Now don't get me wrong, it's still quite playable, but I'm comparing the performance on CM10 to the performance when I was on CM7.
Back when I was on CM7.2, I still played on the lowest graphics settings possible for Dead Trigger. This was because I was after the buttery smooth, close to 60FPS frame rate; on medium or high settings, Im guessing I'd only get about 35-40.
After I updated to CM10 nightly official, I never experienced a single second of the pure smoothness on the LOWEST graphics setting.
It'd be like playing on medium or high settings, except for the fact that it was actually on low...
What do you guys think could be the problem? One of my main concerns is the low RAM; on CM 7.2, on average I had 180-210 MB free. Now on CM10, on average its 120-150. I don't use any particularly RAM consuming apps apart from Viber perhaps, but that didn't affect my RAM on CM7 much at all.
I assume it's the RAM.

In my experience, the games in CM10 runs, at least, as good as in CM7. Maybe you had an custom (overclocked) kernel in CM7 ?

No, I definitely not have an over clocked processor on CM7...
Like I said, I'm almost sure that it's caused by the low amount of RAM our phone has. If our phone gets down to like 30mb RAM it starts to lag pretty bad in games (at least that's what I noticed. If the game is running and uses so much RAM that it gets filled up almost entirely). The overall performance drops a bit too but our phone remains smooth.

In my opinion the blame is on ram. When my phone has little ram, games have more lag in the begining of the game. When ram is empty, the game is lagless...

I'am shure our perfect dev's will build oc kernel with ramhack and zram so we can enjoy all games and demanding app's :good:
i too experience lag while playing asphalt7 on cm10....it used to work fine on pa jb..
dead trigger works very fine for me, better than was on cm7. The fact is i don't heave many aplications installed, and i assume maybe this will be the explenation.
Yeah I am finding firefox more laggy on CM10 compared to CM7.....I assume this is due to having less free memory on CM10
One advice,install systemtuner app,turn off the process you don't want to startup wih phone and also freeze some apps you don't want to eat your memory
Restart phone after that and you can have free about 188mb at startup for demanding games
Yes, im use ram booster, and not have problem lags

Hi im thinking of buying a nice phone for playing games is xperia t right thing. How are games like modern combat 4 , nfs most wanted, spiderman, dark knight rises running on this device . Plz give a quick response
Out of the box, it works OK until it gets hot. There have been numerous threads about thermal throttling kicking in after a while and killing performance - do a search rather than creating an 'urgent' new thread next time.
Having said that, if you are prepared to root then this thread may keep your performance up:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1937329
This phone gets HOT when playing games? i thought its 28nm cpu will stay cool. Should i buy xperia T or should i buy htc one XL for gaming
by the way i researched alot and could not find a similar threat.
Most new phones have some sort of heat issue and thermal throttling. I would recommend trying the games on the handsets to see exactly what you feel about it.
Sent from my Xperia T using Tapatalk 2
I am running now at 192 - 1458MHz, both cores always on, when the heat is going over about 65°C, CPU is throttled to 1188MHz (and less), still with both cores on. When I am gaming a little longer, CPU temperature is going up to 75°C and battery temperature does not exceed 50°C while connected to wall charger.
All games I know are running smoothly this way.
These temperatures should be fine. If anything goes wrong with these temperatures, then it's a bad device.
Thing that is low on T, is RAM. I would recommend something with 2GB. I believe there will be games with 2GB requirement soon. And T has only 640MB available RAM for applications. And system is using about 300 - 400MB. The rest of RAM is low even for browser and low for future gaming, at least now in ICS.
And internal memory chip has not very good performance. For example SenseMe Slideshow (plastic frames) never makes smooth slideshow. Opening phone or SMS app takes almost 2 seconds. Opening NFS Most Wanted takes about 15 seconds (and this procedure kills all opened apps, very nice. Etc.
I am not telling it's a bad device, I like it (except wifi, that one drives me mad. But I recommend something else for heavy gaming.

Out of curiosity, ¿what rom/kernel combo are you using?. I'm interested in undervolting and underclocking my device.
I used Siyah kernel while I was on Timin8r's stock rom, but now I'm running AOKP and I don't know any current kernel compatible with that.
Siah kernel, but works on stock kernel too (except 192MHz). Values are changed manually.
i have already ordered the Xperia T But hope that it will not dissapoint me Devices with 2GB are out of my reach and in my country i found xperia T the fastest in my current budget
You won't be disappointed. It is good device. But has some disadvantages. Just like other devices.

Its got f*** all to do with ram. 1gig is enough. We get full effects like the galaxy s3, and as mentioned in earlier comments adjusting the throttling works wonders. This game never lags for me.

Gameloft have started adding graphics setting to their games which is a good move, so I imagine MC5 will have them. Dunno about dead trigger 2 but they normally optimize their games well. I have a lot of games, they all work fine after reducing the thermal throttling. Only problems you might face is games being unavailable such as a few flu titles, but device spoofing takes care of that. My phone sometimes shuts down from online gaming because the battery can't take the stress, but as long as the throttle allows 12420000 or lower it rarely happens unless battery is low. Plus a friend is trying to make a fix for it, by putting out a voltage based on averages, rather than having a voltage that is too high then it dropping too low under pressure . Also its the same chip as USA version of GS3

Dead Trigger 1 plays smooth on my Cortex A5 800Mhz and Adreno 200. :\ Few lags here and there but nothing noticeable... I think this will handle Dead Trigger 2... Subway Surfers lags like hell though.
How about N.O.V.A 3 and MC4? I just worry about constant non-playable frame rates. I can't judge by YouTube. Do you get smooth experience with Adreno 225?

GTA VC is pretty much unplayable with extreme stutter and low frame rates, carmageddon suffers from the same, and NFSMW and real racing 3 have low frame rates. max payne 3 has passable framerates though.
anyone else's xperia z performs absolutely terribly at 3d gaming? it was like this on stock; nothing changed with FXP CM10.1. is this a software or hwardware issue? i think a quadcore with adreno 320 should be performing much better than this.

I dont know, some people might tell you its the 1080p issue screen that is causing the lagging but I dont think its that. was your phone hot while trying to play? the cpu might be down clocking due to heat.

it does get pretty warm, but i'm not sure cpu throttling would cause it become that slow, especially when the rest of the UI is fine. in fact, it stutters and is slow even before the phone gets hot.

I am not suffering this issues, or at least not so badly.
GTA VC is marked as not compatible with XZ in Play Store, anyway I have it and it works perfectly, it is like 20 to 30 fps, but perfectly playable, in fact it runs faster than it was in PS2, but with much better graphics.
Carmageddon is butter-smooth, it feels like 60 fps all the time, I am at number 63 in the classification and enjoying it so far.
Real Racing runs at about 25fps but perfectly playable.
And I have not tested NFSMW or Max Payne.
EDIT: I have just tried GTA VC, the first time I try it after. 253 update, and I am impressed of how smooth it is, I think it is running between 5 to 10 fps faster than before. Not perfect, but very, very playable

I have NFSMW and runs not smooth at all but still playable. Atm i'm installing GTA VC to told you how runs on my XZ.
Take a look at this:
GTA VC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy0h5OU-FAA
NFS MW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3uJP1H6qkc
Real Racing 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSg0dId9BAc
i think mine runs a little bit better than this, since .253 update. Also some apps thap reviously crashed when enabling experimental GPU acceleration, now work perfectly. If yours is running worst than on this videos, then there is something bad with your phone/software.
PS: the videos do not belong to me, they are just random youtube videos i have found.
So I decided to write this post because I've haven't find any helpful posts about it. Sometimes I wanna take full advantage of this quad-core device
and enjoy HD games and when I say that I don't mean on sitting on it for 5hours and expect it to run all the games perfect n smooth but I wonder
why on my device (full stock) in games like gta vice city, gta III, real racing 3 even sometimes asphalt 7 I experience frame issues especially gta
vice city which I expected to run smooth when I lower graphics a bit i get so bad frame drops and the games like n. o. v. a 3 and modern combat
4 run perfectly smooth with decent Fps. So first I thought guess gta isn't maybe well optimized for xperia z but then when I searched over YouTube for some gameplay of same games they ran alot smoother on same stock version of xperia z. So what's the difference I've downloaded all the latest versions of these games restarted phone before running and disabled stamina battery mode but still the same thing. Always the same frame issuses and they are not just a little ones sometimes makes game so un enjoyable and leggy especially gta vice city. So I would appreciate any helpful opinion or advice or am I really starting to regret for getting this phone not just because few games Lagg only on my device
there are many other stuff but I won't write about them in this post ( I am running all the games from internal memory not using SD card yet) So
I wonder do I really need to root my phone and flash it with some light pure preformamce custom room to get decent preformamce of this games?
Thanks for reading and looking forward for some helpful answers thanks.
That highly depends on what apps you have installed into your phone.
Have you test with only the stock rom with default apps ?
Hmm
I consider about factory reset since to be honest most of my internal memory is filled with games I am testing and I have like only 10%free space
even less but I don't think it affects so much of preformamce of games 1gb of free space should be enough I guess as for other apps I don't really have alot of them downloaded most of them came with the phone itself. Since I am not really into all of the custom roms and all that expert I only thought about factory reset and getting decent class sd card but thought since ppl on YouTube used stock room and got smooth let's say decent
Gameplay guess I should too well. I'll wait for some more replies before factory also I am a bit worried bcs I read a post from one guy that there could some software
Problem with the phone on some1 else post that had the same problem with certain games so I am very thankful on fast thankful advices

It's affect the performance of course, also many process may occur if you have a ton of useless app on your phone, seriously 1gb free space? Ridiculous... I can't believe that you need all that space and you play all of your that games all the time.
Well the internal memory is 11,73gb with out sd card I've downloaded few hd games and few casual for testing and maybe putting video of gameplay on yt well yeah and one hd game takes 2gb like nova guess I am going for factory reset and I'll try to download gta only and see how it preforms

The lag in the games what I guess is caused by the underclocking of ur cpu due to the heating and stuff..in my xz,when I start the game everything runs smooth but after an hour or so,when the phone heats up..sometimes I feel a little lag,just a little..I play in a cooler place,the lags reduce a lot..well,every game I've ever played lagged at some point..

Anyhow, unlocking the bootloader doesn't mean voiding your warranty forever. You can lock it again before sending the phone for repairs if it ever needs service.
I bought this phone in the amazon deal a month ago and went directly to marshmallow in the first day.
The problem is I've noticed a lot of stutter from the get go in games like asphalt 8 and dead trigger 2 with no apps opened in the background, I even wipe the cache partition and factory reset the phone to not avail. My brothers nexus 5 runs asphalt 8 flawlessly and its on marshmallow so, whats wrong?.

honestly with no kernel mods the phone looks absolutely pitiful when it comes to graphics, animations, etc as for those games idk maybe try lowering settings I don't really have much experience in the way of phone gaming. Though the N6 is pushing more pixels with 1440x2560 vs 1080x1920 of the N5. N6 you have could also be thermal throttling. The kernel also underclocks as the battery gets lower down to a measly 1.5ghz 2 cores only and 300mhz graphics at 15% battery, down from 2.6ghz x4 cores and 600mhz graphics. Some things to think about until someone else comes back with some first hand feedback.

The resolution is a strange thing on the N6. My website is displaying the innerWiidth and -Height as 600 x 891. And that with a dpi of 384. When I change the dpi to Google's default, it is worse.
I think android and apps do not support the full resolution 1440 x 2560.

The stutter is right at the beginning of gaming not after gaming sessions.
It is pushing more pixel but, it has a more powerful gpu, check the review of this phone on gsmarena, go to the oncreen gpu benchmark, the performance against the xperia z3 (adreno 330) is very similar.
Lets say the adreno 420 gpu is not capable of pushing those many pixel, even then, my problem is heavy stuttering not average low fps.
Edit: Just reduced the settings in asphalt 8 from high to very low, same stuttering issue now with really low graphics.

lack of game optimization or thermal throttle might be the culprit, try to use gamebench and see the gpu utilization.

I just googled your reply, it seems like my phone has to be rooted for doing that and its not.

oh.. yea, you need root to be able to adjust governor/scheduler. but, its too bad, as other stock users report the same thing with certain games.

is there a known ideal dpi for 1920*1080??

About 390. That's why I am using 384, because 384 dpi sets the N6 in tablet mode.
(N6 screen 2560 x 1440 pixels or 4.90 x 2.76 inches.)

Well, I thought the stutter in games happen because for some reason the OS, the API, or whatever refuses to use the resources available when heavy apps (3d games) are running, then I expected the same results when another kind of similar heavy lifting was needed (3d benchmarks) , I was wrong.

I find that I can get rid of stuttering by changing the way the CPU works. I actually have never seen it stutter at all, considering that I change how the CPU works every single boot up. it just takes some time playing with the different governors and schedulers available. I use ondemand/deadline for example. anyways, yea, benchmarks don't really show stuttering
When i had the phone on lolipop i never had stutter issues just bad battery life. It might be marshmallow related .
