If your definition of "fine" is 20fps.. then sure.

Why do people keep mentioning optimization for every game that does not run well on this device?

optimization is not magic. In this case it would probably mean lowering the resolution, texture quality, and shader effects etc. making the game look worse in order to run well.

Please don't tell me you believe all that nvidia "Powerful beastly QUAD COAR 4+1 w/ TWELVE GPU COARS!!!" marketing rubbish.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ridearoundsolo:
Why do games like shadow gun and dead trigger run great then? Madfinger seems to know how to make games for tegra 3 with the extra effects
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
Because optimisation is needed. Look at gameloft. There games are not optimised for this device. Its a fact. Nfs most wanted is not either. Ea have said they are working on it. And lowering graphics etc is gamelofts way. (The wrong way) optimising a game for this device means configuring the code to work properly with our device. Simples ;)

I use fps meter with nfs mw and its 25-35 fps with stock gpu clock and 30-40 on 484 mhz gpy ..so its very smoth for me..on this resolution tegra 3 is very capabile.

From gamelooft I have asphalt 7 and wild blood and they play smooth also ..for others like nova i dont have so did not try..

But many things depend on rom and kernel
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] TheGoD:
AFAIK the main problem is that tegra based chips in difference to most other mobile gpu's doesn't scale good if the 3D-scene is rendered back-to-front, same as pc chips. The gpu of Tegra 2/3 is NV40 based.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Nospin:
If I wanted I could make a crazy awesome looking game that runs smooth as hell on Tegra 3 devices and like crap on the GNote 2, and I could. Optimization for certain chip sets is ENTIRELY the problem. Why do gameloft games not run well on tegra devices? They don't optimize them. Why do a couple games run around 40fps on a freaking single core Desire HD and just barely over 20 on a tegra 3? Optimization.

It isn't a magic word, it works. And thus you have discovered the weakness of the Android platform. With so many different chip sets it is impossible for devs to cover all of them.

Nah. I'm just disappointed with Tegra3 gpu performance. That is all.

Will wait and see if dev updates improve performance.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
I know it seems like the gpu performance is bad....but its not. Look at beach buggy blitz for example. Its tegra optimized, has great graphics and runs very sweet. Dead trigger also, tegra optimized runs sweet also has great graphics. And riptide...same story. There are many more devs who have done the same and there apps/games run great.

But you get some half assed devs like gameloft who are too lazy to even optimise even after so many updates in there games and make our device look like it cant perform up to scratch.

Its not our device thats the problem its down to the coding of the apps/games, nothing we can do about it appart from harras them to optimize, otherwise they think everything is all gravy and wont bother.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CJHolderUK:
You have to buy 2 versions of the game? One for your N7 and another for your phone, wow Rovio, do you think we're as stupid as Apple customers?

**** you Rovio you've lost a sale. I will not support a company who does this, Android is designed so we shouldn't have to buy "HD" versions of games, they should all work under any screen size and resolution.

Ooops, my bad. Only had 3 hours sleep :3

Non-HD version is for free, but still it is unclear to me what is the difference between both.

So both HD versions (paid) and non-HD versions (free) you still gotta pay for the Path of the Jedi levels, wtf? That seems kinda greedy by Rovio, especially for those that paid for the HD version :(

BTW: Does the Play Store have some kind of Black Friday sale or Cyber Monday?

Ok, so is there ANY benefit for buying the HD version of Angry Birds Star Wars? Is it at least Ad free?

Rovio seems to have a problem understanding that their games scale fine on Android, eliminating the need for an HD version. I have no problem paying for ad free (I did for Angry Birds Space), but I'm not paying for slightly larger menus.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CJHolderUK:
Yes? When you get further in the game you unlock their "modding" system, albeit not a very good one, it allows you to install stuff like more efficient boost, reinforced body work and other things to either strengthen the car or make it faster. You'll need to repurchase these "mods" every time you start an event, I'm not too sure if this is a bug or just their way of making you use the IAP to get more money when you're low. It's a pretty ****ty "mod" system and hope it gets improved. I'd hardly call them mods but that's what EA defines them as...

Tegra is a weird chipset from my understanding. It can perform great, as seen from madfinger, and other games but stuff has to be written specifically for it where as snapdragons, omaps, and exynos chipsets are pretty much only limited by their hardware. Anything they should run they will run.

Angry birds stars wars is ok for a little bit before it's gets boring and makes me want to throw up. Rovio is showing they have nothing in the creative tank imo. Deadzone is fun but some of the changes kind of suck. What's up not being able to move your turret after it's been placed? Only one mine per life sucks. Man deadzone was so much fun before these updates. Charge 7bucks and let's let the iap philosophy die.

To "enable" developer options, which are simply hidden in 4.2...you have to go into Settings > About Tablet - Then, tap "Build Number" about 8-10 times. It will unlock the developer options.

I found the developers opinions quite interesting, Tegra 3 optimised games (From Madfinger) run at 60fps where as every other chip is locked to 30. So if Gameloft utilised Tegra we would have a much better experience. :)
