So far i haven't experienced lag in any games, be it with the stock or custom roms, no overclock..
GTA3 is the only game that lags?

FIFA12 and this phone?

is it me or i can't get 100% smoothness while playing this fifa 12 on this phone
if anyone had played it, can you tell me that it is universal problem for this phone? or is it just mine?
cuz I had stock before and games tends to run choppy including fifa 12, but after I rooted and install codename (a jelly bean enhanced rom), games runs faster, HOWEVER fifa 12 remains the same choppiness
I had a samsung SKYROCKET before, and it runs super smooth, the S3 handles it very quick too :/

Works fine for me

Asphalt 7 lagging

Hello,
Anyone else experience laggy gameplay in Asphalt 7?
I have seen youtube videos and review showing this to run very well on the Razr i but I experience lag whenever there are other cars on screen. I have tried factory data resetting and reinstalling but there is no difference.
I have ran benchmarking and the epic citadel etc and my handset performs at the expected levels based on others' running these tools. Anyone got any clues?

I know man, I got a refund after one game!

Are you sure it´s not impression? Use an app like FPS Meter to see how many FPS do you get, so who got a Razr i can compare using same app to see if it´s a problem with your phone. Try to flash a newer ROM, or something..

I confirm Asphalt 7 lags. A LOT!!
My sister also has a Razr I, I tried to download Asphalt 7 on her Razr and it lagged as well.
From what I have read, it is some issue regarding last Asphalt 7 update along with the x86 processor, but I can not confirm that.
Can anyone else confirm this? Game is almost unplayable on my Razr I.

Really? What Asphalt 7 version are you running?
It is completely unplayable on mine, just tried to run it with about 500mb free RAM, and it ran like crap, with a lot of lag.
MC4 runs just fine. I have not tried Nova 3 though.

modern combat 4

I own these 2 games. They run better on min 1gb ram devices. Not advisable on the i9003. Sad to say, It's not about the ROM.. It's about the device.

Played NFS:MW and the game is good on our device (small lag, not annoying). But, the game is feel good on this days phone.

Wow... You really must have good eyesight. I'm using a 10 inch for NFS and a 7 inch for MC4... I used to play games on my i9003 2 years ago but now it's just for calls & whatsapp.

Thanks. Well, I put some test while playing the game and the results are quite good (very good for 2011 phone). The game sometime freeze when you play it. Test it with X-Gamerz V.2.2.
The test on CM 10.1 is a same like X-Gamerz, but have the game is bit slow and the Kernel 3 doesn't make any good to the game. I never played MC 4 on phone because the SL is not good for 3D FPS and my SD Card memory almost out (2GB left from 7,65GB)
BTW, I played Real Racing 3 yesterday, when I start playing the tutorial mission 2, the game loading and suddenly close it self (sort of FC but without any message) Does anybody experienced this weird bug? Gonna test this bug on CM 10.1.

I played MC4 on cm10 alpha 4 and stock ddlf2,. Theres a random lags worst on ddlf2 so laggy. for now i used my sl for call, text and video playback. On other hand on my ipod touch 4g (my current gaming device) which is only 800mhz, higher resolution and a half less ram(256mb) compared to our sl. I got 60-125mb of ram on ios 6. Can run MC4 and other heavy games such infinity blade 2 etc flawlessly with no lags.

I heard that Apple's apps written with the system native language. That's why there's no lag on iOS.

Bad graphics on games

I've been trying some games on my GT p3110 and I've noticed the graphics are pretty weak compared to other devices', games such as The Dark Knight Rises, MC4 and others. I'm uploading some printscreens of Blitz Brigade I took while playing. Check out the outlines of the shapes..Are your graphics better than this or it's normal on this device?

Our tab isn't the best option for games... maybe its normal for our tab.
the Nexus 7 with Tegra 3 is the best gamer tab!

First of all post high res pics .
And secondly i have tried many games(almost all good ones)
I don't see any graphics issue leaving games like real racing 3 which set graphics intensity according to devices(which can be set to high with some patches after which it too works great).

Some games allow me to increase or decrease the graphics quality.But, on Dungeon Hunter 4, for example, my only choices are Low and Very Low quality... why is that?

I guess they read the device specifications and automatically they include only resolutions that the device would run

hey ur pics arent normal i play blitz brigade on my tab 2 p3113 and its better than that

But if they choose the graphical options automatically, why our devices run the same games at differently? Also, when I was playing Dungeon Hunter I could only switch between very low graphics and low graphics....why can't I choose better graphics?

U can probably do something similar with other games!
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium

If you run custom ROMs like CyanogenMod or flash a custom kernel such as KK, you realise that most graphic issues are resolved. The problem lies mostly with the outdated/poor implementation of PowerVR drivers in Samsung's stock ROM. Custom ROMs & kernels are using newer drivers.

HM I tried to do that with the game in example (Real Racing 3) and it worked but I don't see how to do that with other games

There's some patching tool for Modern Combat 4 that can tweak the graphics if I recall. I think you can check in the HTC One X forum.
But that's beside the point, the main point being that the PowerVR SGX540 GPU is starting to feel a little underpowered as it shows its age. Even if you could force the games to run on high or max settings, performance would take a big hit, in some cases, the game slows to an unplayable pace.
The reason why there are patches, tools & mods to manually tweak graphics settings is because of the fragmented nature of Android, some devices have powerful hardware but have not been properly supported by the game developer yet.
---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------
By the way, I have checked out the screenshots in this thread, they seem fine?
I would recommend the threadstarter to check out these games on other PowerVR SGX540 devices for a better comparison. If these games look better on other PowerVR SGX540 devices, then it would warrant further investigation.
As I mentioned already, the stock Samsung firmware for P31xx uses older PowerVR drivers according to various modders. By switching to custom ROMs or kernels that implement newer PowerVR drivers, users have reported better graphic performance/compatibility in games.

Well i had bad graphics with brotherhood of violence
I had installed brotherhood of violence game and was surprised to see the difference in graphics between s2 and tab2 for the same game. Graphics were soo terrible that i had tp uninstall the game from my tab and had to play on s2....
Well one possibility to have better graphics is to overclock the gpu(more computations per second) and then use patches for higher settings in games... as previously mentioned in the thread some developers ( mainly gameloff) seriously cap the performance...
u can use any custom kernel like kk's blackhawk/next kernel or dhollem kernel to overclock the GPU... see their respective threads for more info..
Our tabs GPU is clocked at 304mHz by default in stick and cm... these kernels allow overclocking 384mHz and 512mHz..
so the problem of frame rate drops when using patches can be solved by overclocking the GPU...
But we need to remember that Powervr540 is at least 4 yr old technology( i first saw it in galaxy s)... so we need to cut it some slack...
Cheers
