3d games you play? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, after successfully overclocking to 1.7 ghz, with I have been on the lookout for a 3d game that might challenge this processor. Any suggestions?
Also, I'm trying to determine whether or not the gpu was overclocked with the ts alpha 96 kernel I flashed? I'm assuming no.

Check out Dead Trigger, it's free and pretty awesome graphics.
Most kernels aren't overclocked by default.

Right, I had too use the trinity app to actually overclock. What app would i use for a gpu overclock? I'll try dead trigger

Try Asphalt or Temple Run

Dead Trigger is a good choice. Any THD optimized game should heat up the device just fine.

Try E. Warriors 2

Download the tegrazone app which features all new tegra games

Nova3 or shadowgun thd are the most graphic intense games out now. or mass effect infiltrator. dead trigger good but its graphics wont tax system as much as those listed oreviously.

N64oid and Mupen64 performance

Hi guys
Over the past couple of days I have been testing emulators and have noticed that my nexus 7 can't seem to handle games that my desire HD could handle fine,the main culprits being banjo kazooie/tooie and donkey Kong 64
Has anyone else been struggling with these titles?
I am not rooted yet, would a root/deox/over clock help? Has anyone already tested this?

Its the processor mate, both these apps work exactly the same on my HTC one x which exactly the same processor
Its annoying I know, I'm sure its just the case that it'll have to tweaked by the developer. Fingers crossed he does
Edit: as for rooting/custom ROMs Im using glazed jellybean and it does run slightly better on that
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I thought so :/
Is it something like those apps don't have quad core support?
It is a shame, I think development has stopped on both of them
Are there any other n64 emulators?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Tbh I'll be surprised if N64oid has even dual core support given how much better it worked on my old single core DHD
Sadly I don't know of any other N64 emus
Its a shame as virtually every ROM would probably work smoothly if it was designed for our CPUs. I mean fpse (ps emu) runs at 100fps for me on some games with graphics effects at maximum on both of my tegra 3 devices
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Aww that sucks
Was looking forward to playing Banjo Kazooie again on my tablet
My last question is about overclocking, if these emulators don't have multi core support would overclocking help?
Or has anyone already overclocked and would mind testing this for me?
Sorry for posting this in the wrong place
Does anyone have any experience with over clocking and n64 emulators?
The tegras need special instructions to really be utilized. Have you tried forcing GPU acceleration in development options in settings.

Batman runs terrible on my nexus

Just purchased the game and for my surprise it is running really bad here. Low fps and laggy as hell.
I have been researching and it seems that tegra 3 has some issues with games from gameloft.
Anyone else tried and had problems like this ? I am trying to find a solution for this but so far no luck.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Yeah same. Used different kernels too. It's pretty much unplayable.

Forgot to say that I am using motley kernel. If the problem is with tegra maybe it possible to emulate some other api....
Well...back on looking for a solution....

The PowerVR / Adreno 2xx / Mali chips do really well with Gameloft games. I guess nVidia needs to increase their market share before Gameloft shows them any love. My phone is using the Adreno 205 chip, and plays some games better than my Tegra device(which sucks).
If i am not mistaken Chainfire had an app to emulate tegra drives on mali so we could run games like shadowgun.
Maybe the opposite could be done either ?

Heh... maybe
Let me try that ChainFire3D, and report back, because I'd like to think this was 25 cents wasted hahaha
*edit* DO NOT flash ChainFire3D. It sent my tablet into bootloops and had to restore a nandroid. Little bug with this phone won't let you go into recovery from bootloader without it being plugged in.
id say its your setup, its running very smooth here, and lag free. do you have force gpu rendering enabled in the main device settings, developer options? rasbean jelly rom with the latest trinity kernel.
Same here runs great, using paranoid android 2.17 and montley kernel 1.1.1 gpu 484.
Runs horribly for me too. Stock kernel and XenonHD,no over clock. Laggy as hell.

Runs laggy here too on rasbeanjelly stock kernal, Franco kernal seemed to have slightly better performance buts dissapointing that gameloft is having us resort to using custom roms/kernals just to get almost decent performance in there games, back on tegra 2 gameloft games were extremely smoove what happened here?

It seems to be a miss and hit scenario, some report it playable and some report unplayable. Suppose everyone has a different outlook on playable, anyway, Gameloft games aren't optimised for Tegra 3. As leelaa pointed out they only use 1 core, which is pretty annoying. Also this should be in Themes & Apps section?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus, if I helped hit thanks.
batman runs fine here..non-rooted..very mild lag sumtimes..but playable..i have complain bout asphalt 7...low gfx..terrible frame rate...

You are correct they aren't optimized yet, if they were you would see all the HD titles on the wapstore, and there's actually none on there other than the simple free games that they have, but hopefully that changes soon

Ran fine on rooted stock when I bought it a while back. Pretty graphics but it's more like watching a movie with predictive actions. After a few tries got bored and uninstalled it.
I'm on stock unrooted and it works perfectly. Very smooth.

mine lags... almost unplayable.
Could it be possible that some 'variants' of Nexus 7 runs fine?
Let s try to discover what are the settings of those who runs it smooth and copy it.
I will begin to test it here.

I disabled the force gpu under developer and it got way way better. Now it is playable. My nexus frooze while playing. I will increase the voltage and how it works.
Nice...i will keep testing

Tegra 3 graphics

Any way to enable the extra settings in something other than dead trigger?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
you want physics (physix) like in nvidia pc games, you require an actual tegra but for many games you don't , see link below, haven't tested it myself

chainfire 3d injects the modules between the game and phone to make tegra run on normal devices. he unfortunately dropped support,
No. There is no way to just "turn them on" Those modules are written specifically for tegra 3. Let's say you got the tegra 3 .apk of dead trigger or the boat racing game(can't remember the name) the apk would crash upon starting because its not written for our processors. The s4 wouldn't know what the hell to do lol.
Chain fire is an option but like he said, no support anymore.

In the end all mobile 3D games are atm _only_ using OpenGLES2 as graphics api. So every game could run on every phone with a powerful GPU. Sometimes it is as easy as just changing config values like in the unity based game dead trigger. When investing more time during development you can optimize your game for special GPUs: Use api extensions to speed up performance or to make the graphics look more nice. Use special texture compressions for performance and memory footprint, use special and or binary shaders, etc, etc. All this leads to the game is only running on a special GPU with the provided resources, but this happens only in the last step during development and doesn't mean that any game is heavily/only optimized for e.g. tegra. It's only fine tuning to compensate their moderate mobile GPU design atm...

Modern Combat 4 Performance

Hi. Yesterday finally i can make this awsome game to run on my ouya.. But i feel this game not running well. I buy the moga pro controller but the game performance is not good. How i can get better performance of this game on ouya?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
I dont think that the game has been optimized for quad core yet. Never the less I know the 720p hack helped performance out.
I've been running this game on my nexus 7, which is running the same gpu, however the ouya os is not fully tweaked, when custom kernels and roms start to flourish, there will be more game compatibility and better performance
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
You can download the Trickster Mod app from the Play store and set the governor to "performance" and it runs a lot smoother.
The game plays smooth on my Excite 7.7 and TF300. Both Tegra 3 devices.

[Q] Modern Combat 5 Graphics

Hello everyone, I am a new user here (actually I've been using XDA for help since ages!).
I created this new thread since there wasn't a thread like this since the game launched.
So I installed Modern Combat 5 on my Nexus 4 which is running stock 4.4.4 KitKat and Franco kernel with 1.944 GHz over clock and 450 MHz GPU over clock. The thing is, I can't enable Ultra Graphics settings in the game. There are only three settings in-game I.e. Quality-optimal-performance. I enabled the quality settings but it doesn't enable the graphics as seen in trailers or high end smartphone gameplays. I checked out Shared prefs folder in data/data/com.GLoFTMC5(something like that I don't remember)/shared prefs and opened each and every file but I couldn't find any graphics settings! Can someone help me to enable the ultra graphics? Thanks and greatly appreciated!
Looks like it will take some time figuring it out!

get the app gltools (chainfire 3d might work too) install, find the game in the app, enable custom settings, use fake gpu, and set template ---> tegra shield(tegra4) this will work 100%! have fun with full effects
I tried gltools once when I was on 4.4.3 and it didn't turn out so good. My device got stuck in bootloop and I uninstalled it from recovery (fortunately it created an uninstall zip file for gltools).

I have enabled it. The game lags on max settings when something explodes.

Yes, the game lags a little during explosion . have you overclocked your nexus? I have @1.944 GHz and [email protected] MHz so the game stays on 30 fps constant and during explosions around 17-20 fps. Oh and also the I use intellithermal instead of thermald and have it at 75° C before the CPU throttles down (although when playing the game, CPU's max temp is around 65°)

I have a good PC
But I don't run it on 1.944 all the times. Usually I keep it @1.1 GHz with snake charmer (2 cores offline) and when gaming 1.512 GHz and when playing games like dead trigger 2/Real Racing 3/MC5 I over clock it to 1.9 GHz

My device is an Asus TF701T (Tegra 4) and the game looks so ugly.. I also can't change the graphics it only says optimal. Looks like the resolution of the textures isn't optimized for QHD screens
