Graphical performance - Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi all,
From my work I got a P9, and at first I was pretty happy about it. Everything felt snappy and very nice.
Then I tried the games I usually play, pretty Graphical intense games. In these games I only get about 12 fps. This is absolutely terrible. Does anyone know a way to resolve this? Is the GPU inside the P9 not capable of handling graphical intense games or is it software related?
Would it matter to root it and install a custom rom?
Thanks in advance!
Stephan
Edit: I have the 3gb ram version, and when playing games I have performance mode activated.

For the Kirin 955, the CPU is very fast (close to the Samsung S7). But the GPU is not good.
Normal games should be fine. But if you play something like NBA2K then the performance is pretty bad.

What if you use the ROG feature?

Best GB Rom ?

what's the best GB rom for my O3D?
I actually have Thiaiz 2.2.1...
Help
PD: I want all the 3D features.
I actually prefer stock 21A, other GB Roms (I've tried Thaiz and Acura) don't seem to run games as smooth (GTA III at least).
The Camera on both Thaiz and Acura seem to start up much faster though (~1-2 secs compared to ~5-10secs on stock GB)
Oh, but I've tried stock ROM too and the LG Launcher goes very slow not smothly and Quadrant's result sucks
GTA 3 seems to perform better on stock 21a and Baxter (no 3d space)
Both thaiz and acura seem to have random freezes in gta, I haven't tried other games though.
Quadrant is pretty much the most pointless benchmarking app. The 3d benchmarks are pretty much capped to 60 fps on high end smartphones with vsync.
IO gives quite a lot of points, even though pretty much nobody would ever require it.
CPU speed also isn't too useful unless you plan on doing complex calculations or playing chess @ the highest difficulty
I would suggest a benchmark app that benchmarks 3D gaming- pretty much the only thing speed its required for - such as nenamark.
Or just trying laggy games such as dungeon defenders, gta, or 3d converted games
Also, go launcher or launcher 360 seem to be able to perform much smoother than lg stock launcher. They also look nicer and use less CPU/battery
Battery life wise, I don't notice much of a difference (battery stats all broken)

Pubg Mobile gaming performance

Is anyone having choppy gameplay on the OnePlus 6 while playing Pubg?
I have kept the settings on default, HD and high frame rate
What graphic setting are you guys using ?
I use an iPhone X for my job and Pubg is smoother on it even at higher setting
If any one has any suggestions to improve performance I would really appreciate it
Performance is best on OP6 but there's some heating.

I did , I think it all does is disable network connections for other apps while playing
Going smooth here.. Mid graphics +max frame rate..
On hdr+max fps - it's just as good but, I wanted to conserve some battery..
Some website did a review, it's hitting 30fps 99% of the time
Waiting for update with 60fps support .. Don't know about iPhone
Edit - review is from xda ?
Pubg runs perfect on HDR+Ultra fps, although I prefer playing at smooth graphics+extreme fps (60fps). Buttery smooth gameplay, although for every 30 minute game played, the phone loses 15% battery
Just tried the game after reading this thread. Goodness this game runs smooth on highest settings possible. played a few matches this morning. Not one hiccup.
Previous experience with note 8, Nexus 6p, essential phone and mate 9. Better than all. We
Yeah just tried it for the first time too. Runs great, came in top 3 with around 10 kills first try, think I might retire and leave my PUBG career on a high
I haven't had any issues and I put mine on Max at full screen mode. Plays really well.

Ping on op6
Hi,
I have played ping on op6 over 10-15 30 min sections.. under different conditions like HD, ultra fps to smooth with ultra fps.. no performance issues... Heating is nominal just like any other phone.. not significantly alarming or something....
Only once I got choppy frame rate and that too for a couple of seconds.
Everything else is fine..
Btw I use 8gb ram model.

Gpu Turbo update available (C185)

Hello everyone
A few hours ago, Firmware Finder received .150 firmware update for C185 models. I personally downloaded it even though there was no change log and updated using Hurupdater. I had noticed no changes at a first glance but then i moved to settings to confirm that the phone had updated. It said GPU Turbo below my version number. I decided to check out a graphically intensive game I play called 'Honkai Impact 3rd' on max graphics and 60fps which would heat down the phone within a few missions and there would also be quite a few stutters when alot of special effects would be going on at the same time before. I can confirm that since the update that the stutters have been reduced but most importantly, the phone hasn't been heating up as much in game after an hour of playtime. Battery life has been noticeably better too as there is less drain for sure. This is just my experience, can't wait for everyone else to get it as well, so I can know what is happening (whether GPU Turbo is actually on or not). For now though, I'll be testing more games to see how the phone is doing but I'm liking this so far.
very good news
In China, there have been a lot reports of the phone getting even hotter, the battery draining faster and the camera being more sensitive to flaring (esp. in night mode). I'm curious if people here will confirm or if these bugs have been fixed in the meantime. Personally, I think I won't update to .150 when it's out, better to wait a few weeks =)
Better battery drain during gaming or even in general use?

From my experience (which is less than a full day) the phone doesn't get as hot as it normally did before the update unless I play extensively for about an hour straight. Any less and I've been seeing good heat management so far. Of course I'm still in the early stages of testing and cannot comment further until 3-4 days of testing.

So battery life definitely seems better when i was playing my regular games., I'll need some time before I can comment on regular use. I'll try updating the thread after a few days of testing.
Interesting news! Any antutu or other benchmark result?
Still waiting 130 update for C432 model of p20 pro.
Funny how some areas gets updates so much faster although same phone model.
What about normal apps specially Google photos. Is it any smoother with no lag or stutters ??
Hi, please check the slo-mo 960fps recording.... Any improvements in the alleged artifacts during 32x slow videos? Huawei is using framerate interpolation for it which throws in visible artifacts during close up slow motion...

For everyone interested to know benchmark results, to my disappointment, results on Antutu, Geekbench and 3d mark remain very similar to those prior to the update. Which is very strange indeed as I'm definitely noticing an improvement in battery life, device heat management and fps slightly whilst gaming. It is possible that im running a test build and have not been running a full taste of Gpu Turbo, and it's also possible that Huawei's claim of 'Gpu Turbo' just means much better device thermal manamagement for more consistent FPS and battery life. Lastly, it is also possible thst Gpu turbo isn't even on since this is a test build and it's just that they've tweaked device performance and improved battery life compared to the previous version I was on (. 130). Thus I cannot judge fully and I'm waiting on an update to prove me wrong. I check firmware finder everyday and love testing new things. Although if what I'm experiencing is actually gpu turbo then I do not mind as at the very least, I see some improvement in battery life.

Scrolling has been super smooth. Google photos has been super snappy. The only app I see causing any scroll lag at this time is Twitter and that I'd blame the app itself rather than Huawei. I think it's definitely more fluid than the previous version of the software I was on but it is not heavily noticeable as both were very smooth for the most part.

I took this opportunity to compare the slow mo performance to my Mom's S9+. I believe the artifacts are still present as I see lines and weird effects popping up randomly which I do not see on the S9+.
Gpu turbo is only for games so you won't notice any improvement other that in gaming, that's why there is an special application tor that "game suite" that you can enable the acceleration.
I'm running b150 for a few days and so far the phone is better from before in term of small tweaks here and there and i noticed the front camera is better now,not perfect but very usable.
The battery has improved a little but but it was very good before too.
I had read that the antutu would be similar to snapdragon 845. I guess it was just a lie.

Oh thanks for the info, I actually didn't notice this and yes I see games running much nicer with the setting turned on. However, they also heat up the phone quicker and drain alot of battery life. Should you choose to turn the option off however, you notice the same games don't drain as much battery life anymore and the phone doesn't heat up as much and the battery life is noticeably better than before the update.

I don't play intensive games just clash royal,i have the acceleration turned off, didn't test much of it but the battery seems better not sure about the heat tho.
This is my battery life this day,all day 4g and most of the time outside.

That's pretty good considering you're gaming. I'm definitely getting atleast 7-8 hours of sot when I'm not going all out and about 5-6 on maxed out heavy gaming for most of the day. Even with the Gaming Optimization turned on the phone doesn't heat up alot as long as you're in a well ventilated environment. Im not much of a heavy gamer myself but definitely see better fps on Csr Racing 2 (used to lag a bit in the garage) and Honkai Impact 3rd with optimization in gaming suite on. Honkai is definitely giving me 60 fps in 90% of the scenarios so the lag is barely noticeable unlike before. As for benchmarks, unfortunately you cannot add benchmark related apps to the game optimize feature so the GPU turbo can't be turned on for them. Strangely enough, every other app (even regular apps) can be optimized.

Performance horrrrible on PUBG game! How to solve?

For casual use, mostly, the 3A play well. But when playing PUBG game, its performance soooooooo bad even worse than Snapdragon 625..very laggy and never smooth, stucking everwhere evern I flash the EX kernel and seems doesn't work, how to solve this problem?

You cant. Thist is the wrong device for heavy gaming.
Try this app called Pub gfx on app store.
Set to lower resolution. You can keep the frame rate on high. I have this on my pixel 3a Xl and its running great!

My Note 20 Ultra 5g N9860 became slower running games

Hello there,
My N9860 was a beast when it comes gaming.. recently, I noticed it drops frames more frequent for instance, pubg used to run on extreme graphics at steady 60 fps .. now it fluctuates alot reaching down to 56 fps... Asphalt 9 does the same, may be even worse with dropped frames up to 52 fps! I made a hard reset but it is the same! I am not sure if that happened after the latest update ending with ATI3. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Are you using the gamelauncher function of Samsung to play the games? As it has the options to keep everything maxed out. Only other thing is if you have things running in background that could be taking up gaming resources.

why you thing that is has to "max out everything". first of all it must prevent from overheating disable all these games servises and you will that ot will become much more smoother. ( on exynos especialy)
