. In other words, the nexus s is a peacock you; you've got to let it fly.

I havent experienced lag in any other game and I have played a few. Asphalt 6 runs smooth as well.
And btw my audio runs perfect and never stutters.
I saw youtube video of overclocked nexus S running GTA3 and even that had performance issues.
just install 1.3, i used to have major lag on 1.2 on my nexus s but on 1.3 i have no lag. Huge improvement!

Peacocks don't fly
renaming the "audio" folder into "audio1" made the game much much smoother. i don't mind the missing sound. But isn't there a way to make it run even better? i still experience some massive lag problems...
Huge gain in performance by deleting the Audio folder. Thanks for the tip, now I can enjoy this game.
Controls take some getting to.

If you honestly think that your quadrant score makes your phone with a single A8 cortex core faster than two A9 cores there is something seriously wrong with you. Software tweaks can make up to 1% difference in actual performance.

Just did that and you got me excited as there was no lag in the opening cutscene. But it was back as soon as I started driving.
The sad part is I thought I wouldnt care about the game as the controls would be really bad but they arent that bad, it's very much playable but the performance is the issue.

Isn't our SGX540 faster? I would say the game is just well optimized for the Xperia Play. Our GPU is pretty ok, it's actually still built in to the Galaxy Nexus (although I think it is higher clocked in this newer phone

So, suppose the benchmarks didn't show a good result.
Compare it to the samsung's galaxy s3
There's some latency issues, nvidia tegra 3's 5th Battery Saver Core, essentially single core on its own.
Look at the bench results of sgs3 and compare.
What's so different between these devices that makes the results look odd, eg, camcorder etc,.
OMG is this game laggy on this tablet. Is anyone else playing this game with no lag? If so what did you do. My Samsung S3 plays this game with zero lag. But I keep changing Roms and I have no idea how to save this game. Any help would be great... Thanks

Runs smooth for me on balanced mode besides the characters walking animation not being smooth. Every time he takes two steps I feel a slight stop and go in the game.

I don't think the tablet being too weak for games would be correct. This tablet has the cpu/gpu to run them. There is something else that is keeping games from having full compatibility or smoothness with this tablet. You can search and find theories from game developers being too lazy to properly code or there being an underlining issue with Tegra3 chips that Nvidia never addressed but was supposedly working on a patch for. More likely it's the high resolution of the screen which we all ready know causes a performance hit. I don't see that as being week since it is giving us a beautiful picture when using the tablet for various tasks. For those running a custom rom, is there the option to lower the resolution of the screen for extra performance?
To the original poster, not make it sound like you don't know what your tablet is doing, but are you running anything in the background or accidentally have battery saver set? I will try downloading this game and see what I get performance wise. I'm running a fresh stock install of 4.1 firmware.
----------
No problems for me running the game on stock firmware 4.1. Ran it in both performance and balanced mode.
Also im on cromi-x 4.5 with hunds 3.0.6 kernel today, running close to smooth with hunds kernel app that sets the cpu/gpu for games. Sadly i cant run the game on medium setting because the app wont save the settings after game relaunches
Edit: got it to change

I stated that the tf700 is too weak for this game.
I agree that the tf700 has got the potential to be a game perfomer, but unfortunately it ain't.
You elaborated the reasons for this and I think you're right.
Yet, we are not living in theories but in reality where game developers skip our device
(I tried to address some of them asking for a fix, but to no avail).
Here is an example of a correspondence I had with Get Set games inc.:
"Dear Dev,
My almost 2 year old daughter is mad about Mega Run (which she keep calling "Monkey Circles").
I am an old fan of Mega Run and Mega Jump too.
The issue is that the game's graphics are not optimised for the 10 inch screen of the Asus Infinity (TF700).
Therefore the graphics are a bit blurry.
I would appreciate it if you could help me find a solution for what I have described,
or maybe issue a version that will be optimised for our tf700's screen.
Hope my request will be considered since as I have written, we love your application.
Thanks with advance and keep up the good work.
REPLY:
Thanks for getting in contact with us and for the feedback. It is great to hear that you and your daughter have been enjoying Mega Run. We have just release Mega Run on Android, and with that release we chose to only have one set of graphics at a medium/high resolution. The reason we chose to do this is that most Android devices fit this resolution very well. In the future, we hope to have higher resolution graphics for tablets such as the Asus Infinity.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Mike"
IMHO - this is not a standard machine... I should have learned this sooner (before I purchased it).
Anyways, the TF700 has it's strong areas: great device for playing all kinds of media and even some games.
The mSD slot is awesome and all in all I enjoy it.
It runs fairly well, actually. Frankly, it runs smoother than Skyrim ever did on my PC. (That game used to literally freeze every 2 steps to re-render the scene. Crappy coding from Bethesda... As per bloody usual.)

You could've known the game would be blurry. Games are made with the 'hyped' devices in mind: The Galaxy Tab and the Galaxy S3. Which both run 1280x800, as opposed to 'our' 1920x1200.. (Quite a significant size increase.)
Anything with a higher resolution is a HD version, and specifically has HD listed behind it. ('Angry Birds HD'.)
Give it +-six months. Then, the SGS4 and the Note 3 will be the top devices alongside the HTC One and the potential new Nexus. And developers will have no other choice but to finally make games and apps in HD.

I agree with you that eventually 1920x1080 will be a common resolution for Android devices, but I still believe Tegra 3 is too weak to run those games at full HD resolution (all Full HD devices I know have either a Snapdragon S4 Pro or Snapdragon 600 to power that many pixels). I have seen quite a few games that lag miserably on my tf700, even if it is optimized for Tegra. Example, Beach Buggy Blitz (running at max setting of this game is a big no-no on my tf700).
As for Skyrim, I really have no complaint about frame drop and stuttering, it runs quite smoothly on my laptop. Nevertheless, given the diversity of PC hardware, it could just be that I was lucky to have fully compatible hardware.
I don't agree : Dungeon Hunter 4 is very laggy on my tab and i am not playing that game anymore due to that issue. But i have played many hours to The Bard's Tale and it worked nearly perfectly (it would lag only when a lot of characters and huge effects, that means about 10 seconds every 4 hours) and bard's tale is imo more beautiful than dh4 and still it was developed in 2012 when hd screens were very rare. So imo the dh4 lag issue comes from poor design and programming.

It's primarily the I/O issue, not the Tegra 3.
The problem is that games are optimized for snapdragons because that's what the hyped, common-cattle owned devices (SGS3/4 & GT2) run.
SoulCraft THD: Perfectly.
SHADOWGUN THD: Perfectly.
Samurai II: Vengeance THD: Perfectly.
Puddle THD: Perfectly.
Zombie Driver THD: Perfectly.
Renaissance Blood THD: Runs well.
The Bard's Tale: Fine.
N.O.V.A. 3: Some issue with green images in main menu/intro, Game itself runs fine.
So no, it's not the Tegra 3. It's lazy developers and crap engines.
As for Skyrim, I really have no complaint about frame drop and stuttering, it runs quite smoothly on my laptop. Nevertheless, given the diversity of PC hardware, it could just be that I was lucky to have fully compatible hardware.

It's since been fixed in the patches. The issue occured during the first 3 updates (including vanilla base.). At one point I had backwards flying dragons that spun around breathing fire in mid air and stopped every few seconds as the game froze and unfroze :laugh: The engine Skyrim runs on is 12 years old, and instead of using a clean version they retasked the Fallout one with all the coding still cluttering it.
The main fault in this tablet is the i/o. Everything else is perfectly big enough to run the screen. With such crappy i/o, the tablet cannot cache applications at a rate needed, especially for files made for Full HD screens. This can be solved with a B2R tpye script or Data2SD. With Data2SD, even on a pretty cheap card, the tablet runs much much smoother. This is why the browser on stock runs so terribly. The internal i/o cant cache it fast enough. So, the Tega 3 is more then enough of power, but the problem is the i/o, which can only even start to be tweaked by unlocking/rooting, but even then there is no fix.

GPU performance has nothing to do with I/O.
I/O is slow for random writes, yes - but games usually don't write a lot to storage. The GPU is slow because it is simply not very powerful. See here:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6036/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700t-review/4
With good programming, it can drive the full HD screen with acceptable framerate (see Epic Citadel), but apparently not every engine is so well optimized.

I notice the Nook HD+ that also has a 1080p display seems to play games smoother than the 700. Performance is about in between the 700 and 300, with the 300 being better overall.
The 4470 gpu is more robust for higher def displays and has dual channel memory, but a dual core. I would have expected the net result to be a wash, but does seem the dual channel memory might be the difference.
For game emulators though that are cpu heavy like MAMEreloaded, the Nook is a little faster. Gets hot in the bottom right corner though.
horrible
Yeah i tried this game. Changed graphics settings in game to lowest and had performance mode on and it still lagged like crazy. Not really my kind of game to begin with so it didn't upset me too badly, but i would have expected more from such a high end tablet.
I have uninstalled the game today : too laggy and i still believe that its code is bad (bard's tale is so much smoother on my same tab)

I know this is a bit of an old thread, I just not stumbled upon it. I've been using cromi-x for quite some time, and on earlier versions I didn't have much issue until I got into higher levels where more monsters generated, then it would lag briefly and go back to normal. As of lately I haven't even been able to play the game. I've played a few other games that seem to have similar features and get zero lag. Though I'm not a coder or developer, I feel that this is a issue with the game itself combined with i/o limitations of our tablet. SDBags has done some amazing work on his rom. I've tried all sorts of kernel and tweak combinations, none of which seem to correct the issue. To make the issue worse I was level 42 and lost my entire game and $40 worth of purchases that gameloft has yet to refund me. That, of course doesn't have anything to do with the laggy issue. I thought I would bump the thread to see if anyone else has come up with anything.
Hey,
Must say this tablet is amazing,, screen is crisp, tegra 4 doesnt seem to really perform much different but heh the tegra 3 doesnt have to hit this res... but trust me I work for a company with a fruit as a logo and this blows all there tablets out the water//

About the screen not true imo, but about the heat part, yes it heats like a mofo when in full speed mode. When in battery saving mode it caps the cpu frequency to 1.0 and almost no heat, when its not 1.8 and heats like an oven.

I'm still looking for this tablet in a retail store so that I can check it out in person. Can't seem to find anyone else selling it besides Best Buy (online only) and a few third party vendors on Amazon.
To me, Toshiba excite pro is between all tables the best!

Well, these are my impressions:
The screen is very good
The bluetooth keyboard stand is incredibly good design. Never seen better. This magnet stuff is nicely flexible and stable as well. does work well having it on the lap like a netbook.
The performance with the stock ROM is incredibly BAD. I've got frequent lags, especially in the browser, but also when waking the device and sometimes without an apperant cause. And the most incredible thing is that this device is supposed to work on a 1.8GHz quad core - how is such a bad performance possible with such a monster processor?!

for me its the fastest Tablet i have ever seen. it gets warm...yes. But thats probably because it is really fast. I had an transformer prime before and this is considerably faster. (I use the aosp browser). display is sharp and crisp. not as good as my htc one but also really good.
Problems:
1. WLAN Connection is unstable (there is an Update but currently only in the us)
2. Sometimes it just wont respond to anything. Hard Restart is the only solution. (same here update should be available)
3. Root would be nice
4. would be great if some skilled user would take a deeper look...
I having excite pro almost week and did not found any fault so far.
WiFi work spotless and reconnect in matter of second (from standby or from deep sleep)
10" Screen whit light sensor is one the best on market for me.
Battery life is pretty good(five to six hours watching movies from single charge) and sound one the best I heard on tablet.
Some apps don't work well like opera browser (crashing all times) but Firefox works fine.
Abbot heat I not playing games on it but watching movies,you tube and browsing internet, no heat whats so ever (not using battery saving mode because browsing can be glitchy).
Not latest android installed on it but jelly bean 4.2.1 is pretty good and Toshiba did nice touch with apps winch almost all can be disabled inducing Toshiba one.
It looks interesting, I didn't know about them. Maybe I will look for further information.
Is there a user forum anywhere for this device?
Picked one up like so many others from Amazon for £170 knowing there would be no root option but satisfied to use it primarily for media playback.
Ive tried a couple of media files on it since arrival this morning and playback on some is a little stuttery using the Tosh's own media player and BSPLAYER. Can anyone recommend one capable of playing AVI with AC3 / MKV and x264 please.
Thanks
Just ordered one. ...

Also have u done firmware update? 4.3 update?
I was on 4.3 got bsplayer working properly in the end but had a look at mx as well and that seemed ok too. Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay getting back.

No worries.
My only major problem is the sound which is on the quiet side.
I'm hoping someone has a fix for that.

Will have to check my version but Bsplayer volume goes up to 200% when using my finger on the screen where using the volume rocker it only goes up to 70%.
Would be nice to have somewhere us excite pro users could call our own.
If we did I would be able to ask questions like
1 - Is Angry Birds Go crashing for anybody else?
2 - What launchers is everyone using?
3 - What browser is everyone using as chrome seems a little clunky?
1 is now fixed following recent upgrade
This is an excellent device for the cost excellent. ..
Except sound. It's just not loud enough. Sound is excellent just not loud enough
I too have one, love it but the lack of root is frustrating. However, I have discovered that most of the updated Google apps can be sideloaded. This morning I updated the stock email Client to the one that ships with KitKat and it works flawlessly with the new exchange services. Going to look at seeing if anything else can be taken across.
Ran quadrant on my rooted Asus Memo pad and the Tosh and the Tosh scored double and more. The only area it is weaker in is 3d graphics which does surprise me.
Hello there happy Op7 owners
In 3 days is my 40th birthday and I am in the search of a present for myself - a new smartphone
But, i searched the world for eons (i mean, the internet for a few weeks) for a device capable of playing full speed 60 fps, a certain collection of games.
I asked owners of Pocophone, Mi9, S9, OP6 to test this little game for me, and the results, while promising, were not the full speed that i want. All these phones are capable of runing the game, on paper, but the CPU throttling destroys the performance after a short while. The game needs a big core to run as efficient as it can.
All my research led me to OP7 which apparently, seen from tests with CPU throttling app, has an amazing way of keeing the big core full speed without throttling, or with very minimal throttling.
So, please help me confirm this is the chosen one (...or not) by testing for me the rom Espgaluda 2 (i can provide it in pm if needed, though is easy easy to find in google), using Retroarch emulator (PlayStore) with Mame 2015 core (2015!). The core is downloaded inside the app from Load Core menu. Don't forget to activate On Screen fps :good:
If played for like 5 minutes, we should have an ideea of performance. If one could record with a second phone the test, it would be perfect!
Thanks so much and forgive my enthusiast :angel:
That's minimum what I got lol. Constantly 60FPS.

Wow man! Could you please confirm that the smoothness remains even after playing more than 5 minutes?
And, very important; Are you rooted? Any special CPU related tweaks or just stock 100%?
Thankss!!

I tried it a few minutes and it was still great. Don't remember 5 or 10 minutes.
Yes I'm rooted with bluespark kernel, but I bet its the same with stock kernel, because there is no overclock with bluespark, so far I know.
