Adreno vs Tegra vs PowerVR - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any performance-wise issues with the Adreno? Specifically when it comes HD gaming (I'm talking about NFS Most Wanted, N.O.V.A 3 etc)...
I have one bad example to share with the Adreno.
A friend has Xperia S that has Adreno GPU. NFS MW lags like hell...runs super smooth on my PowerVR...
So...don't you think a Tegra 3 would have been cherry on the icing...

I heard that adreno is fine with HD gaming. But i really don't like tegra 3 because it's not that good processor in my opinion

This thread is interesting. Brb and will look for that subscribe button.

Xperia S has an Adreno 220, N4 has Adreno 320. Big difference here. I'm pretty sure it stacks up against others just fine.

Adreno320 completely destroys a Tegra3, not even close......
but I don't know about the other chip that was asked about.

powervr chips are probably overall the most efficient, powerful and supported. iphone uses powervr gpu's so the compatibility and ports are a lot easier. the adreno 320 seems to be a pretty powerful gpu. tegra3 just isn't there yet. nvidia makes great desktop and mobile pc gpu's but they're still kind of green in the phone market. the tegra3 isn't a slouch but as far as power efficiency and support there are 2 better options.

So, so far powerVR is the strongest..I mean, A320 isn't out yet in any device right...

Which I should choose Powervr sgx544 ,Andreno 220,Tegra 3 or Mali
And what about files for games all the files for this devices will be different or the same

Power VR is probably better as all ios devices have them so games ported from iPhone don't need to be gpu optimised

I want to know that I am having device named MICROMAX CANVAS HD A116 ARM7 POWERVR with 1.2 quadcore processor.
what about if I downloaded An Andreno file and installed it on my phone it will run or not.
And which GPU is best ANDRENO,POWERVR ,MALI or TEGRA.
I got this problem many times when I download a modded game from any other site and I download Andreno then after running that game
It shows a message sgx is not found download it from google play store.But they dont have any apk or datafiles for my POWERVR GPU so what can I do.is there any way to convert that apk into another GPU's apk.

What version of android does this phone run as ICS and below allow chainfire 3d app to be installed which had plugins that helped different games work. It also fixed the market settings so you could download them. Loved that app.

This is why benchmarks are not everything!!!

The hummingbird chipset always use to beat the snapdragon S2 chipset in 3D graphics performance. In short the powerVR SGX 540 was considered significantly better than the adreno 205.
But I have seen phones with the S2 chipset which just run games better than nexus S. Even the sony phones with 512MB ram manage to run GTA3 and temple run totally smooth without any mods or hacks just all stock. Whereas nexus S cant without doing all sorts of tweaking.
I suppose game devs dont support the hummingbird chipset well which is really surprising given how well the galaxy S performed in the market. Maybe samsung should actively work with devs? What is the point of creating the fastest GPU's if they dont get the support? There are some very graphically intensive games that run smoothly like asphalt 6 and 9mm HD so obviously the hardware is there.
I am disappoint with nexus S gaming support.

I most certainly agree with you. however, you must realise, the Nexus S is considered to be a developer's device, not a consumer device, designed for coding and easy hacking, not UX. if you want a consumer device, go look somewhere else.

Gnex have TI OMAP 4460 CPU processor...
how it is compare to exynos SGSII???
For GPU many said that Mali-400MP SGSII is better than PowerVR SGX540 Gnex..
they said..I just have I9100T but dont have Gnex..So I cant compare..not a single of my friend use Gnex also..
Saw youtube videos where galaxy nexus was lagging in GTA 3 lol. Galaxy nexus isnt a weak phone, it's just not adequately armed for the massive 720p resolution. The galaxy S2 has WVGA resolution which is why it can still match pretty much any of the newer phones in 3D benchmarks. Having a lower resolution is a serious advantage for gaming smoothness. And that makes the case of the nexus S a bit more disappointing as it doesnt exactly have very high resolution even for its time.
For a real comparison I would suppose it would be better to compare S2 with sensation. The S2 beats it handily in benchmarks so it would be interesting to see if it translates to real world performance advantage.
As far as UI smoothness is concerned the nexus S is right among the smoothest single core phones I have used. The hardware is clearly very capable just that game support from devs seem to be lacking maybe because the snapdragon S2 is used in so many phones whereas the hummingbird is only used in 2 phones.
I think the OP is talking about the Quallcomm Snapdragon S2 chipset but not about the Galaxy S2 (Adreno 205 vs PowerVR 540SGX NOT Mali-400MP vs PowerVR 540SGX).
You took the discussion to the wrong side, i think...

Haha well I just figured why the S2 and galaxy nexus were brought in the equation.
I wish we had real gaming benchmarks instead of synthetic. Yes I was comparing nexus S GPU with adreno 205.

Anyone think Samsung Should use Tegra?

Hi,
One thing I havent seen many people talk about is the fact that S3/2 and the Note lack the Tegra SoC. I Kknow Samsung likes to use their own Exynos, but sometimes I hate the fact that I cant run those THD games which admittedly many are quality games. And.in some cases like Riptide and Shadowgun you do get some extra eye-candy over the regular versions. This is one area were the HTC One X wins I think....the ability to play those high quality THD versions of the game. Im also sure you can root and use chainfire, but sometimes I wish the galaxy line would use the Tegra 3 and have the widest game compatibility. For me this is the biggest downside to what for me is.the perfect phone.
Anyone feel the same?

I hear ya!!!
I really miss my Tegra goodness...
Many will say that by using this or using that you can make Tegra games run on non-tegra devices, and that's partially true, however true Tegra graphics are much better...
There are many shader effects missing on those non-tegra devices.
I would really love to see a Tegra based Note (even though I know that would never happen)...

Tegra processors are usually on the low-end of available options.
Eg/
SGS: Exynos 3110 = 170
Droid2 : OMAP 3630 = 160
NexusOne: QSD 8250 = 130
HTC prototype: Tegra APX 650 = 100
SGS 2: Exynos 4210 = 140
Sensation XL: QSD 8255= 130
Optimus 3D: OMAP 4330 = 120
Atrix 4G: Tegra2 = 100
SGS 3: Exynos 4412 = 130
*OMAP Skipped Generation* = N/A
Optimus 4X: Tegra3 = 110
OneS: Krait S4-dual = 100
By having early and direct access to their own manufacturing facility, Samsung can develop chips that are slightly faster than the competition and produce them at lower costs.
Apple tends to strongarm the market with early business deals and access to manufacturing facilities too, though not on Samsung's scale. Fortunately for Apple, they don't need the fastest, they need "good enough" at the cheapest price. Since iOS will run faster than Android, due to better and direct optimizations, Apple's offerings can consequently be even faster than Samsung's.
Say all you want about Tegra being on the low-end side, but when it comes to gaming graphics they simply blow the competition out of the water!

When it comes to the GPU, Nvidia are using competitive offerings.
For instance, the one in Tegra 1 (APX 650) was top-tier in its era, but not the best.
This is forgivable as they were new to the mobile market.
With the Tegra2, nVidia did offer a great chip.
It was about on-par/higher than the SGX540... but it was surpassed with the new drivers and higher clocked SGX540 from OMAP4470. And not to mention the quadcore Mali-400 (SGS2) that embarassed it.
With the Tegra3, there's nothing new.
They offer a gpu that was better than their competitors, but the competitors are rolling out their new gpu. Qualcomm with their new Adreno. Samsung with the T604. Omap with the SGX544mp4. In fact the new A5X gpu is superior to the Tegra3 gpu. Don't forget about the PS Vita either.
here's an interesting article: http://blog.laptopmag.com/tablet-chip-showdown-nvidia-tegra-3-vs-the-new-ipads-a5x
Soon, Tegra3 will be a "mid-entry" SoC, or even a "low-mid" one.
The only advantage the Tegra chips have is the TegraZone. Deeper integration of the software to the gpu, that's how nVidia levels the field.
So you are in fact incorrect. They don't blow the competition out of the water!
They fragment the competition, which I believe is wrong. I think that either nVidia must try harder (they're a friggin graphics company!!!) or that the TegraZone enhancements should be in the AOSP and give all competitors a chance to provide the best software (drivers producing, kernels processing, roms consuming) for their hardware.
With greater competition, the consumers win.
I'd rather have the better Exynos processor than some crappy Tegra games which I might show off once and then never play again...

nvidia is a GFX Company. They'll pay for people develop stuff for their products.
Tegra 3 is inferior to the Mali 400 MP. Ask the developer to make a version of their game using all Mali 400MP Features.
Blame the developer not the GPU itself.

A few Samsungs run Tegras - they have piss poor performance, abysmal video decoding capability, etc. See Tab 10.1 as an example - the tegra2 in that is a POS compared to Exynos4.
NVidia is always first to up the core count but always delivers poor performance per core.
Similarly, the Exynos 4412 smokes the Tegra 3 when total system performance is taken into account.
It's kind of odd that the SoC that comes from a company whose specialty is GPUs is the worst in terms of 2D video performance (codec support) and average at best for 3D.
On top of that they use some funky texture compression format not compatible with anything else unless you use Chainfire 3D.

No. The gpu in the Tegra 3 is slightly superior to the quadcore Mali-400, not a huge stretch.
But each "generation" nVidia have been the the inferior products, especially in the graphics components (irony?). However, they offset this because they're first to market.

That's exactly right.
Its about the entire offering software AND hardware optimization, not one without the other.
I rather have a 1GB RAM and Tegra2 rather than 2GB RAM and Exynos 4410... just as long as the software is optimized (for instance, lower-level API support using Qt and Mainline Linux.... compared to higher-order virtual engine running on a inferior kernel).
I think your arguments are all invalid. Especially on this forum.
Just install chainfire 3d pro and you can run all those THD games flawlessly and in real world performance mali blows tegra out of the sky.
tegra gets no love nowadays

Even though Chainfire allow us to run Tegra games, it does not do a good job emulating the shader effects present in the actual games. Games look flat and dull compared to the original.

The clock for core and total clock?
the iPhone 5 no mini lags very smonth ,nexus 4 little lag why?

IPhone also has lower resolution so it pushes fewer pixels and the os is different and very simple like bb10 or wp8.

Benchmarks (which include off-screen tests so resolution doesn't matter) have shown that the N4 has the superior GPU. As stated above it's more to do with the app/game optimisation than the devices themselves. I don't think he means on the homescreen because my N4 at the very least has never stuttered here, but on occasion it does in games.
EDIT: See posts below, apparently I was wrong

I find it's normally crappy qualcomm governors that make games lag/jitter on android.
here are some very simple to apply settings...
ondemand, down_differential 30, up_threshhold 70 .. smooths everything out, app scrolling, games.. great on battery too.
also try to use a kernel without 'thalamos or whatever hotplugging mpdecision replacement' or you get that jitter effect at the end of scrolling screens when it slows to a stop.
Adreno 320 is the faster GPU but apple had iOS optimized for its CPU and GPU hence why its more smooth on games than Android since not all apps are optimized for it each CPU and GPU. Except the Nvidia's tegra and some games that have it optimized for Tegra.

Don't be silly Imaginations makes the best GPUs, the SGX normally trump the competition. It's important to note the SGX 6 aka Rogue is suppose to come out some time and it will be the proper competition for Tegra 4 & Adreno 330.

Evidently I was wrong in my earlier post. However, I'm certain I remember seeing some benchmarks which favoured the N4 on YouTube, perhaps they were done on a custom ROM/Kernel or something.

Mobile processors, especially tablets, are approaching the 360 in raw power (but not there yet), but emulating it is a completely different story. Emulation means simulating hardware through software, which is an extremely intensive task. You need a processor that's about *100* times as powerful as what you're trying to emulate. So check back in a decade or two...

Emulation means simulating hardware through software, which is an extremely intensive task. You need a processor that's about *100* times as powerful as what you're trying to emulate. So check back in a decade or two...

No chance.... 15 - 20 years, even longer for a phone.
It's not just the CPU you're emulating, but the GPU, and that is going to be extremely tough going.
No... Just no.. 1) like someone else said you'd need to emulate the gpu. 2) you'd be emulating the ENTIRE cpu. Xbox360's CPU is PowerPC based. Plus it has 3 cores/6 threads. More threads than the quad snapdragon does.
So it'll be pretty much impossible.

which version are you referring to? quad 19505 s4 does have adreno 320 but i believe it is slightly overclocked, so it has higher frequency and much better in gaming. As for 19500 s4, it has PowerVR 544mp3. so both of them are good but only optimization can tell whether they can run smoothly or no.

The PowerVR of the i9500 is pretty much par with the Adreno 320 (overclocked) of the i9505.
Either way, it'll be more than enough to blast through modern cell phone games.

Exactly! Just leave this to Samsung since they are the one who will contact game devs to do optimization with Adreno 320 and PowerVR 544mp3 .

yes but the ADreno 320 have more future Proof and the VR GPU is more old than the Adreno...

It's on par for now because apps are still using opengl ES 2.0. Once apps start using opengl ES 3.0 the powervr is going to be lagging far behind, I am thinking especially about emulators such as dolphin where the move is planned and would allow the emulator to gain almost 10fps on average. Otherwise as far as day to day use goes both gpus act about the same.
