[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiD3991:
With some minor luck I came upon this thread, I'm a Nexus 4 user, and a battery-thirsty underclocker. I used Mali-400MP(S3), Tegra3(LGO4X) and then Adreno 320(N4).

Personally I realized a lot of games are created and built optimized for Samsung devices because of the huge fanbase, but when it comes to graphics, Mali-400 isn't cut out enough. A lot of games are downtoned so that even S2(I9100) now can play it because it shared the same GPU as the S3.

And to be honest, no graphics among Adreno, Mali, PowerVR and BroadcomMC(insider joke, yes please laugh till you fall off your chair), can even touch Tegra. But Tegra is too power hungry.

Quad-Core is overboard power for our tiny device, most processes only supports dual-core max so that it would not lose support to users using dual or below.

And Samsung's Octa-Core isn't really Octa at all, the real Octa out there is made by MTK, Mediatek.

Adreno's S800 is surely superior to any chipset out there right now, (aside that MTK Octa).

Above is only my personal opinion upon the should-be performance of the topic.

And again, NO GRAPHIC CAN BEAT TEGRA, if you disagree, even Apple can't save you. Hahahaha~

Happy 2014!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i9100g user:
Aside your gaming experiences with Mali 400 ( I don't know which s3 you played with and if it had latest Mali drivers or not or which game you are talking about ...etc)

Exynos 5420 and 5410 physically have 8 cores but they are not using the HMP model of Big.LITTLE which allows all 8 cores to run .

5410 has a hardware bug which which didn't allow both clusters(all 8 cores) to work together.But 5420 can have all 8 cores working but it is not going to because it is thermally-power constrained (with 4 A15 cores and 4 A7 cores) where as MTK octa core has 8 A7 cores (which requires a lot less energy and power)

It is sad that people fall for octa core marketing at the wrong time.

That MTK A7 "Octa" core has pretty bad single threaded performance and falls far behind in GPU power vs Adreno 330 I don't know where you got that conclusion from.

S800 is currently the ideal/most powerful soc in android world.

Only the exynos 5420 (with Mali 628 GPU) comes close to it (but lacks lte and isn't available world wide,lacks sources,uses less power efficient process )

Also there is Apple 's A7 which is arguably the best soc available in our handled devices right now.

Tegra 4 was a fail and every one knows.

/end of OT
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiD3991:
Well, its just an opinion, I never had my hands on that MTK anyway. :P I don't fall for the marketing, I just fall for the sake of having 8 bloody cores. Hahaha! And bloody true about the battery, my brother uses that and the battery can last for days, (a quad-core a7 chipset).

Everyone knows Tegra is a fail. But ONLY and ONLY graphic wise, Tegra can kick anyone's ass. Please tell me you agree on that! :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i9100g user:
So what are you going to do with so many cores? We barely use 4 threads at once let alone 8 threads on the other hand single thread performance would not be so good.

A7 cores may help save you battery but it lacks good single threaded performance vs krait 400 and A15 cores.

I don't think tegra 4 is worth at all even if it offers some games with better effects(what about games which are not optimised for tegra 4?),it is limited to tablets mostly and consumes huge amount of power because of A15 cores (w/o A7 cores like in big.LITTLE) even then it is unable to outperform Adreno 330 in smartphones.

Nvidia Shield costs 299$

And PS4 costs 399$ guess which one will you take.

I really hope they do better with Logan.

Again if you want to carry on this discussion then open a new thread or PM , let's not post more OT's here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmac31:
tegra 4 is great yes. but older tegras were bad. they had bad gpu until tegra 4. tegra effects can easly handle by mali400 (not dead trigger 2 tegra 4 effects ofc)

but dont forget tegra 4 not realy usable on phones and nvidia shield has cooler fan. and shield is running on 720p but my ipad air has 2k resolution and easly support tegra 4 graphics on dead trigger 2, so tegra 4 is not a big deal either. but one of the best gpu on android platform

A little OT:

Since we all are talking about GPU's, how's the GPU the powervr 544mp3 which is on galaxy s4?? Compared to adreno 320? I'll not compare that with mali as it'a new gpu
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiD3991:
Are you sure? Tegras are ACTUAL GPU's, their graphics are a blowaway(aside heat, price, processor performance). No graphic cards, and I do mean NONE, as for now, even including Adreno's 330 and Mali's T628 MP6 can't even go close. And Tegra 3 is enough to beat both of this.

Till today the best graphics I ever encountered on an Android device is still Tegra 3(since I never personally tested Tegra4).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballsofsteel:
If you read the first post I made on this page, I pointed out that Mali does indeed benefit from better optimization as it has a considerable market share of 2 Samsung flagship phones and the first two notes. I was making the argument that Adreno 320 is the better GPU, and against your claim that the Mali fill rate is higher by referring to benchmarks (which I do not actually care too much either).

Adreno 225 has garbage fill rate yes, but triangle output is important in games which make heavy use of geometry, and adreno 225 is a more balanced architecture.

Also, it's better not to pull GTA and free world games in as the rely on CPU power significantly as well, so we will be looking at the SoC (in which the S3 dominated in the CPU sector) as a whole package instead of GPUs.

Mali 400 was great in 2011, mediocre in 2012, but it does not hold a candle to late 2012/2013 GPUs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoteboyTech:
I guess, using a CM11 build with the dorimanx can play mc4 buttery smooth? or even cm10.2????? tested? AOSP ROms were always superior to TW.

Use a Light OS on s3 with a better kernel and compare!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmac31:
all gpus can handle that extra graphics you know right? you can activate them on other gpus too. like dead trigger 2 extra graphics only available for tegra 4 but u can activate them on other gpus too with cracked game. and all effects activated by default on high end apple devices too. so tegra isnt special.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

welll we pretty much say same thing but bettter gpu should act better too. not only on benchmarks thats what im saying. . about optimization adreno 320 is nearly 2 year old . and used by alot of devices too including nexus devices.

we can include everything since exynos 4 is weaker than s4 pro and s600 or higher cpus.

and please forget adreno 225 its not really around mali400. cuz games not realy pushing triangle bottleneck on mali400. 2 games was doing that asphalt 7 and mc4 but others realy dont and triangle power of s3 increased 50% with new drivers.

mali400 should be old and mediocre im trying to say adreno 320 feels older on real world. in not saying this is better than that im simply telling my experience. since im using adreno 320 phone as daily driver i wish it performs better too but simply its not. i dont care about power i care about real world experience. thats all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiD3991:
Yes it is, if it is only graphics nothing will ever beat tegra, it is made by a graphic card company for games, as you said the extra graphics triggered but tegra can handle that just well without stressing, while Mali400 is on its peak running the game. I don't use bloody high end games just Alien Vs. Predator for example, me and my friend bought it together, and we're both XDA-ians. I played the game with him with his modified and fully optimized Note 2 Vs. my new LG Optimus 4X unrooted. The difference is there, and it isn't just small. Without even triggering the extra graphics(IDK how to do that), Note 3 lags while Optimus is running it smoothly. Aside battery, it took my battery out in 1 hour and 20 minutes. I apologize if I sound pricky, but I am standing for my point that Mali is in fact not THAT good, it is only working THAT good on S3 and Note 2 because Samsung is using it and it has the biggest consumer base. And you should really try out gaming on Tegra3, its awesome. I even plan to buy a HTC One X just for the Tegra 3(because I dont like PS and XBox etc).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmac31:
my girlfriend had one x please dont buy it. gaming was its worst part of the phone . tegra 3 was just bad. a soc from gpu company doesnt mean it must be good at gpu tegra 2 was bad and tegra 3 was bad at gpu too. what you saw on avp was probably bad optimization or something. cuz tegra 3 run nearly all games on low graphic settings cuz it cant handle try most wanted rr3 asphal8 and even laggy on dead trigger 2 in low settings on tegra 3. trust me if one x had exynos 4 i could be the user of it too. i think its a great phone my girlfriend used it for 1 year.

please take it as friendly advice and buy atleast tegra 4 device if you realy think tegra is best you sure will have a great gpu with tegra4
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiD3991:
Wait wait... Hold your horses. When you mentioned NFS Most Wanted I can't help but interject, its the game I use to measure Graphics level, and while using LG Optimus 4X it was so badass good I kicked my PC for being lousy. Maybe HTC One X was different? Its possible though, because HTC One X reported much better battery life than LGO4X. But maybe it is the processor side? LGO4X and HTC One X both uses the Tegra3, the difference can't be that big... can it? I will emphasize again the graphic is BADASS good. No lags in games as well, I did try NOVA 3 and whewwww, it kinda looks better than a PSP if you ask me.

Tegra 4 still have wakelock issues, and since no major brands are using it, I'll hope Nvidea don't give up on Tegra5.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmac31:
well when most wanted launched tegra 3 devices was running on high graphics settings(like your nexus 4 or s3) and was too laggy then they reduced settings to low (no blur effect not all textures etc) it started running good. well its still your choice since you are a old user you know how is tegra 3. but 1 months ago b4 my girlfriend change her one x alot of games was runnig on low graphics setting or laggy. and one x had bad battery life and heat issues. i dont think 4x can be worse cuz worse is pretty much not usable.

i still advice you to get tegra 4 phone( if you can find 1) or wait for tegra 5 cuz tegra 3 realy not good as u think. single channel memory controller on tegra 3 is a big issue for gaming.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhoss48:
Wait wait wait. The One X is bad in gaming.? I had the one X before this (G2) Boy u are sooo wrong i ran GT RACING 2 on high on it and it had no lag same story on asphalt 8. Sure it is power hungry but its great lag was deleted on 4.2.2 with sense 5. I cant compare it yet to G2 but now on 4.2.2 the one x is better in gaming by a hair, but once we get 4.4 and open GL3.0 kicks in the balance will flip

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmac31:
hmm interesting im sure asphalt 8 lags or works alteast on low settings but if you say so my girlfriend had bad one x or something but still one channel memory controller not from this time. asphalt 8 was lagging very bad on high settings on my gf s one x. were u using stock?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiD3991:
See? Its possible that your GF had a bad set though. Because no matter what game I threw at my LGO4X it doesn't lag! (apart longer loading time)

xperia sp with adreno 320(better optimized than no optimized nexus 4)

I can play both gta vc ,San Andreas at max smoothly 25+...with 1 gb ram adreno 320.... these two games are least optimized for adreno 320....

if you don't believe check xperia sp benchmarks 22000 antutu 4...

In my friends note 2 toy story live wallpaper stutters.... but smooth on mine...I am really hoping moto x with specs same as sp will outperform note 2....

nexus 4 lags with every game...I don't know why... but don't overestimate your Mali 400,it is weak and not future proof..

my xperia sp was slightly cheaper than s3 and so nice performance,outperforms it....

developers should take notice of increased market share of the strong costly adreno 320 and 330 gpus and develop games for them ...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i9100g user:
So which wallpaper are you talking about ? None of those lag on mine.

And nothing is future proof ,of course adreno 320 is a newer GPU and should perform better someday but it doesn't mean that current s3 owners really need to change their phone as it is still performing up to the mark (whatever the reason may be ,be it good optimisation on mali GPU or poor optimisation on adreno GPU)

Antutu is pretty much useless ,it measures peak performance over a small period of time and doesn't simulate different optimisations in games,so for me it is just for showing-off ,but for your information I can get 19-20k (stock)and 23k (over clock) .

Also OEM's mostly focus on higher scores in benchmarks (they just want high CPU frequency and more no of cores so that they get higher scores on "benchmarks" hence better marketing)

what they really forget is that they need to clock their CPU's at a modest frequency(or whatever performance settings) so that it throttles less.For example HTC one has a lower clocked S600 while S4 has a higher clocked CPU and it throttles a lot more even though both can play games equally but s4 lags more as it throttles faster.We don't just need the higher clocked CPU what we really need is a CPU which can sustain the frequency for a longer ,even if scores less in some of these dumb benchmarks. Snapdragon 800 throttles in few minutes after running at full 2.3ghz and that is why these mordern games lag so fast on it,even though its CPU and GPU are top-notch.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinot765:
Hello,

I have a serious problem. Last friday, I receive a brand new HTC ONE, free of carrier, as I live in Nigeria. I put my sim card inside, I sync with google, I personalize with music, photos, msg... and then I make a save on the computer (macbook pro); later on the day, I change some widgets, and few things (when I transfer the music, one time out of two, HTC sync Manager says the device is not connected, whereas it is of course.)

Next morning I want to listen to the music, as it is one of the assets of the device. The music is played for 10 sec, and then stops. I think there is a minor problem, I decide to reboot.

-first surprise, the device starts on the configuration saved on the computer, and not on the configuration of the reboot.

-then I try a factory reset, via the android menu. the device goes into the reset mode, with the two green arrows, turning in the same way, indicating that the reset is being done. But, after one minute or so, a red triangle with an exclamation point replaces the two green arrows.

Then, the device comes back to the saved configuration of the computer.

-I try to perfrom a factory reset, hard reset from the HTC menu with PWR and - button of the unit. but it is the same result as the attempt with the android menu, it boots on the saved configuration.

-I try to download the update android 4.3 and HTC sense 5.5 from HTC servers but once downloaded, the device says the update is corruted and will not install it.

It is a big problem to me because bewteen the moment of the save and the moment I reboot the device, willingly or due to a loss of battery, every piece of content I would create, receive, or add, like music, photo, videos, emails, txt msg... would disapear.

I've tryed to make another save on the computer, but HTC sync manager keeps telling me there is no save done. At the bottom right corner, there is the sync button, and the free space on the device. When I transfer something on the device, even if it is 10 GB of data, the free space is not changing. It stays around 24.58 GB...

I don't know what to do, but I love this phone, and I want it to work properly. If I need to install something, please let me know, but I don't know the basics, like installing custom roms or something else.
