Fortnite on Mi A2 - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion

Why Fortnite doesn't work on Mi A2/6X, Mi Pad 4 and other Snapdragon 660 devices and Fortnite work on Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 (it's a Snapdragon 660 phone) ?

I have hack the apk of the fortnite app and be able to download the game trust me , it's very slow and very buggy, you don't need it,,
Also servers kicks you out because of the lag,,,
Tried with the lowest setting possible :/

@Mashrmallow Fortnite doesn't support any SD660
Device. I tried modifying the apk and installing it on my Stock A2 but its lags like crazy not worth it

I think if Epic Games willbad the support for sdm6660 in Fortnite, the performance will be better because I already play on Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 (Another sdm660 device) and it's not buggy and it's payable

I wish they add more support for more devices,,,

Mi A2 has adreno 512 gpu but fortnite requires adreno 530 gpu. If this can be sorted and graphics be a bit reduced fortnite can be played easily.

Fortnite support Adreno 512 You because Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 (sdm660) run it officially, Fortnite just didn't add compatibility for other sdm660 device

I checked for the specs to run fortnite, it shows that adreno 530 or higher is required.

I know but in the official device compatibility list it show Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) and it's a sdm660 phone (Adreno 512) like the Mi A2/6X

You probably don't even know the difference between CPU and GPU but it is normal, this is what I expect from the average fortnite player. Your phone, as well as all other phones, have both a CPU (the sdm660 for example) and a GPU (like the adreno 512, for example). Two phones can have the same CPU just like the A9 you are referring to and the A2 but have a different GPU. So probably the A9 doesn't have an Adreno512 GPU but a better one.

It's a CPU+GPU board (APUs?), two phones with the same CPU will always have the same GPU (at least for Snapdragon devices). The Galaxy A9 have the Adreno 512, it's just marketing.

For your information I know the difference between CPU and GPU and A9 have a Adreno 512 like the Mi A2 (It's the same CPU and GPU than a Mi A2 but only the A9 can run fortnite with a sdm660) and for a snapdragon processor case the GPU can't be different for the same processor (exemple: a Adreno 509 is impossible to be in a phone who use a sdm660, only a Adreno 512 is possible to be in a phone who use a sdm660)

yeah its because fortnite not allowing weak devices to play so that every phone user has the same advantage ( no lags and lack fps )
but it seems to make no sense since u said that the A9 can run it up but Mi A2 can't so yeah epic games is just so bad at maintaining the mobile version #_#

Why Adreno GPU is better than Tegra 2 GPU.

Many people have said that SE should have put a Tegra 2 dual core chip inside the Xperia Play instead of the Snapdragon with Adreno 205.
In the real world the Adreno 205 was a much better choice for complex game effects and battery life.
This is a heavy read but there are plenty of charts & pictures that tell a fairer story from a Game Developers point of view.
http://blogs.unity3d.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/FastMobileShaders_siggraph2011.pdf
Here's hoping Tegra 3 is a much better effort.
First of all Tegra II is not a GPU. It's a CPU. So a more valid comparison would be snapdragon V's tegra II or Adreno V's GEforce.
Adreno 200 really was a poor GPU and qualcomm made a mess when they purchased the Adreno project off ATI. Although i think were all agreed that the jump from adreno 200 to adreno 205 was massive.
Adreno 205 is easly on par with the GPU in any single core CPU. I dont quite think it is a match for the 8 core ULV GPU inside the tegra II.
And imo NVIDA has proven with some of the tegra II games that the mobile version of GEforce inside there CPU is in a league of it's own compared to our GPU. Although i think Adreno 220 is on par with the Tegra II GPU. The soon to be released quad core tegra III CPU comes with such an awesome GPU it will be hard to beat

Agree I have tried rudimentary GPU benchmarking on all my phones, the Xperia Play would have been severly weakened if it went ahead with using a Adreno 200 based SOC.

I also thought the NVIDA GPU chip would be much better, but after reading the PDF I don't think it is. It looks like to get the best from the NVIDA GPU you have to use the CPU's much more than the Adreno 205 which will hit battery life. Also the Adreno looks like it has some hidden tricks that help in more complex scenes.
Give the PDF a read.
From the (very little, it is a really technical paper) content I can extract, it seems that the Nvidia Tegra devices follow a "classic approach" and load many more things on the CPU, while the Adreno and PowerVR (aka Apple's chip) follow a "smarter" approach, reducing the CPU load and loading the GPU, plus using tricks.
I'd say that, if that is correct, that it comes from the legacy of Nvidia as a desktop pc GPU maker, and that it makes sense that Nvidia is betting on getting multi-core devices out ASAP, for their approach is much more CPU-taxing and multiple cores allow to reduce CPU stress.

Adreno 220 is already out with the dual core qualcomm chips
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehfyxvh2W4k&feature=related
Although the game in the demo is desert winds, an xperia play (adreno 205) exclusive
Comparing dual core Qualcomm chips to the Tegra is like comparing our current chip to the Samsung hummingbird.
The former is more widely supported, and better optimized. Whereas the latter is not well supported, and although it's supposed to be better on paper, it's real life performance isn't as good.

Desktop and handheld are vastly different in power & heat requirements, NVidia were probably rushing their dual core SOC's to market the lack of NEON in initial shipments and poor GPU's seems to confirms this.

Which one do you suggest when buying the S4 .... Snapdragon 600 or Exynos 5 Octa ?

I am planning to buy S4
But I'm not sure which is better
Snapdragon 600
1.9 Ghz
Quad Core Krait 300.
or
Exynos5
1.6 Ghz Octal Core
Quad Core Cortex A15 / Quad Core A7
4g and installing roms is not important to me
Which is better in terms of performance?
Which is better for gaming?
Which is better for battery life?
Octa for all.

processor is more stronger rather than spandragon
also exynos version will be global version so you can get update in time
but power vr sgx and adreno 320 is offering same result as a GPU
as a result i recommend you to buy exynos octa 5
any other suggestions?

Performance wise the octa version will win on the CPU side and be on par , gaming the snapdragon will probably win cause it seems to becoming a standard on high end android Devices, battery will also be a tie, where the octa wins in low demanding tasks thanks to its a7, and the s600 win on higher demanding tasks cause the krait consume less then the a15.

Giving Samsung ready to make the sources available, you'd better off with the Snapdragon version because Qualcomm will release their sources well before Samsung does. Consequence:
Development for the i9505 (Snapdragon version) will take off while the Exynos version's development will be slower...

Stop saying GPU is same ! Adreno 320 sweeps the floor and even the windows with the ****ing PowerVR !!!
but Octa sweeps the floor with Qualcomm.
Both are important....cpu and gpu. But we have enough CPU in both. What sense makes to have huge CPU if you wouldn't be able to play or use some apps because of the old gpu without OpenGL ES 3.0 ?

Like a boss in Antutu and playing Angry Birds while Snapdragon 600 owners cries for being kings of the hills but playing new and high graphics games.
I found one more things which makes Exynos Octa better. The ram in Exynos is LPPDDR3 at 800MHz, which supports 12.8GB/s bandwidth, while S600 have LPPDDR3 at 600MHz (? not sure) but it's at 9.X GB/s (can't find this information

I know, even so I'm big fan of Yamaha Grand Piano (I own one), so...if the chip inside the Qualcomm is Yamaha isn't a problem for me.
The only thing that makes me angry about the PowerVR 544MP3 junk is the OpenGL ES 3.0. I'm not 100% what's the importance if it, but i'm sure that soon will be released many games with this support and PowerVR have an OpenGL ES 2.0 api which gives "extended support of OpenGL ES 3.0. However, if you want full 3.0 compliance choose PowerVR 6X Rogue".
WTF is that extended api does ? I want to see a OpenGL ES 3.0 benchmark (GLBenchmark promised to release one) of both, Adreno 320 and PowerVR 544

what is the bandwidth and how it makes the Exynos stronger ?
Eyxynos seems to be overheating (see relevant thread in Q&A)
A question once and for all: DOES THE 9500 support LTE/4G or NOT!? Because that's a deciding factor in my purchse. I live in Denmark. I mean definite yes or no should be possible right?
overheating + no LTE will definitely sway me towards the 9505, but it still seems to be too early to tell.

[Q] A bit confused about the GPU on SM-N900

Hi guys,
I am going to buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 soon. However the variant which is available to me is the N900 with the Exynos 5420 processor.
The thing is that, I am a bit confused about the GP. It is running a Mali-T628 MP instead of the Adreno 330 on the N9005 models. Will I notice a visible difference in gaming? Is the Mali that bad against the latest Adreno.
Also, do you think that the HMP patch that Samsung hinted at, to unleash the true 8 cores might affect the GPU performance later on?
The processor is the only thing that is stopping me from getting this variant. Please guys, help me out on this.

Adreno 330 is so good but
Mali in note3 is Octa GPU and clocked higher than adreno 330 (u can find and compare by wikipedia)
both of them are so powerful however adreno shows more score in graphic benchmark but it s not that high but cpu in exynos is about 2000scores more than snapdragon (in antutu benchmark)
anyway u won't lose anything if buy snap or exynos both of them are awesome
:good:

galaxy s5 900H - performance GPU

Hi,
After the last update (android 6.0.1) has greatly increased performance GPU (mali t628 mp6) , Why? It is even better than Adreno 330.

G900h has exynos and is the better phone performance wise what are you asking though

No they aren't. Drivers don't increase hardware performance. You can't say that a chip from 2 years ago could be made to run as fast as one released today.

I do not compare mali t628 to today chip, only for adreno 330. The fact is that the update (android 6.0.1) performance increased. On android(kitkat) were much lower scores in GFXbeanch. I have galaxy s5 900H and it is checked.

Maybe you didn't understand. Adreno 330 is faster because of hardware, not because of software. Mali is lower because its hardware is inferior to 330. Those are physical facts that can't be changed by anyone.

GFXbench results testify to something else. These are the facts, you can check!
I do not understand how to better hardware? if the results (GFXbench) tell a different story

OpenGL drivers for adreno 306

Can enyone port Open GL 3.1 or 3.2 for adreno 306 ? To improve preformance of gpu bcs thats weak spot of J5 2015 and J5 2016 devices?
Drivers cannot be ported, those are micro-softwares which tell you CPU how to use the components of your device and are made especially for one type of component.

Than how adreno 4xx and 5xx can be ported from 3.1 to 3.2 (OpenGL) and support for vulkan i seeing thats post and peapole showing big preformance boost in benchmarks like antutu or geek bench . ???
