Tegra 2 forgotten? - Acer Iconia A500

has game developers forgotten about tegra 2 and just moved onto tegra 3 i mean i see alot of awesome games coming out such as Horn or the new game coming out Wild blood which is supposed to boast the unreal engine or even bladeslinger but all run on tegra 3 , i mean if i can run Dead trigger highest graphics under clocked with no lag then why move on? even Max Payne mobile highest graphics and under clocked runs fine. is it just devs wanting to work on tegra 3 for the consumer market in it or is tegra 2 just that old?

Yeah it doesn't make sense I'm sure these high end apps could have somethings set up just to scale down settings depending on hardware of the device. Kinda like PC games do which will try to match the best settings for the hardware (which usually is OK)

yeah i guess its just time to upgrade :/ im going with an actual cmputer tab 320 gig harddrive 2.2ghz win7 winpad i think unless i can find a better one i can use for work :/

Maybe all those Tegra 3 only titles are sponsored by Nvidia and Nvidia wants them to be T3 exclusive to attract more tablet/phone buyers. But they showed with Tegra 2 how much they care about the hardware they already sold (we are not even clients to them as we ONLY buy end products with Nvidia hardware).
I think the same will happen when Nvidia presents T3 successor in the future. All THD titles will be made for this next chip and T3 will be forgotten as T2 is now.
I think that developers' decision to support T3 exclusivelly in their titles is Nvidia's doing because developers are actually shrinking their potential customer base (how many T2 tab users is out there comparing to T3 user base). WIthout money from Nv I don't think any developer would do that unless they need so much processing power that T2 is not capable of delivering any more. And @gears177 gave 2 examples that T2 is still capable of running good 3d games even underclocked. T3 is just overkill for most titles.

CPU needed for now games

Just wondering what would it take to run xbox 360 games or ps3 on future android devices more CPU ram or a fan? The way I see us going with high end devices even with quad core coming up, is this far away to achieve?
sent from my Motorola XOOM
Well, rumor is that the NGP can pretty much run PS3 games albeit at a lower resolution. I'm guessing that by 2012 Tegra 3 tablets and the iPad 3 will be on par with PS3/360 level graphics.
That processor in gaming consoles are much more powerful not to mention all they do is run the game.
It'll be years before the mobile processors catch up, mainly because of the power requirements

+1 check out games like crysis 2. This game basically requires the latest CPU/gpu for best graphics on a PC and the ps3/360 version of this game basically looks just as good. The components of these game consoles are very specialized and it would take many years before mobile hardware could emulate them with similar performance
Well I was expecting that I can wait 3 years for halo

I would have to disagree with it looking as good as the PC version with full settings.
Also, he wasn't talking about emulation.
TBH, in 2-4 years I could see a dedicated (RISC) mobile gaming device that can run things on par with XB360. Look at the original PSP, it looks better than PS1.
Like others have mentioned, we won't have to wait too long as technological advancements are made by leaps and bounds on a daily basis (not yearly or monthly). What we have in our consumer products are several generations behind what the government has, and there is a trickle down effect.

Thinking of getting one

Have an evo but I'm getting a Verizon dealer line. Is it worth it I'm a big gamer and will be getting an evo 3d to replace my evo. However I'm worried that the lack of good hardware will make the phone obsolete pretty quick..... thinking of getting a Droid x2 just for the tegra..... but not sure what advantages it would have. I'm also kind of worried about Sony portinhg enough stuff over to make it worth it.
Tho being able to run Rome on the built in emulator would be Perth awesome.
If I'm a huge gamer is it worth it. I really just want opinions on the device so any comments would be great.

I dont think the hardware will be obsolete quick. With the controls alone you can play thousands of roms on emulators. Even if sony laggs on releases. FPSE works fine.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc vs LG Optimus 2x "Face Off". With the play and the arc being similiar id say its probably not to far off. The processor obviously would kick the plays arse. But at the moment dual core is not needed, only a few apps and games are tailored for it. What the point of all that power with nothing to use it.
Trust me the processor in the xperia play is amazing. It is currently the fastest single core CPU on android. Also the Xperia play has a GPU much more powerful than the one in tegra devices. Its even faster than the ipad2 GPU.
Hardware wise it is pretty advanced.

I totally agree with this. Just because it doesn't do well in benchmarks doesn't mean it's not faster in real world applications. My DroidX will smoke the Play in Quadrant. But if I were to do a side-by-side comparison on Dungeon Defenders, or load times, the Play will destroy it.
So for current processors, the Play has a very nice one indeed. Tegra is over-hyped in my book.

What?! how is the Adreno 205 (single core) more powerful than a dual/quad core Tegra 2? its no where near and as for being more powerful than the gpu in the ipad 2, not a chance lol.
I love my Play but let's not get carried away with false claims
It can hold it's own against the rest of the mid range phones (iphone 4, galaxy s, desire hd etc) at the moment but it isn't in the same league hardware wise compared to the high end devices appearing now.
And yup, the cpu is one of the best single cores around but that's not saying much when the rest of the competition have moved on to dual core cpu's (and quad core by the end of the year) now....

Yeah but its all about optimization.
Lets look at my PC vs a PS2 for example.
PS2 Specs: 32mb RAM, CPU 300mhz EE, GPU GS 4mb
My PC: 12gb Trichannel RAM, CPU i7 4 cores, 2 threads each @ 2.7ghz, GPU ATi 5870 1gb GDDR5
^My PC spanks the HELL out of those specs, but guess what? Through emulation my PC can not even play all games smoothly.
The Xperia Play hardware and the chip sets mentioned above have a MUCH less difference.
Meaning...
Any games and software designed around the Xperia Play will look vastly superior and play vastly superior on the Play vs those other chip sets, and believe me being the only phone on the market that is ALSO a dedicated gaming platform means that the system will see games that are much much better than those other chip sets. The Play basically owns the gaming market by default right now, the support is going to be insane.
Im wanting one to i hope i can afford it

Tegra is nothing special you know, it's total clock speed is only 1ghz just like ours, just because is dual core dosent make it super amazing. and as have been proven by chainfire, the GPU is not much better than ours. anyway imo the play is not a mid range device, it is quite easy in the high end category

You can say that about any device though, if a game is made for the samsung galaxy s 2 and is optimized for that devices hardware (the better cpu/gpu and ram) it would wipe the floor with the play version, same as ipad 2, atrix, lg optimus 2 etc.
And yes, the play has the gaming pad which hopefully will expand the life a bit of the device and mean we do get some decent support (I hope) but obviously it depends how the Play sells (not sounding great at the moment tbh)

The play is NOT a high end device lol, it sits slap bang in the mid range hardware wise, check all the review sites, all of them class this device as a mid range device,
CNET UK:
All indications seem to be that the Play is a good mid-range smartphone. Whether you should choose it over any other phone will hinge entirely on how often you think you will want to play games on it.

Single core 1ghz cpu (classed as mid range), adreno 205 gpu (while good still classed as mid range), ram is 512mb but has 378mb usable (classed as mid range, the desire s and desire hd even beat it with 768mb of ram), internal storage is 400mb (mid range), the screen is standard lcd (and not S-LCD or AMOLED etc) so is also mid range,
I knew the Xperia Play was a mid range device before I bought it, I have no issues about that, but it does make me laugh when people try and say it is high end when its nowhere near, check the reviews, check the specs, check the benchmarks, they ALL scream mid range!
And yes, the Play can play the recent Tegra 2 games using chainfire but remember those games are 1st generation Tegra 2 games, give it a few months and none of the Tegra 2 games will work on the Adreno 205 gpu, and theres games on tegra 2 already that won't even run on the Play due to the inferior gpu and ram on the Play (monster madness and bang bang racing for example) even with chainfire.
The X-Play is great the controls feel great minus the analogs they get a bit getting used to, at first I thought they were just broken. I had been having a few problems with the power button getting stuck when pressed but I just used a razor blade to shave the sides of the cover and it works just fine. The auto bright feature is just annoying due to it constantly changing hope an update will allow to turn off auto bright. Gaming on it is enjoyable especially at work when nothing is going on. Battery life last me about 6 hours of gaming it could be better but once r800x model can be rooted to uninstall verizon's bloatware and auto bright disabled battery life just be greatly extended.

Something that really bothers me about tegra 2 and 3

Well i see lot of games coming for tegra this year
most of them for tegra 3
it really disappoints me
well somepoint iwill get the prime iguess in around 4 months in my birthday but until anyone has an idea if maybe a driver like chainfire could unabla tegra 3 on tegra 2
well iknow its not logic but you know like with chainfire that you can reduce texture quallity
(sorry for my really bad english XD)
well i have no idea what you asked
He wants to know if you can play tegra 3 games on a tegra 2 device.
Sent from my X10a using The Force
seems like what he is saying is that a lot of the newer games that have been announced have only been for tegra 3. but take shadowgun for example it was only soposed to be tegra 2 but later was given versions for otehr less powerfull chipsets. so i assue newer games will be announced for tegra 3 but after a month sor so there will be a tegra 2 version so not to worry. also im sure chainfire wil get right on it once more tegra 3 devices and games are out
I am guessing......
....and I could be wrong. That he is hoping that someone can wave a magic wand on all the new "Tegra 3 only" game titles (whatever they may be) and make them compatible with Tegra 2.
I believe, he thinks that Tegra 3 is driver related and not architecture change and therefore unlockable, like reducing the graphics settings on a new game to minimum so it plays on an old graphics card.
Sorry if that is not what you are thinking Hearmeman. Pure assumption on my part. Google "Differences between Tegra 2 and Tegra 3" and you will see it's not just graphics.
Well
about the architecture
i guess you can use qualcomm drivers and mali drivers on tegra 2
i cant any problems with tegra 3
i do know the chipset is changed
iguess chainfire will release a driver that allows that
Hehe, I'm down to 0 game on my TF. I guess I'm not as enthusiastic about tegra 3 as I should because I'm not a gamer.
Expect THD versions for Tegra 3 and then they will be adapted and the hardware restrictions will be lowered and given to other devices.
If a game was natively meant for Tegra 3, I wouldn't expect to see it on anything less than a Tegra 2 because then the developer would have to lower the game quality so much that it would insult how the game was meant to be played.
dont you think that they just can reduce texture or colors
it boost up the framerates
you see like in riptide they added motion blur and water splash nothing serious
im really looking forward to buy the prime the next few months but until then
Hmm, I must have been looking at other games, the ones I saw said they would be for T2 with enhanced versions for T3.

Why (some) games won't run on the S III Mini

Hello!
Let me begin by saying sorry for the monstrously long post - I honestly wanted to make it shorter but it got out of hand pretty quickly.
If you're like me, then the minute you've got your hands on the S III Mini you went to the Play Store to test some games, right?
If yes, then you may have noticed that some of them state that they aren't compatible with our devices... and, if you're like me, then you may have tried some "unofficial" sources for, oh let's say Gameloft goodies.
After installing, they either crash at startup, crash during or after the loading screen or, more interestingly, display white boxes instead of the actual textures (this was my experience with Nova 1, Hawx and a couple of others). In this thread I'll try to explain why. My sources are some wonderful threads here at XDA, but if I'm wrong in my assumptions then please correct me so that in the end, we can paint a more correct picture. Of course, some crashes and incompatibilities will be related to completely different things, but here's my take on it!
First of all, the chipset used in the Samsung I8190 is the NovaThor U8420 (a custom 8500 actually), which includes two Cortex-A9 CPU cores clocked at 1 GHz and a single-core GPU, the Mali 400MP. The Mali-400MP is a pretty old GPU (first launched in 2008), but a decent one nonetheless - it's actually on par with the Adreno 200 and 205 in some tests, but that's irrelevant.
Well, that's our culprit - because of the Mali GPU, a part of the games on the Play Store won't be available to us. That's because it's an older model, which only supports ETC compression for 3D textures and games usually rely on all manner of other formats nowadays. So, we go and torch ARM for their GPU, Ericsson for their chipset and Samsung for including it, right? Actually, no.
Here's where it gets interesting - ETC (Ericsson Texture Compression) is a free algorithm, a rather good one at that, but it doesn't support transparency in textures. Developers need to create a kind of "gradient mask" for transparencies (I believe it's similar to Photoshop), so instead of a one-step procedure, this needs two steps to perform. The other algorithms support compression of textures with transparency, so that's why we see white boxes in our games instead of actual textures - the Mali can't display them, so they all get changed to white "placeholders".
The thing is, the ETC format is the only standard accepted officially by OpenGL, so in the end, all the other formats are basically "wrong"! So, it's actually not Mali's fault, nor Ericsson's or Samsung's - it's the developer's fault that they use proprietary formats! Some users (that seemed to know what they were talking about) stated that the change to ETC format isn't that hard to perform and should take only a couple of hours to a resourceful dev.
Why aren't they doing this? Why isn't everyone using the accepted standard from the get-go? Because Nvidia, Imagination Technologies, Qualcomm and all the other GPU manufacturers want their products showcased and displayed in the spotlight. Tegra, PowerVR and Adreno each have to look like the best way to do 3D graphics, so the giant corporations behind them provide incentives, support and so on for their products, each trying to outdo the other's efforts. Thus, devs create a product (a game in this case) that is customized to run "best" on Tegra, or on Adreno or whatever - if it's an exclusive deal ("Tegra™-optimized", anyone?), even better!
This, in my opinion, is completely idiotic! Remember when in the '90 we had all those graphics card manufacturers? Remember how games ran only on Voodoo? Fortunately, the PC industry stabilized and we now have only the big two (Nvidia and Ati), but the idea resurged in the past couple of years on the mobile platform. It's also quite ridiculous, since we can't actually check and see if Game X performs better on Tegra or on Adreno, since it only works on one... so, how can we perform tests?
This is Android fragmentation at its ugliest! Take any modern PC game - no matter if it's "meant to be played on Nvidia" or whatever - you can still run and enjoy it on any graphics card, no matter the manufacturer. That's because of standardization! On the mobile platform, standardization of this sort isn't yet enforced, so in the end, we the customers have to suffer! So, if the game you bought isn't yet compatible with your device, go and yell at the devs - no, really! There's no excuse for using proprietary formats on a platform that boasts of its openness and customizability; there's no reason why we can't all benefit from GameX and there's no logic in denying paying customers of these experiences, all because of one more step in the compression procedure or some marketing hype! iPhone users can benefit from all games in the App Store because all of their devices use the same set of instructions and I'm pretty sure that we Android fans could as well!
So, in the end, Samsung and Mali actually did the right thing... It may not be regarded as such by us, who suffer in the end, but in the long run, enforcing the standard, officially recognized and supported method of compression is the right way to go. Seeing how Samsung sells millions of devices, I just hope that updates will start rolling for each app that presents me with a yellow bar under the Install button.
'Till then, we can only count on some brilliant guys here at XDA that can and do work hard on fixing things that should work correctly in the first place. Remember that I asked how we can perform tests if Game X doesn't run on both GPU Y and GPU Z? Well, one of the above guys is Chainfire of Windows Mobile 5, 6 and Android fame... with his 3D app installed, users reported that previously incompatible games were running perfectly on their devices, no matter if Tegra, Adreno or Mali was powering them. So, it doesn't matter which GPU is used, only the willingness to actually do it right that counts.
Here's to a more fun and usable Android!:highfive:
Note: I actually don't have any experience with developing games and the like, and all the info above is collected from threads here on XDA (especially those for Samsung Galaxy II) and googling everything I come across. I'm sure that the other methods of compression have their benefits and that at least some info above isn't 100% correct, but I still stand by my point. If you know more or want me to correct something then please leave your reply below and I'll see to it ASAP.

Yes I need NVIDIA graphic card in the PC tower.
for me, streaming steam games isnt the deciding factor...it 's that project shield has tegra 4 which is claimed to be 2.5x faster than ouya 's tegra 3 with 45% less power consumption AND that a new version of ouya will be available by next year....all that aside, i believe project shield is a lot more portable than ouya...unless you manage to link ouya to your phone 's screen or something, you 're gonna need an actual screen .-.
Why would I want to stream games? I'd need the hardware in my PC to do so and at that point...why am I not gaming on my gaming desktop? The logic doesn't follow with that at all.
youre trying to compair a 100$ tv connected box with a 500$ handheld system. Its like compairing the wii from yesteryear to the psvita. Two completely different things. The ouya will be powerfull enough to do basic things but supposedly there will be a better one next year with the new Tegra chipset.

Exactly! For me my android phone and Bluetooth controller are good enough for "mobile gaming". The ouya will make a good xbmc streaming device. But that's about all I'll use it for.
The Tegra 3 in the OUYA is going to be more powerful than the ones found in mobile devices because that there is no power constraint.
are two different devices too ...

Just for reference, the Ouya uses the highest-end Tegra 3 (T33), which by comparison, is clocked significantly faster than the version inside the Nexus 7.
Ouya clock speed relative to Nexus 7 (Tegra 3):
CPU: +33%
GPU: +25%
RAM: +20%

It's no where near a Tegra 4, but with XBMC it should handle virtually any 1080P 24fps video you throw at it, which is why I really want it. The games are a bonus.

Yeah, I knew it was significantly faster than teh Tegra 3 tablets, but the claim was that it would be superior to the Tegra 4 speeds... I believe it'll be fantastic for Tegra 3.
uoya is the best

youre trying to compair a 100$ tv connected box with a 500$ handheld system. Its like compairing the wii from yesteryear to the psvita. Two completely different things. The ouya will be powerfull enough to do basic things but supposedly there will be a better one next year with the new Tegra chipset.

Or SNES to GameBoy.
Still, though, I'd like to have both. Simply for the reason that one is on-the-go gaming, and one is console gaming.

in some weeks there will be a streaming service available with which you don't need any nvidia graphics card in the pc...just a tegra 3/4 device and you can play pc games also on android devices
You can also stream games from your pc to ouya
