[Q] Anyone Try 4x Anti-aliasing?

Has anyone tried running a game with the force 4x MSAA on? (Multi-sample anti-aliasing).
Replied in the game thread, but wanted better visibility. I just haven't had time to install a game yet and wanted to know if it works.

Just tried it out in Shadowgun Deadzone and what few jaggies there were at this screen's resolution are gone. Running great with Tegra effects enabled.

Good to know. I want to try it w/Nova 3.

It'll be surprising if this setting doesn't destroy FPS.

Precisely why I'm asking.

That Mali GPU has a lot of bandwidth, which should help mitigate framerate loss with AA on.

I just tried it with GTA3 and as soon as I turned it on the game stopped running as smooth. It would like pause the image for half a second every two seconds or so. If I turn it off runs smooth.

Yeah I'd imagine it differs greatly from game to game. But, you should try lowering the resolution in GTA3 and then turning on MSAA, you should be able to get it to look almost as good with a performance bump.

Games not working as they are supposed to...

Hi friends, this is my first thread in this forum and i'm a complete noob in android.
i got my note 2 on 7 dec and it has been running nicely but i got a problem from some 1 to 2 days ago, i have some games in my phone and have been playing since i got the phone but now there's a problem, when i play each game it gets stuck for few milliseconds then running with more than normal speed and this process is going on continuously(i.e. stopping for some ms and running with more than normal speed again and again, so we can say in general that the games are running with more than normal speed)
Please help me on this one and provide some solution, thanks in advance
[extra details: i tried uninstalling some games when i thought it might be their problem, but it didn't fix the problem.]
(i can add a video if you want)

Stock rom or custom. .. kernel? ... what games is this happening on. ..etc are the details that are needed

Power saver mode on?... switch it off if you want to play graphics intense games. ....
Else try factory reset

nope power saver mode is not on, tried switching off but even small games were not working normally, i'll try factory reset when there's no option available(i've downloaded more than 2gb in there so i think it'd take time to download that again on a 2g connection lol), anyway thanks for your help but please do try to think of any other option thats left

I think I might be having this same problem, though not with the same gravity as you do. For instance, sometimes while playing something like Temple Run, the game will get stuck for a few milliseconds and then as soon as it starts again the game would run on super speed for a few milliseconds, thus essentially resulting in the death of my character as I wouldn't be able to control it. It's almost as if the system is compensating for being sruck fir those few milli seconds. But this happens once in maybe 10 games, and I haven't yet seen it in any other game. This never used to happen when I was playing the same game on any other android devices I had. Maybe it's a bug in some note 2 decices, or maybe a bug in the game itself?

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.

can this be because of some app i installed?
and @SacGuru in my phone it is happening the same but really fast and continuously so you know there's continuity but because of constantly getting stuck it does not make the game look good and also this happening all of the games, and when i tried uninstalling and installing again it didnt solve my problem but what it did was delete all my savegames

oh hey guys i just figured out the problem, sorry for your time lol, it was an app which used to start power saving mode on its own i turned it off a few times and then i got suspicious and found the app and changed its settings and now everything is working fine
BTW thanks for your help

I told you so ...lol. ....anyways good to be of help

Pokemon Go & Lag?

I am looking at buying this phone. Is anyone currently playing this game and does it lag at all? My concerns are solo and group gym battles. Are they playable? Would anyone be able to get the fps for gym battles? You can use GLTools XDA [root] or FPSMeter

Everything work fine , except FPS drop in sub-menu like showing a pokémon under pokémon menu , everything else is 60fps

That's great to hear! I almost bought the phone this morning. Sorry to keep harping on this question, but how's the solo and group gym battles? I'm worried about this the most. Do you play during the day when it gets hot? I heard the phone overheats a bit which would be underclocking and slowing down gym battles. Thanks for the reply.

no problems with battles , only the when you view the stat page of a pokémon (20fps) , everything else is 30FPS (game limitation with unity , every phone are limited to 30fps) !

That's so good to hear! I can live with lower frames when viewing my Pokemon. Battles are the only thing that matters. What software are you using to view frames? I am curious, because I use GLTools XDA. Thanks again for the feedback. What level are you and your team? A fellow blood brother?

I use gltools without tweaks ^^
I'm red , level 17 , but in France X)

Just a fair warning, if you visit a place with a lot of Pokestops (like a major city) the game can tend to lag a lot. Mostly when there's a lot of lures active because of the petals being rendered everywhere. But it's definitely still playable.

Thanks for letting me this. My current phone can't handle populated areas.

Gaming performance really, REALLY bad

I've had this phone before the Oreo update. Antutu V6 showed super smooth graphics... that apparently don't translate into real-world usage.
For this example I'll talk about Real Racing 3, but it goes for any game.
On Nougat it would have this bug where it would run at about 40fps, then when I paused and resumed the race, it would be at a smooth 60fps for about 2 seconds. Thought the Oreo update would allow 60fps all the time like I know it should do.
I downloaded Real Racing 3 again after months, and now on default settings, at 1080p, I get about 15-25fps constantly. Pausing and resuming doesn't help any more.
So this game and many others that I used to love and play at a decent framerate on my previous phone, which had adreno 330 graphics, look almost unplayably horrid. Even skips frames on games like Color Switch which runs without a hitch on my brother's Moto C.
It's seriously worse than I would expect even a $200 device to be! And this phone cost $650 at release?!
Anyone else had these issues? Has anyone solved this for themselves?
Thanks.

I was having the same issue.If you have updated by OTA then flash the rom again using LGUP & do a factory reset using keys.I was getting heavy lag on MCVS,PUBG & heat issue almost same as yours.My issue is gone now.Also don't forget to turn off break time on Oreo in game center.
Look how smooth it runs now while screen recorder is on at 2k.

Might try this, thanks.
What are any major places where flashing the firmware could go wrong, and does the device need to be rooted? Thanks again!

Thats why i never play mobile Crap Games on a Phone, i dont like to charge again after 2 Hours.
Buy a Computer or Playstation, this is just a much better feeling, than those mobile Crap with tons of Ads.

I'm a PC gamer as well. Unfortunately I can't take my rig with me to places and use it on the bus or whatever, and there are no PC versions of most of the games I play and enjoy on the phone. We don't need posts like this, thanks.

Anyway, I think it must partly be optimisation because CSR2 is running smoothly.
Edit: sometimes

For All The People Who Faces Lag in Games or Generally using the device!

Today I found something interesting happened to my phone it was running buttery smooth like it should be (821), and most of all the game i play everyday wasnt lagging at all, PUBG
Solution: DO NOT USE SMART CLEANING app or any other kind of it, your phone will start running smooth in next 3 4 days or maybe less.
Try this and share me your experiences.
Comment to let me know you're trying this.

Thanks. I'll give it a try and see if it makes a difference, because the amount of lag I experience while playing Cytus II is unbearably bad and makes the game nearly unplayable.

So dont use anything at all and itll work smooth? ok ill try that

Hi
Are you referring to the Smart Doctor build in app?
Did you disable or uninstall it?

It's been 3 days and I've reached a verdict. Doing as the OP said actually made games run better. By that, I mean I disabled Smart Cleaning via LG Package Disabler and deleted Google Files Go.
I'm not kidding about this helping. Cytus II is playable now at full 1440p 60fps, with very few lagspikes. Other games I've played, like Alto's Odyssey, run somewhat better as well.
Go try it out yourself, it may help a lot!

The name is "Smart Cleaning" app. No disable/uninstall, I'm just not using it that's it. You can disable/uninstall it if you want.

After a factory reset a couple days ago the antutu graphics benchmark got noticeably choppier, especially the "marooned" scene which was previously completely fluid. That was a disappointment since that was one of the reasons for going through that process! I've now removed Google files go and I will see if that makes a difference, I hope it does. If so, thank you in advance.
Btw I think you meant "1440p" (QHD) not "2160p", that's 4k! ?

Yeah, that's right. Thanks for pointing that out!

This is serious guys, I deleted Smart Cleaning by ADB and my gaming experience increase magically, Shadowgun Legends can run quite good with Ultra high 60fps setting, it couldn't do that before. Unbelievable
PS: Tested only with latest Android 7.0

I have zero lag and i use smart doctor every other day.

Well, two weeks from when i see this thread and i stop using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app, just to say, this guy is right, using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app will (somehow, and i dont know how and why) make you phone laggy and in my tests if i open it like between 2 or 3 days and make a clean all UI and the app frezzes and i need to wait almost 1 minute to phone get out of the app and all be OK again.
So, my test really gives reason to this guy and i will delete the app from the phone, and i recomend all people with rooted G6 to do the same and use CCleaner instead to clean cache from apps and so on...
to the guy who discover the guilty of the lag: i cant pay you a beer, but you will be my hero forever.

Not working for me unfortunately... Still quite a bit of lag playing heavier games like csr2, Rr3 (practically unplayable), hungry shark world ?

I've had the phone since September last year and I don't think I've used it for more than 10 times. It lags anyway. Lowering the resolution does wonders, but it has some bugs that I don't like so I've switched back to lag.

If you are rooted, I highly recommend installing the new Adreno 530 driver, there is a decent improvement in games and definitely in Antutu...

does this stil work as of now?

This reads like bull****. What is "smart cleaning"? Is it supposed to be an app? The instructions are super unclear.
Smart Doctor cannot be disabled either. You can just disable it running in the background.
