[Q] Rendering some apps in 720p

I am wondering if there is any way to make some apps for example 3D games render in 720p instead of 1080p. This could be usefull for more performance in some games that could use that or to conserve battery while gaming, because the GPU can then work at a lower frequency and a lower voltage.
I know it is possible to make apps run in custom dpi settings
But I would like to know if there is any way to run an app in an custom resolution like 1280x720 or 800x480.
My I9505 is rooted, running KT kernel and its on 4.4.2 touchwizz.

will changing dpi and resolution help battery and performance?

will changing dpi and resolution help battery and performance?Idont really watch videos and play much games.i set to 1080p 495 dpi and it looks nice

I haven't tried on my 6P, but I did it on my old LG G3 and all it did was make the screen look terrible. I don't have the link to the thread, but other G3 owners tended to agree with me. Nobody could find any battery or speed improvements. Maybe it'll help on the 6P but I wouldn't bet on it.

I doubt it. 1080p doesn't go into 1440p so it'll will look bad and will not improve battery life because it's still outputting 1440p

Game resolution

Does anyone know of an app that lowers a game's resolution for better performance? I'm on lineage 15.1 and on stock I remember it had an option to but I need some kind of graphics tool for gaming.

you mean gltools? i dont see the point now since allot of game use Vulcan rendering

He is most likely talking about the built in LG game Battery Saver option that let you change the resolution from 2k to 1080p or 720p and had a few other options like frame rate and stuff
I don't know of any 3rd party "universal" apps that would let you do this unfortunately.

does game mode really work?

Hey.
Does game mode really improve the performance of my phone?
So you use it??

If you mean the game mode of the game suite, I have not noticed any particular improvement, perhaps it depends on the games. But I've just discovered an interesting trick to greatly increase the framerate and graphics settings, just go into the phone settings, display, screen resolution and set up 1280x720 then in HD, I tested Shadowgun Legends and is playable even ultra graphics and it is really very fluid! The phone heats up even less, and the framerate increases a lot. Obviously the screen will be slightly blurred but that does not compromise the playability. I've also tested Injustice 2 and it's much smoother and smoother than Full HD. So lowering the resolution to 720p you have a real performance boost! A bit like what happens in PC games. I hope it will come in handy to some of you, and let me know!

Oneplus 8 pro touch latency is bad for gaming

Hello everyone.
I have converted from Rog Phone 2 to Oneplus 8 Pro as the bottom port of my rog phone 2 got damaged and was giving hot temperature warning all the time. My model is IN2020. I am a gamer and I have noticed that as compared to rog phone 2 the touch is slow as I do not think it to be 240hz touch sampling rate at all. I play pubg at 90 fps using [email protected] and same display settings for COD Mobile but 60 fps. I can feel the slow touch response even while scrolling. I would like to know if someone has converted from gaming phone and having the same problem.
Thanks

As a gamer on pc and phones (emulators not the games you've mentioned) I play at 144hz and 200hz on a G-Sync Acer predator z35, but it's dependent on the game and if I can push those FPS, just because a screen is capable doesn't mean your CPU/GPU is.
I would recommend matching the game refresh rate.
You've got a 30fps overhead there PUBG and a 60fps overhead on cod.
Reduce the QHD to FHD, the difference is negligible.
If any of these games can actually run at 120hz then I'd recommend using 120hz, make sure game mode is on for these apps.
Make sure you are actually getting a locked 120fps not 90 or 60.
Remove any other motion smoothing for these apps, they won't help and will reduce input.

Well I have turned the display resolution to FHD+. The touch response is better now than QHD+.

Yep I found the same, that's input lag induced by the resolution though, not the touch display.
