I feel like a total idiot for asking this but, is there any way to close the program? I can't seem to figure it out.

Double that. I have to kill the app.

So what happened to the Nexus 4 thermal throttling then? I thought Nexus 4 performance was sub standard

HTC One S (S4 Krait Dual Core 1.5GHz, Adreno 225, 960x540 Resolution)
Running Custom Rom with Stock Kernal (Viper 2.0.0 JB 4.1.1 Rom)

Average FPS: 53.4
Performance Level: High Performance

Average FPS: 51.7
Performance Level: High Quality


I didn't have the glitch on this phone with the Adreno 225.

Nexus 4 was shipped yesterday, Will have it Monday or Tuesday according to tracking and will follow up with that.

um, how does one set the benchmark mode?

Once loaded you'll see an icon top center, tap it, tap benchmark. To change from performance, quality, tap the gear on right side before you tap benchmark.

Tap the menu icon, then the setting gear. After selecting your options, choose the bottom option "Apply Settings".

More takes me to the citadel website?

What device are you running? iOS devices don't have the benchmark mode.

LOL yep, that's it then...

And now for something completely different (read: slow)-

Kyocera Rise (or Hydro); 1Ghz Snapdragon S2, Adreno 205, 512MB
640x320
Performance
...27fps!

Frankly I was impressed. But if you doubled the resolution it'd probably lock up and/or catch fire.

Does anyone else think it's crazy that phones in the $100-200 range (or below) seem to be able to render 3D better than video cards that we paid more for not all THAT long ago?

I remember paying about 200 for a TNT2...200 for a GF2, GF4....every other generation or so I'd buy a god budget card. I wanna see a showdown between someone's phone and a Voodoo2 SLI.

 

[ChronoReverse]

The Voodoo2 is 15 years old. I'd HOPE our phones can do better than that lol.

With that said, the stuff on mobile GPUs look pretty decent but you can really notice a lot of shortcuts that haven't really been necessary on the desktop for years because the power to handle it is there.

I know, it just amuses to think about the rig to play Quake on back in the day (IIRC Quake2, actually), and how it is now best used as a space heater. A Pentium2, THREE seperate GPU cards (need a 'base' card plus the Voodoos), and it's now less power than most people carry around in their pocket. Plus you get a screen and it runs on the equivalent of about three AA batteries.

It's a lot like comparing a desktop at that time (mid-late 90's) to a 1960's 'fill up a couple rooms' model.

 

[s44]

So... UE3. Does this mean we get ME2 for Android soon? (Forget ME3, please.)

 

[Face2Face]

Droid DNA is killing it. 1920X1080 High Quality 54.9 FPS - Seems likes it pegging the FPS limiter of 60 quite a bit.

This demo on the DNA screen is really really pretty.

 

[thecapsaicinkid]

The higher end devices are obviously limited by the frame rate limit. A little pointless.

 

[KeithTalent]

Boy, sure looks pretty.

Nice example of what modern phones can do though.

Not too shabby for SGX540.

Definitely. Reminds me of the time I first saw SLI Voodoo 2s running Unreal. Showed a guy at work this app on my Nexus 7, almost spat his tea out.

 

[Oyeve]

Hmmm the latest firmware from tmo I put on my sgs3 knocked the fps down to 4.2

 

[Bateluer]

True, but its kinda worthless as a benchmark today. Even old SoCs are hitting frame rates in the 50 range. Makes me conclude that this is 'console' gaming, targeting the lowest hardware specs to appease the most people. A developer targeting the high end could so so much more with even 2012's SoCs, to say nothing of the upcoming 2013 chips.

Yeah but if thats what things look like targeting the lowest specs then things are looking pretty good.

Of course theres never a game that looks equivalent to a benchmark that runs as well.

You beat me by .1 fps, jerk.
