[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
We should be able to if what applications optimised for Tegra 2 and Tegra 3 have shown means anything. You might also want to keep in mind that Halo: Combat Evolved was released 2001-11-15, and H:CEA will be a remake not a re-release. A bigger point of concern is the game like many was likely made for a very different processor and likely optimized for weaker or comparable desktop GPUs.

What I would be most interested in, is how something like the programming model for a Tegra SoC compares to the GeForce's in a PC, and contrasted against the programming model used on e.g. the SGX543's in the iPad 2 and PS Vita.

It's not as powerful as modern desktop chip by far but if it lets expertise at optimizing for the GeForce cards on a PC, be used on these ULP GeForce bits, more so than other stuff like PowerVR or Adreno, it's more likely we could see better THD products but less likely we're to see such products at all.

Wikipedia shows the Tegra 2 SoC used in most such tablets runs at 333Mhz and yields a bit over 5 GFLOPS. By contrast the GeForce 8400 GS from 2007, is noted as over 40 GFLOPS and a 450 Mhz core and much faster memory -- and I can tell you that the 8400 GS was a piece of crap. It could scale up to 2009-2010 games at a moderate resolution if you will willing to turn down graphics quality but it sucked hard.

From what I see as a consumer, I would expect Tegra 3 to fall somewhere between a Playstation 2 and a GeForce 4 Ti on performance. It's no 7800 GTX baked into a quad core CPU. Never tried optimizing a game for Tegra and I don't know anyone who has, but I wouldn't expect to push it much harder ^.

I like... TF Prime 1.6 Ghz

Quadrant 4983! Thats what i like...

This thing is so fast... the content it could provide is lacking because the "content providers" are not up to the task... I dont need faster cpu`s or gpu`s! I need a way to use them...

not the gaming industrie... where are all these genius Tegra Games? not the film industrie... where can i plug my blueray in?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
Actually I agreed with Electro over Deman until I read the OP's question again. He did not ask whether IPAD had a better GPU he asked whether Prime had a better graphics experience. While everything that Electro said was correct it did not truly address the original question.

"Is tegra 3 better in graphics than ipad 2?"

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

I just looked again at the title where the OP specifically mentions GPU so the whole question was confusing
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Lol. Ipad2 does best out a prime gpu in a couple individual benchmark sections. Prime overall is still more powerful. A developer made the analogy like this, ipad2 might be better St making simple games, if you want something more complex with better graphics n better 3D, then Tegra3/Prime is what you want. Ill stick with tegra3. If people looking for an overpowered Angry birds then get an ipad2..lmao. I like pick up n go games but way too many out there now. Now its time for the more complex console quality games to drop. Like Shadowgun THD has shown. The games will be coming soon enough. We have to remember Prime/Tegra3 is barely a lil over a month old now. We have to give it time. There's no rush. Applications n games still catching up to making the most out of tegra2 power..lol that's shah I've always said. Higher specs don't mean much until the apps n games start dropping to make the most of it.

Goes to show that android fanboys can be just as clueless as apple fanboys (and if you take that personally...well). The Imgtec PowerVR GPU in the ipad2 (and iphone 4s) is crazy powerful, far more than the half assed GPU on the tegra 3. I hate to be devils advocte here (I do love my prime) , but do some research on the tegra 3, and you'll see pretty quickly how many shortcuts nvidia had to take in order to get it to market on time.

Go take out an ipad 2 and play some (optimized) games on it, the difference is quite obvious. Yes, the tegra 3 is quite a good processor, with a decently good GPU. Yes, the tighter pixel density on the prime partially negates the need for any level of anti aliasing. Yes nvidia is making a handful of games that are completely optimized for it, but that doesnt change the hardware. Funny how quick people are to point out benchmarks when they go their way, but talk about how "useless" they are when they don't.

And the reason that no other chipset maufacturer (Quall, TI, Sammy, etc.) is using the 543, and its obvious superiority, is because apple signed an agreement with Imagination Technologies to be the exclusive consumer of the chipset. Luckily for us, this exclusitivity ends with Imgtecs next offering, the SGX 544. On top of that ARMs in-house Mali GPUs are looking to compete on level with Imgtec, so that potentially puts out two monster GPUs that could be coming out this year. Part of the reason people are so misinformed about GPU performance is due to it's obscurity, so chipset manufacturers have been getting away with sticking crap GPUs on their chipsets...as long as the number of CPU cores and GHz is high, people don't bat an eyebrow. That being said, if it makes you feel better, the tegra 3, has one of the most powerful GPUs of any android device on market (pretty similar to the mali400 on exynos 4xxx devices, but ill give nvidia the optimization advantage since we're looking at high performance end)

If you do happen to be one of the few that care about GPU performance, it will come as good news to you that TIs next generation of chipsets will have the SGX 544 GPU, which will finally put android on a competing edge with apple for GPU performance; however, TI has also made it clear that none of their next generation chipsets will be a quad core... So, it's a tradeoff. All I know is that I'm jumping off the nvidia boat as soon as optimized low power process quad core chipsets start hitting market, I appreciate them being prompt in getting their product to market, but I don't appreciate their business ethic.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hairdewx:
Mobile hardware is far outpacing mobile software.

The lower hardware specs are usually the target performance profile to ensure more compatibility and a larger consumer base.

That said the TFP has greater potential to use more of it's "power" in apps and games because of the developer support nVidia is providing.

iPad 2 and iPad 3, etc, will be waiting a while longer, especially since the iPhone 3gs is still a target platform.

It's not about theoretical performance anymore with mobile hardware, it's how they are used in practice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
There seems to be a lot of fanboy-ish things here.

The Tegra 3 has 4 cortex A9 cores and the iPad 2 has two A9 cores.

Now, the graphics capability of Tegra 3 and the SGX543MP2 are really good. They are incredibly close on benchmarks but that doesn't matter.

Believe it or not, the A4 chip the iPad 1 and iPhone 4 have extremely similar graphical capabilities to that of the Playstation 2. So theoretically, all devices that are equal or greater can run GTA 3 (PS2 ported game). Remember, emulation requires a lot more processing power.

Apple is not pushing for the most powerful CPU, but always pushing for the fastest GPU.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
The Prime/Tegra3 isn't just one of the most powerful in Android market, IT HAS THE MOST POWERFUL CPU & GPU IN ANDROID MARKET TODAY. And probably until summertime at the earliest.

Plus Ipad2 optimized games are crap. They basically look exactly the same as my ipad1. Not any night n day difference. Not our fault if they too dumb not to optimize all their games for the chipset. Anyways the gpu all ipad2 has to brag. TEGRA3 CPU alot more powerful than ipad2 CPU and the Tegra3 GPU still good enough to compete with it. So Tegra3 powerful CPU + GPU makes it a more of an overall powerhouse compared to ipad2. Ill take Prime/tegra3 more powerful CPU/gpu combo any day over an ipad2 with a good gpu n piss poor CPU. Its really about the overall package. Prime easily beats ipad2 out.

Now run back to apple forums n tell them I said that. Ya apple land loverr...lmfao
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hairdewx:
They pretty much had to go for a buff GPU to support the retina display resolutions with no noticeable performance loss.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brennanyama:
See, the point I'm making here is that the GeForce GPU on the tegra 3 is VASTLY inferior to the PowerVR GPU on the ipad 2/iphone 4s. They are not incredibly close on benchmarks or real world performance no matter how you want to look at it. Chipset manufacturers have been getting away with (frankly) crap GPUs for years now, and I find it sickening, especially considering how Android has always been known to offer superior hardware options over other platforms. Hate me or love me for bringing it out into the open, but facts are facts.

(And technically the Tegra 3 has five A9 cores, but since we're talking performance and not battery optimization, it's effectively four)

1) Learn the rules, you've been reported. This is a forum for adults, not a playground for kids.

2) The OP asked specifically about the GPU on the transformer prime versus the ipad, not which you think is "better". Specifically to that end, the ipad is significantly superior. If poining out this truth makes me a "troll who has or should get an ipad and join your dimwitted brethren on some obscure apple*** Forum", then fine, but realize my level of intellect, or which forums I decide to spend my time on is completely irrelevant.

1) The Transformer Prime has THE most powerful CPU on the Android Market today. No one is arguing with that.

2) The Transformer Prime has one of the most powerful GPUs on the Android Market today. No one is arguing with that

3) The OP asked specifically about the GPU performance between the iPad 2 and the Transformer Prime. In this case, the GPU on the iPad 2 is significantly superior. This is NOT a discussion about which is an overall better device, or which device you would rather own, it is a specific discussion on the GPU performance of the two devices. Before you comment on the the graphics performance of the iPad 2, I suggest you first go use one. And if you call the CPU on the ipad 2 "piss poor", you're also calling the CPU on pretty much every single android device in existence piss poor as well (lest the few that are "slightly better than piss poor"...if you appreciate the battery drain of stock O/Cs), but that's largely irrelevant. The Tegra 3 CPU can be a 50 core CPU for all that matters, that's doesn't change the fact that it's irrelevant towards GPU performance, and thus, irrelevant towards this discussion.

That being said, I'll be sure to run back to my apple land loving friends and guffaw at their complete stupidity :eek:

While this is true, the iphone 4s runs a 960 x 640 res, and the ipad 2 runs a 1024 x 768 res, both of which are lower than the 1280 x 800 res on the TF201. If the intention were to simply get enough processing power to run the increased resolution, a cheaper GPU would have sufficed. But apparently Apple found it necessary to include a monstrously strong GPU, so that should tell us something...a trend that I wish android manufacturers would follow.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
FAIR enough. See your point. But regardless of thread title, ill take the better overall package. I have an Ipad also and have used the ipad2. So i know the differences between those 2 pretty well. The difference In gaming graphics between the two on same games, one regular ver . And other ipad2 optimized version, is hardly anything to brag about. Only real benefit is they finally can hook up to t.v. through HDMI. Perfect example infinity blade 2 on my Ipad vs. Ipad2 optimized version of infinity blade2. Both games look like basic carbon copies of each other. Ipad2 has a "little" bit more detail and some better shadings. It doesn't run any better or faster on ipad2 vs. On my ipad1. Ipad1 still pushes all the same games easily and look just as great. That's why I never bothered with ipad2. The so called upgrade in performance overall wasn't shown really in ipad2. Everyone knows about the crappy front n rear cam it has so no real killer features to make me want to upgrade Ipad2 supposed exclusives like imovies and garageband is nothing. I have both hacked onto my ipad1 and work great. I really like my ipad1. Used it basically for 2yrs. W/o wanting another device. That's until the limitations really set in. Even hacked, jailbroken, and modded, it can only do half of the things Android does out the box. It was a no brainer when Prime came onto the scene. Hands down beat out Ipad and ipad2 overall. Plus their accessories too overpriced..lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] monkey10120:
I don't like how these post are basing everything off benchmarks. First of all each processor was tested on completely different os. Ios and android run in completely different ways. Has anyone seen benchmarks for a gpu on win and mac. Not a synthetic bench mark a real game running fraps. Win us always 1.5-2x better (rarely 2x) but this proves my point. Now if you slapped an A5 in a prime and did a benchmark then it would be more valid.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Notice that I did not mention the GPU, I said in general. Before you go around reporting people and white knighting, maybe you should actually read comments. So, I suppose your intellect level was also a farce. I suppose it is against the rules to express opinion. Just like my home country, communist china!

I was thinking about purchasing this drive but not sure if the tablet will read it.. I know my laptop would obviously.

So today I decided to unroot my phone so i used the following method http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/ which includes the SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip

let i found out it didn't flash the stock kernel so i turned to odin, so when i tried to flash the .tar file from odin through download mode, it was stuck on setting up connection for like 20 mins and finally when my computer force closed the odin program, and my phone turned off.

After this my phone wasn't turning on at all what so ever no download mode, recovery or anything

and my computer reads it as OHUSB_DLOAD

i didn't have any roms installed either before i was always on stock but rooted

any ideas or is it fully bricked

thanks guys

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] oyaxai:
odex is dependent on ROMs.

If the rom which odex+apk come from and yours are not exactly the same,

those files cannot be used just by copying to your device.

You should download your device's stock rom, mount it, and get those files.

Or, deodex mothod will work.

I had to bring this topic back from the dead.

If ODIN was written by samsung and my phone died when I was flashing during ODIN and is now stuck in a boot vibration mode (I can't get into download or etc) - Refer to my Q&A thread here, could I just bring my phone in to T-Mobile and ask for a warranty exchange??

Every time I insert the battery, it will show the attached image, and then die.

I CANNOT go into recovery OR download mode at all. The phone will not stay turned on long enough for me to do that.
