Order & Chaos 2

O&C2 is a beast of a game, it's like the Crysis for mobile. The game doesn't even look that amazing, I think it is just poorly optimized (just like Crysis), at least Crysis is beautiful though. The game has a hard cap at 30 fps, so don't expect any more than that no matter what you do to the settings. I have found through my testing that the best mix of visual and performance is the following:

In game settings:

Graphics profile = Optimal

Render scale = 100%

Frame rate limitation = 30

Crowd control = slider all the way up

Dead Effect 2

This is one of the best looking mobile games to date and is optimized for Nvidia, which is great for us. This game actually looks almost as good as Crysis, but doesn't run as poorly. It has been optimized very well. There also happens to be a lot of graphical adjustment in the settings which allows for fine tuning. Through testing I have found the game to look amazing and run 45-60 fps (no matter how much action on screen) with the following settings:

In game settings:

Visual Quality = Custom

Shader Quality = Medium

Effect Quality = Medium

Model Quality = High

Texture Quality = Full

Shadow Quality = Low

Bloom = Low

Plants Vs Zombies 2

Pvz2 also has a hard cap of 30 FPS and there is no adjustment of the graphics in the settings menu. I have found that the game runs at a locked 30 FPS even with the processor at 50%, so this is where I leave it to conserve battery life.

App optimization settings:

Performance Setting = Custom

Max CPU Cores = 4

Max CPU Frequency = 50%

Frame Rate Limit = Off

Resolution Rendering = Native

Optimize System Memory = Off

Real Racing 3

Real Racing 3 runs pretty well. Most of the time the FPS stays locked at 60, but when there is a lot going on it can dip to 30 or just below. There are no in game graphics adjustments and I wouldn't turn the processor down at all because you will need full power when there are 10+ cars on the screen.

Do not adjust.

Doom 3

It's funny I remember 10 or more years ago when Doom 3 came out and I was upset that my PC couldn't run it LOL Now we can play it on a tablet that fits in our pocket. Anyway, I couldn't do much testing with this game as GLTools wouldn't show the FPS, it glitched out when I enabled it. The game has no graphical adjustment in it's setting as well and I wouldn't reccommend turning the processor down in app optimization without being able to confirm the impact. Game runs great though. The only issue I found was popping through my bluetooth headset, that could have been the headset.

Do not adjust.

Oceanhorn

What a great little game this is, really reminds me of Zelda. This game is very well optimized and never misses a beat. It looks and plays fantastic. I would like to see more quality games like this come out in the future, this kind of stuff can give consoles a run for their money. I have the in game settings turned all the way up and the processor set to 50% in app optimization and the FPS never dips more than a couple frames. This is a game that everyone should check out.

App optimization settings:

Performance Setting = Custom

Max CPU Cores = 4

Max CPU Frequency = 50%

Frame Rate Limit = Off

Resolution Rendering = Native

Optimize System Memory = Off
