help GPU score low on benchmark test - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hai i have some problem on gpu s6.
Anyone can fix my problem. ??
You can sew on attachment.
Make me confused. My device no root

Why do people worry about their benchmark scores? IT wont do good on you I assure that.
Just be content that your device is powerful enough. Continous benchmarking at a short time span will make your device hot, thus cpu/gpu throttles.
Low speed, low score.
Your phone will give the best performance when you need it at most. Texting, browsing, checking emails, calls don't need all cores/gpu processing on your phone.
Intense gaming would fire up your phone to its full power.
People should refrain from using benchmark scores as much as possible.
Again, heat is the no.1 problem why your score is low, and if you're asking if removing throttling is the best way to get high score?
Its not possible and No, because it is the feature needed by your phone to protect the battery and its chips inside. You dont want to have something bad in your phone and to yourself
Same with desktop, they do have this safe-failure set up on cpu's and gpu's to prevent from overheating.

Just showin off a bit : )

So after reading nearly 5 hours and spending my time in the wee hours of morning, I finally did all the "stable" mods for the phone... If you haven't been reading, make sure you guys check out the stuff in the development forum.
After all modifications, I was able to get 2701 points in quadrant benchmark. What mods did I do?
-i9000 eclair flash (JM5)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734871
-Alternative mimocans lag fix
(one click installer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749495)
-One click root (googled it for i9000)
-Overclock kernel 1.0Ghz to 1.2Ghz

This stuff really does help out your phone folks. Bench it now with quadrant, then take a peak at the other stuff and make magic happen. If anyone needs any additional help setting up their captivate, I'm more than happy to help.
I agree those fixes help speed a lot. But the quadrant score is meaningless. the speed hack creates an io loopback. The loopback just tells quadrant what it wants to hear.
Does your BT work on the european ROM. For me all people hear is a gargeled mess on there end?

Can you post the results of these tests:
Neocore
Linpack
CPU Benchmark
I keep hearing about this quadrant, does it actually improve real world performance? Or is just for the sake of scores?

Quadrant is just benchmarking software that takes the cpu, gpu and memory read/write speeds into account. It runs a series of tests and spits a score number out at the end, so you can compare your device to others (like comparing boner sizes, but less gay).
It doesn't actually do anything to speed up the device though.

This is correct and to be honest there is way to much weight in the I/O tests. That is the only reason that the stock Droid X bests the Gal X. It has more weight than cpu and gpu so you can't put to much into those scores. They really don't mean anything more than bragging rights. What I am interested in is real world usage.
Real world use with the hack provides amazing speed gains opening and switching apps. Io heavy apps are very much improved while open too. It's finally as fast as the iphone.
Whats your battery life like after the overclock?
The score ended up getting lower and lower every time i used quadrant. 2701 is the highest I was able to get so far, but that's with a fresh install of the rom and all the stuff before I started loading on apps. Everytime I ran the benchmark, I of course killed the apps beforehand.
The battery life is the same- to be honest. This is me comparing a rooted stock ROM to the somewhat fresh install of the eclair i9000. The phone is very snappy. I came from an iPhone 4 and one of the biggest eye sores to me was the less-fluidness of changing programs, response to buttons (homescreen-back button) and pinch to zoom. After all these changes, it's a whole different story. Browsing is very appealing, especially since pinch to zoom isn't jagged or slow. The smoothness of this functionality is on par to an iPhone. And there is no waiting when I press the home button or back button.
True, maybe these numbers aren't considerably accurate (as far as the lag fix and EXT2) but at least it shows raw computing capability in it's current state... meaning, the usage of a virtual EXT2. Never the less, the phone is still all around faster, even if it isn't exactly the proper way of going about it.
The only problem I've seen so far is that it likes to randomly shut off. Won't respond to anything unless if I soft reset it. I haven't really found what causes it, since the consistency of it happening goes about in a non set pattern.
I didn't see any real world increase .. so I reverted back in about 4 hours.... I'd rather have the memory than a number that don't transfer to real world speeds...

AnTuTu Benchmarks

I have the highest score listed at 3300. What I'm asking is for people to start downloading AnTuTu Benchmark and running benchmarks while overclocked at 1.152 GHz, see if the score reaches over mine. I want do some research about our phones, but the more scores that are in, the easier and faster ill be able to compile my findings, and come up with something to further increase performance.

Benchmarks are bull****. Each value will come up differently depending on what is going on in the background and how Android chose to throttle the CPU while the benchmark was running...
Beyond that...
Overclocking this device is a known source of instability and most devices will crash under heavy load.
Also, I expect the heat will eventually cause issues when using GPS.
Any device is only as good as the weakest link and you are not increasing the speed of the memory, GPU, or the busses on the board.
What you are doing is increasing the heat inside the case above what the heatsinks are designed to handle and causing timing/sync issues.
There have been times in the past that a manufacturer saved money by producing a large amount of one chip and used it in many devices. In that kind of situation, the chip was sometimes "underclocked" and put in budget devices. I can assure you that is not the case with the Sidekick 4g.
Overclocking is an interesting idea in a large PC because there is plenty of room and accessories available. This device is not a PC.
Sorry, didn't see your reply sooner, been busy with the ROM and general life crap. But yes, too fast and you lag, but with the right overclock, you won't get too hot, but a notice a fair amount of increase. Though yes, I only overclock when need be due to increased battery drain. Regardless, I'm doing limit testing for stability purposes, speed purposes, and because I may attempt at one point to see what I can do about coworking 2.3 at the very least before switching over to the G2. After college starts, I won't be on here much at all.

[Q] Heat and low perfiormance

Got My N5 today, its awesome,
Looks like the performance is so so, the phone heats up too quickly and CPU performance goes down,
If I do Antutu when its warm I get less than 20K in it
If I let it rest for some time and then do it I get a score of 25+
Looks like the device has heat issues
are you guys facing the same issues?
Two-part solution: Stop running benchmark tests and flash Franco kernel.
And, search before you post. Lots of threads on performance benchmarks
I see so many people who care what a benchmark score is.

its not a heat issue. it will get hot with use, especially with antutu benchmark, its a 2.3ghz quad core phone without an active cooling system, what do you expect? anyways, the reason performance goes down when hot is because of heat throttling. your phone does this when going over a certain temp. it drops the cpu speed and number of cores used until it cools down. there are ways around this. you can root your phone and flash a kernel that lets you disable thermal throttle. then all your left with is the safety reboot temp of 100C. when reaching this temp, the phone will automatically shut down. or you can put your phone into a freezer until the cpu temp is below 10C, then run the benchmark.

My geek bench scores are low.

I am having an issue with my Galaxy S6. The videos I have seen online show that S6 achieves scores more than 5000 on multicore on Geek Bench. However not even once have I been able to achieve that. My Geek bench is 64bit edition.
Not that my device is slow or anything but just that I have never been able to achieve that score. I get an average of 4500.
Please help.

Please no. You should keep yourself from doing that. Your device works fine.
Benchmark scores doesnt really scale well on day to day usage I guarantee that.
The main issue with low score in benchmark is DEVICE Temperature. The more heat it gets the lower the score.
Let me clear this thing up to you
You said that your device is not slowing down but got low scores in benchmark, that's because your normal usage of device doesnt push your hardware to its limits therefore you dont feel like it is crawling.
Benchmarking is different. It generally juices up your phone to its full capacity but thermal throttling comes into play, it is a safe-fail feature on device to prevent chips from getting fried. Its doing it by lowering the CPU/GPU clockspeed, the lower the speed, the lower the score you get.
But if you're desperate enough, you may achieve this thru cooling it first, mine gets 5.3k+ on multiscore at 23-25 airconditioned room. 4.5k average on room temperature, and a much lower score of 3K when I run it multiple times.
Oh okay. This is nothing to worry about right? Coz I read in one of the xda forums that this is coz there are some faulty units out there. And I voided my warranty with Unikernel. It was worth it. RAM issues and all.
Keeping it in a AC room I achieved scores beyond 5k.
See why worry if your device doesnt fail you at all hehe.
I dont know about you guys who keeps on relying with benchmark scores?
Live up with your device people. Just settle down and enjoy using it.
Haha yeah. Honestly if it wasn't for Unikernel I'd be pretty disappointed with this device. All lag and stutters gone and finally smooth scrolling. OK totally off topic questions.. Apparently this kernel has something called LED Fade. And I don't know how to make it work. Any help? My notification LED is still the same.

Red Magic 3S/3 Thermals Discussion

Hello everyone, I typically am a shadow user of XDA but Ive decided to start contributing and posting starting with a thermals thread.
As most people know the thermals in the RM3/RM3S were a big selling point for Nubia.
However, throughout my research Ive yet to find any definitive information on the thermals with the fan.
What id like is for this thread to detail how consistent the thermals between RM models are. The problem is I see people say their RM never reaches temperatures past 50c and theres videos showing it performing under 47c at max load.
My personal experience is on the Global Rom latest version on nubias website, I experienced temperatures between 40-48c at high loads and long gaming, however on the latest china rom I am consistently seeing cpu temperatures of 60+ even seeing 75-77c but was not able to push the phone to 80. These are cpu0 temps, throughout everything my battery never exceeded 48c, when at 75c i cut off the tests when the battery caught up to 48c point
THROTTLING NOTE:
Heres a big thing as well to take notice of, I have not been able to engage the thermal throttling on the V5.11 A11 Rom for the red magic 3s no matter what i do, and when checking the thermal engine file its empty, does this mean there is no throttling in place? Can someone check if this is consistent in their rom as well? I can engage thermal throttling fine on the red magic 3.
If your rom does have thermal throttling can you please copy paste your thermalengineconf for the thread?
To contribute for starters you can reply using this template.
For both roms or just one, please specifiy which.
Max temp experienced:
Avg temp experienced:
Max battery temperatures experienced, with or without a cutoff point
Throttle point:
Also just a side inquiry, is having temperatures of 60c-70c safe in the phone? Im aware cpus can handle 60-80c temperatures without issue except perhaps in the very very long term. However I am not sure the Snapdragon 855+ is capable of that? Can anyone educate me? Are the internals in the phone setup in such a way that the nand is as far as possible from the cpu? Anything over 45c is reaching extreme danger zones for ANY nand. If this question doesnt belong in the thread please let me know, this is my first post .
