Just got 100% yea me! But just wanted to compare performance.
I played mostly at 80% resolution and 80% draw distance. Max graphics with dynamic lighting.
Same settings I played the original GTA on and minus rain that experience was very smooth.
Anyway I would say it was relatively smooth sailing 25-35 ish fps (guessing) but some places like Little Hatti and at random times from just running around the game would start to crawl. I know this is a port though so...
Overall I was content and enjoyed the experience but was kinda thinking coming into the Nexus 5 I could play something like this with no drop off. Was that silly thinking?
Anyone else out there care to post their experience?
BTW I am stock rooted. No custom kernels yet.
I think the phone could do much better in a freezer.
With "TT" in account your results seem good but FPS will get consistently slower over time so best to play in short bursts. :good:
Governor settings.
Best setup for gtas'.. Lock on 2 cores only, kernel allowing, since the game only uses 2, this will keep heat down. Setup ondemand governor to non aggressive race back to zero settings.. down_differential 30, all up_thresholds' 70
I played for quite a while yesterday with no drop in performance at max settings, i had a couple of freezes but only in cut scenes, the audio was still playing but the video stopped. Not an issue for me though

Where was your resolution and draw at? 100%? Can you do me a favor and run through the little shacks and houses in little hati and tell me if your game crawls to a halt?
Um ok.... Won't be for awhile since I'm at work.... I don't think i have access to that area yet

Ok well when you make it to the second Island. Little Haiti is kinda set back some in the middle. The rundown part of town with all the gangs.
Ok

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.
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!
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)
Hello everyone.
I bought Xperia 5 III about 3 days ago. While playing PUBG Mobile or other games, the device reduces the refresh rate to 60hz even though it hardly gets hot. Is there a setting we can do to prevent this? For example, when you delete the software called Battery & Performance on MIUI devices, such problems did not occur.
I don't really play games but I noticed the overall UI seems smoother with high refresh rate off. Scrolling long feeds even YouTube is stuttering.once it's on 60hz everything is smooth. Can't explain it.

I recently upgraded my 5 II to a 5 III and although I still don't wanna believe it, it's getting pretty obvious that the phone throttles the FPS from 120 to 60 Hz. The Xperia 5 II only did this sometimes when you were charging and gaming simulatenously.
However with the 5 III it sometimes tends to throttle just when you are surfing through the net or using some apps. During gaming without charging it also throttles often.

That's the second time I read about 60 Hz feeling smoother but for me it's just so much worse.

This could be an issue that will be fixed soon. Other than that, one of the best things to do if you're a gamer like me is to get a very good cooler.

Actually, this is a case of eye habit. If you used a device or monitor with a refresh rate above 60Hz before, when you use 60Hz again after a long time, it seems like it lags etc. But since you haven't used a panel above 60Hz so far, 60Hz seems very different to you.

It's because the 5mk3's Snapdragon 888 generates far more heat than the 5mk2's Snapdragon 865.
