[Q] Anyone Try 4x Anti-aliasing? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Bad graphic performance

Hi guys,
like many of you. i just received nexus 10 yesterday after some basic browsing, everything went fine.
now i want to try google earth to see how screen will perform. it was so laggy to the unusable.
then i tried some tablet made game (http://machinarium.net/), is also very slow.
please see youtube video 1 & video 2.
so is my unit defected? or this normal can anyone confirm please.
thank you in advance
Games running very badly
Overall Responsiveness?
On the first link, some people there are also experiencing some FPS issues, but a possible fix for that seems to be to Force GPU Acceleration. The second link has a reviewer mentioning dropped frames a lot, which might mean it could be a common experience. Forcing GPU Acceleration though might help.

Force gpu didn't seem to affect Machinarium on mine

Runs slow for me too. Its not just you. I have a feeling...and I hope I'm wrong. The resolution this thing outputs cannot be handled by the GPU in graphic intensive games...

Instead of knee jerking why don't you send an email to the developers to report the issue and find out when they're going to optimize their apps for Nexus 10.
If demanding games like NFS MW, Dead Trigger, MC 3, etc. run smoothly I don't how they can't optimize that child's game.

Lag Playing Spider-Man Unlimited

Hello guys,
First of all I have a great time playing any games so far on my 910C, even heavy ones, but Spider-man Unlimited is giving me a pretty hard time! Most of you will say the game is butter smooth, and it is on the first hour or so of gameplay. When you advance in the game a lot of explosions and stuff start to pop up and the frame rate goes down. When you fight Electro the lag is unbearable. Keep in mind that my unit is not a fake or faulty.
What I have tried so far:
Downscaling resolution with NoMone Resolution Changer.
Disabling DVFS.
Emulating different GPUs and lowering the render resolution using GLToos (graphics optimizer)
Setting the governor to performance.
Disabling activities in the background.
Different combinations of the above.
And for my surprise none of these seemed to make a huge effect.
Yet to try:
Messing with the thermal throttle (haven't seen how yet).
I obviously don't have power saving mode on and sync is off. It's clear the game is not optimized and I'm aware that some other flagships have the same issue, but I'm looking for a way to fix this as I'm really addicted to the game and the lag is killing me.
Any ideas? Thanks.
U pretty much tried what u could, so the only thing really left is to email the dev and wait for it to be optimized for our phone. At least ur not one of the many people on xda that is like, oh why does the snapdragon suck, why is this phone so slow blah blah blah. Those people really annoy me that the first thing they blame is the chip/gpu, when it's clearly the software not being optimized.

Sure, the optimization for this game is laughable. Btw GLTools caused me random reboots and didn't solve the problem so I uninstalled it.

I use GLTools for enhancing, and don't run into problems. Like 16x anti aliasing, optimized shaders, and half float hack on my lwp+ apex+all widgets so everything looks it's best. I set it like that on games like gta as well.

Nice to hear!
My freezes followed by restarts were caused by disabling dvfs (incompatibility of some apps I guess).
Maybe this game is impossible to optimize from our end, so I'll leave it as it is. But it was good to make the post for other people having similar issues with this and other games.

Any feedback from snapdragon users?
The Ultimate Kernel helped a lot! Totally recommend it (intended to the C version, check the main thread for other versions)! If you crank every setting up and manage to keep the phone cold if really flies, but even just swapping the kernel improved gameplay.

S7 Edge Exynos GPU throttle

I've been using s7 exynos variant for quite some time and it's a very nice phone but there's one huge problem with it, when I start playing some games like modern combat 5, Hit etc at first I get 60 fps then after some time the performance drops. It's probably due to aggressive gpu throttle as the device barely gets warm. Is there any way to disable the gpu throttle?
Have you tried Samsung Games Tuner on playstore?
I'm playing a pretty graphically intensive game and I don't have problems. Are you on power saver mode?

My phone is rooted with xposed installed so I'm ready to make some modifications to the system
BUMP
Firstly, i have no idea what modifications you could make as i dont have any issues like what you report.
Secondly, modifying any throttling is inherently dangerous. A slight tweak and your phone could overheat and batteries tend to explode when overheated! You've been warned!
I would suggest you look at whether its an app issue before doing something that could brick, damage or destroy you phone. Its also kinda jumping the gun a little to say straight away its GPU throttling as it could be CPU doing work of the GPU due to a dev error (and thats seriously slow!) or even a delay due to loading graphics from an SD card etc.
Also, it could very well be root related...

Try uninstalling xposed and be happy with a phone which works as it should (and gain the ~25% performance lost because of xposed...)

Thanks but I have had this problem before installing xposed
It's not root related, i know exactly what you're talking about. I sold my S6, got an S7 just because of this problem. Exact same problem. Now i have the S7 edge, still the same. I dont know what's the problem, but it's very annoying.
Works fine on my shield tablet though
All i can suggest now is to wait for Modern Combat Versus, hopefully it will be better optimised, with Vulkan support
Update : So I recently updated my phone with Nougat and the problem still exists BUT I have noticed something weird, As I said before the game loses fps in less than a minute (it's still quite playable but it's definitely not 60fps), when I press the recent button/key and jump out of the game and press it again and get right into it again I start getting 60fps, then again after a minute I lose the frames.

This is exactly what happened to me,and weird thing you mentioned has been there since marshmallow,this is very weird,some games that isn't even gpu extensive also experience fps drops here and there on both my snapdragon s7 edge and exynos s7
Also weird such a beast machine couldn't run psp emulator without fps drop
Been waiting for more than half year for the fix or solution without rooting

Hi, I'm having exactly the same problem with my S7 Edge and I'm getting crazy trying to develop my little 3D game.
Did you find any solution to this yet? Did you try to contact Samsung?
Thanks for help!

I think I've found a solution but it requires root. if your device is rooted then install any kernel manager that supports your rom (I use EX Kernel Manager) and choose the "high performance" profile for both the cpu and gpu. no overclocking is required. now I get full fps all the time. Actually the device throttles the cpu after some time when a resource heavy app is launched (I've done my own testing with on-screen cpu monitor app) so selecting a high performance profile disables the throttling but keep in mind, the device tends to get hotter than usual but not too much. hope this helps

Gaming on Mi A1

Hello everyone
I have been using this Mi A1 from a month or so and playing games like 8 ball pool,shadow fight 2,asphalt 8,clash of clans and more.
Whenever i play shadow fight 2 there appears a message saying that the FPS(frames per second) on this device is low please set the graphics quality to low and after doing that the game lags like hell.
And even 8 ball pool difficult to play as aiming is really difficult.
Then i searched the internet and found something in developer options Force 4X MMSA for increasing FPS but after enabling that the game still lagged.
Has anyone experienced the same problem as i did or it is just my phone.
And my device is not rooted.
Please tell your experience and if you know the solution to my problem.
Thanks in advance
Everythink works fine on me. No lag on shadow fight 2. I've done 4-5 fights in row and everything runs smothly.

Thank you for giving me your company??.
Just joking as soon as I get free from my exams I'll go to the service centre and ask for the solution to it.
Got the solution.
Just reflash the stock rom.img file via fastboot it works pretty well for me.

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.
