Tegra 3 games on 2x

What do you think? Will those games run on tegra 2 at acceptable framerate? For transformer prime its 1024000 pixels vs 384000 for 2X. Maybe option to lower graphic settings.. if not i think it would be stupid move from nvidia and developers to throw away tegra 2 owners..

I'm pretty sure Tegra 2 will be able to run Tegra 3 games, and hopefully someone will hack them to run ot T2 (chainfire?).There is still plenty of juice in Tegra 2, and i didn't see it's full potential (Only Shadowgun is serious, but i don't think it fully utilitizes 2 cores).

Yup few days ago ive tried to run it underclocked at 615mhz silky smooth.

My guess is that tegra 2 would run anything tegra 3 polygon wise, but with reduced shaders quality/lightning/shadows.

Dead trigger can be played with full effects on our phones even tho it was a t3 req for highest quality setting in game...and it can run nova 3 also with full effects and i read somewhere that they got sonic4 running and thats a t3 exclusive

As it is possible to use tegra games on non tegra devices it shoud work.

Nova 3 lags like hell with full effects. T3 version of sonic was lagging too on t2. Sonic 4 is not t3 exlusive anymore.

[Q] can anyone tell me??

Is our processor that bad when compared to Tegra 2 ?:sly:
Because I played subway surfer and I can tell u that my incredible s can't play the game as smooth and fast and responsive as the atrix for example (Tegra 2 device)
I even overclocked my cpu to 1.8 but still there is a drop of frames per second and the game lags like hell
The atrix run the game so smoothly even if it's not clocked at 1 GHz (not over clocked)
I am so disappointed in my device
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app

Tegra is dual core, ours is single core. Ours is also a year older than the tegra. There's no nothing to be disappointed in because our phone is nearly 2 years old, and our processor 2 and a half years

i played subway surfer before but i never feel lag. FYI i play this game at stock speed.

Could u please tell me which ROM u r using and which kernel??

For games try hunterwu kernels. I think, extreme overclocking (1.8) is bad idea. Our processor can work normaly 1-1.4 GHz.

Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app

How does it work compared to GTA 3?
CPU/GPU/RAM are not only problems with such games, touchscreen only recognizes 2 touch points at the same time which degrades quality of playability by far (IMHO), but with bluetooth joypad (dualshock 3) is pretty much playable with all settings on low.

You should consider that HD2's chipset in 2009 was good as Adreno 320 today.
It's just old, it doesn't suck. When I had HTC Tattoo, I learned to live without Gpu so now, when I have it, it's good enough for me.

The fact that it's old doesn't change the fact that currently it sucks. It justifies the poor performance, but can't change it.

So this means that vice city doesn't work on hd2?

I agree with this guy, give up on trying to do HD gaming on an HD2. It has an awful GPU, you'll never get anything heavier than Temple Run to run at a high frame rate, and even that isn't anywhere near as smooth as on a 3rd gen iPod touch (don't know about the earlier versions).

No but nfs most wanted works perfectly on it why can it run gta :what:

S3 Mini Gaming performance and Battery (heat)

Is there a save way with software to increase better gaming performance?
and now i have my s3 mini on the charge,battery heat is 28-32C,when i play a game its 36C.is this good?

There are always ways of increaseing gaming performance like killing background apps, tweaks and others. About temperature, i think everything below 50 celsius is ok..

Im very curious how long can you play lets say Grand Theft Auto 3 or Shadowgun before the battery runs out? I want to buy this phone but I like to play games on my phones. I use to get like 4 hours on my Xperia Play, now on my HTC Sensation I can only play for about 1.5 hours before I get a warning message that the battery is almost depleted.

I think i can play gta vice city for a couple hours.but the point is the heat of my battery.
I managed to run nova 3 the game from gameloft on my phone but not running smooth and battery was 39c! If i do nothing battery is around 25-29c.
Do you know where i can find the security to move files from my internal sdcard?

How many fps did you get with nova 3? Those gameloft games arent exactly compatibile with our devices although the hardware is strong enough. I played gta3 and some mc4 (extreme lags, around 15 fps) and the device was a bit warmer, but nothing concerning.

I think they dont run smooth because of the gpu. Also i saw somewhere that our gpu has only support for ETC texture compression and alot of games use diffrent ones, now, i also heared you can recompile them to run on etc format, so maybe it was recompiled in a wrong way(?)
Also, did anyone manage to run 9mm without white textures?

From my dev knowledge, Gameloft optimizes their games for the phone.
As phone gets popular they more games get optimised.
Some of their latest games are compatible.

How emulators run on this device?

Hello, i dont have this phone yet but i have it on my list.
My question its how emulators run on this phone? I know tegra3 will have problems
with some apps on EA and gameloft but how it runs on emulators?
I dont mean snes,nes,sega...i mean on the heavy ones
Like n64oid, FPSE with opengl, PPSSPP, mame4droid reloaded or any experimental
emulator like Nintendo DS, Dreamcast, etc.
But mostly on n64 and FPSE with opengl its my question.
Because i want a new cellphone for emulators and youtube...and my current options
are this or motorola razr i
Thanks by the way, and sorry for my bad english.

I'm using PPSSPP a great and promising emulator of PSP and Dragonball Z Shin Budokai or Pes 2012 are lagfree however you have to change the settings to play with no lags.
I also tried Dsoid, a Nds emulator, which runs perfectly with all games I tried

Under settings go to the graphics settings and desactivate the buffered rendering this will improve a lot your graphics also active the stream VBO
I also choose the big buttons cause the buttons are too small for me

You can activate the buffered rendering, that will decrease your graphics but will improve the performance. You can also play with the settings of the app to see which configuration fits you perfectly.
You can change your governor to "performance" too.
I do not know this game but he may be a little bit to recent to work smoothly on our phone.
For example, I can play Pes 2013 but it is a bit laggy and i have to change de settings

If you want to reduce the heat, you can undervolt try different combination of scheduler and governor, that may solve your problem.
However, I have to admit that my phone heats up a lot when I play heavy games and charging (with fast charge) at the same time.
