GPU war. Nexus s vs epic 4g

I've just recently noticed this. But benchmarks yield crappier gpu results in the nexus s than the epic. For example the corridor test on my epic oc'd to 1.3ghz rubs at 40+ fps. The lowest its dropped is 35 fps and the highest was 50fps. Meanwhile the nexus s is running 10-15 fps slower. I thought this was just some issue with my buds nexus s but I just youtubed some benches and found the same results. Anyone else notice this? Why? Same hardware and I expected the nexus s to actually do better since its got official gb and the epic doesn't. I'm kind of baffled here.

Well I just ran smartbench side by side to the ns4g. Much better result there. I guess the ns4gs gpu drivers are much different somewhere down the road. The "planet" test on quadrant ran at a horrid 11fps while it stays at a constant 56fps on the epic.

I've had the same results while comparing benches on my Epic and my Nexus S, but it's only Quadrant. Real world graphics performance is just as good if not better than the Epic's. Other benchmarkkng programs don't seem to have the same discrepancies.

No need to feel bad. It just emphasizes the innacuracy of benchmarks

You have the Premium app so all you have to do is touch on a post (like to quote them) and you should have a "thank" option...as long as you are on the most current version of XDA Premium. Not that I am fishing for thanks..just an FYI

Thank Tapatalk, it's in their app which is what the xda app is built from.
@xda, build some transparent versions of the premium app and I'll pay the $1.50 for it!

Nexus on daily speed blows my old Epic away but it lacks in web browsing and some games that my epic could handle perfectly fine. I always wondered the reason behind that.

So along with that you emailed him the log file the app dumped when you ran the program right?
Along with a CWM3 compatible kernel for our device?
The two things which he needs in order to support different devices?
Like he states in the 1st few posts?
Of course you did

I think any phone that supports sdhc cards will accept the 32gb. So your atrix should be fine

I don't see how ROM size could have anything to do with battery life.

Less bloat = less back/foreground running processes = less battery drain.

Chameleon OS

Jus throwing this out there since i cant get into development myself yet. If some of the talented devs for the OG epic would wanna try to port this to our phones. I mean we got damn near ever other rom that been comin out so why not this one. Here is a link if someone wants to read up on it like i said jus seeing if anyone is interested in trying to port. From what i read its based of CM10.1 so i dont see why we wouldnt be able to use it. http://www.chameleonos.org/index.php

This would not go in development. You posted in the correct place.

Lol I do what I can. I don't have my PC at the moment. Had to send it for repairs. Should be back fairly soon though. When it is, I will throw something your way. I'll need a tester though since I got rid of the epic.
