I just ordered my Galaxy S II from the UK, but there has been a question hangin over my head.
Will games that are optimized for Tegra 2 ( such as games in Tegra Zone ) work on the Galaxy S II with the Exynos chipset?

From reading other comments elsewhere it appeared that the Exynos chipset was better than the Tegra 2, or is the Tegra 2 just better in games?...
Tegra games will not work on any other GPU ATM
galaxy s and nexus s PowerVR sgx 540 and other high end GPUs are more than capable of running "tegra 2" games.
Not to mention the tegra 2 really isn't that much faster than the SGS NS sgx540 tegra has two CPU cores and from what i gathered when gaming it dedicated one core for system and the other strictly for games when gaming.
Nvidia is paying off developers just like they do on PC. only difference between mobile and PC though is that PC "nvidia meant to be played" games will still work on ATI
Not the same with other mobile GPUs unfortunately
Nvidia is ruining android by doing this exclusive BS
Also the SGS2 GPU should be on par if not faster than the tegra 2
^ Gotcha thanks!...
Not sure if this has been answered before, but this post seems like a good place for this discussion...
1. Why did samsung launch a phone under two different cpu's...
2. Doesn't this mean that when samsung goes to release an android update for the phone they have to make two different updates, one for each cpu?

1. Probably due to the limited supply of Exynos CPUs
2. No, unless there needs to be a new driver written for the CPU (which is highly unlikely)
Nvidia is just causing some more fragmentation. As if we needed anymore.

Not only that but AMD is actually getting into the Android hardware game so it's about to get even messier. I hope Google comes out with some kind of DirectX thing to help with this.
well this cant go on forever because HTC sensation also comin out with a different cpu. so we should see the games released in different versions for all dual core phones pretty soon.

Wouldnt worry to much about that Most game developers make sure their game run on a wide selection of phones. Addapting a game to run on a new phone is not a lot of work, but increases the market potential. As mentioned before, Nvidia is paying developers to make the game tegra2 only. And luckely Nvidia is the only one doing this so far. A direct X solution for android could be a good medicine against the fragmentation, but I do know a certain hackers community that makes tegra 2 games playable on other devices. (have been playing galaxy on fire 2 for a while now) But XDA doesnt support linking to pirated software so I cannot share this, im sorry. (Google is your friend )
If the range of tegra 2 games will grow, there will be more interest in porting those games. Since its not very hard. Lets hope the hackers destroy the fragmentation haha.
As long as game developers stick to OpenGL ES specifications, all devices will be able to play the game (current). The device with more powerful GPU will obviously play it better.
What Nvidia is doing with Tegra is that they are making the sponsored game developers use the proprietary texture compression format that only Tegra Devices can run. This is what I have against Tegra Zone and Tegra as whole. The last thing we want is Nvidia playing dirty games they tried to play in PC gaming arena (they still do to some extent with PhysX and CUDA ).
So there is no real need to worry about developers having to code the game for each GPU core out there. Sensation might have different GPU but it will be OpenGL ES 2.x compatible just like Mali and others.

Yes but you'll need to Root, download Chainfire3D and the NVidia Tegra patch.

I can confirm this works for some games...
These are the games I've tested thus far:
Samurai II: Vengeance runs very well - However their is a bug with opening the combo draw.
Pinball HD for Tegra runs flawlessly
Riptide GP doesn't load at all - Just a black screen and then crash to homescreen.
When I have the money I'll buy the other games later and post results later.
Our phones also use an OpenGL compression which no other phone uses as of this moment, so there is nearly 0 support for it at the moment
EDIT: I forgot to mention this is with the use of Chainfire 3D with the Tegra plugin.
Pinball HD is running even on my Xperia X10 with Chainfire 3d...
Samurai 2 ... runs on low texture but not playable on x10.... but i have seen videos of it running on SGS and Desire HD... so it will run on sgs2 too
Dont know about other games...
I wanna test out my note and push it to the max. What games do you guys suggest? I have tried shadowgun so far and zenonia 4. My phone doesnt even blink twice. Oh not to mention GTA3.
Order & Chaos don't think there is a more intense game.
sent from AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note Dual Core 1.83 GHz
Blood and Glory and Shadowgun seem more intense than this. Is it an MMORPG? I was looking for games to impress friends with this device really.
I was wondering if it's possible to use Chainfire3D to run Tegra 3 games on the SIII. I'd try it but I don't have an SIII yet.
I too am wondering this, or if it is any possibillity to make an app like chainfire 3d which allows us to run tegra 3 specific games on our samesung galaxy s III.
Mali-400 has the ower, but tegra 3 has the game compabillity.
chainfire 3D runs perfectly on my SIII and it smoothly runs Fruit ninja, Riptide HD and Samurai II

What settings do you use on Chainfire ? I keep getting the device not supported message on Samurai II and other games
Thank you
Edit : wrong plugin loaded =)
Yeah I am trying to get Shadowgun the tegra 3 version to run but no joy, the sgs 2 is able to run it with chainfire3d.
The aforementioned games aren't Tegra exclusives any more.Try running the THD version of ShadowGun,Renaissance Blood,Glowball for Tegra 3 etc,they won't play even with CF3D.Unless someone makes a Tegra 3 plugin,or unless Chainfire manages to do his magic to crap all over NVidia's crappy chipset,the S3 unfortunately won't be able to play Tegra 3 titles.
That is 50% of why I hate NVidia so much.The other 50% is the fact that they haven't even managed to directly compete against anyone.Their chipsets are so crappy at a short time after the release,even if they make us drool at first,that they aren't even worth the money.

I personally love nvidia, for their desktop GPUs that is
Anyone got some advice for games worth checking out?
I heard gameloft games are not properly optimized.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2
Gameloft games aren't optimized for Tegra 3 devices, utilizing only 1 core for their games, and 1 core on the original HOX wasn't enough to run them smoothly. The extra 200mhz in 1 core of the HOX+ may be enough though as someone said Asphalt 7, which was a bit laggy on HOX, ran fine on HOX+. Maybe you can try out a few Gameloft games.
I own an Xperia sola ICS stock ROM [.54] not rooted and locked bootloader. It has 512 mb of ram and
380mb of RAM is available to me. It has a NovaThor 1 GHz Dual core processor and Mali 400MP
GPU. I've played several games on my android but cannot figure out why many games doesn't runs smooth on it.
And some gives bad graphics as it is a low end device for them.. But i cannot understand how??
I've Played NFS MOSTWANTED 2012 and Asphalt 7 on my phone but NFS MW has a better graphic display than Asphalt 7. I searched through
XDA i found that the originally made Hi end graphics are for devices like Xperia Z,ZL but when NFS is showing me the best Hi end graphics without a lag why can't Asphalt do the same.
I'd played DEAD TRIGGER on my phone which have highly Immersive graphics. Totally polished and somewhat they can be compared to PC games graphics. The game runs without any LAG on my
phone but MC3, MC4 lags like hell even when they shares a bit less immersive graphics than DEAD TRIGGER. And Brothers In Arms,It shows a white background and then force closes by it self on touching the screen.
I'd played Max Payne on my phone worked like heaven no lag no glitches but Battlefield Badcompany 2 lags on stge 3 and never works after stage 14.
I've played RPG games like Arlon, Ravensword both worked fluently but I m unable to play Miami Vindication it force closes on touching the screen
IRON MAN 3 worked for me with a bit and ignorable lag but Dark Knight Rises lagged like hell and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN throws to home screen after loading the first stage.
Frontline Commando works great but D-DAY lags and takes 5-7 mins to load.
Conclusion is why the games that i've compared with have comparitively lower graphics than the games that run on my device lags and doesn't work or are incompatible.
You must have Observed that GAMELOFT games rarely seems to be working on Xperia sola. But why.
EA games are all working like heaven
Mostly all the other developers work great
But why GAMELOFT games do not work..
ROOTING my device is one solution but this gives a reason for that developer to ignore dealing with the game betterment.
