Poor gaming performance

[Guest Longfellow78]

I have been testing some games today, including modern combat 3, dead trigger, offroad legends, and 3d mark ice storm benchmark.

Alas the results are not good, I don't know if something was amiss, and I wasn't expecting it to be great, but it was pretty bad. Dead trigger is okay-ish, not smooth but playable, modern combat is pretty jerky. offroad legends (a non-taxing side scrolling game) wasn't smooth, Ice storm runs, but the scores are very weak. Average: 3532, graphics 3080, physics 7094, Test 1 10.2 fps, Test 2 19.5fps, Physics 22.5fps, Demo 20.7fps.

 

Can anyone confirm these scores?

I didn't buy this tablet for gaming obviously, and it's around the same as the 2012 Nexus 7, but I was a little disappointed. I think the Mali MP4 gpu is really showing its age. Is an overclock possible?

should be depends on its stock speed

 

my galaxy note i overclock it from 266 to 400 at the default 1.000v

my galaxy s3 lte runs at 533 at 1.075v

 

it may be down to memory bandwidth on the hudl

we will have to see once people look into it

 

have tesco released the source?

[Guest Shonk]

I think its only single channel hence the problems

 

RK3188 28 nm HKMG ARMv7-A Up to 1.8 GHz Quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 Mali-400 MP (Quad core, 533 MHz) LPDDR2, DDR3, DDR3L support, up to 2 GB 2013

 

 

Edit yep RK3188 is single channel so it will be a pig at 1440x900

 

My Note is duel channel  Mali MP400 1280x800

My S3 LTE is duel channel Mali MP400 1280x720

 

its all down to fa memory bandwidth

I've been messing around with removing bloat, etc. The hudl performed much better in games than I expected. Was playing with the Iron Man game a few nights ago, ran quite nicely. Didn't feel like the game wasn't reacting to my actions.

edit: Just tried offroad legends. no stutter at all.

The gpu is fine the problem is the memory bandwidth to the gpu

 

both of my phones run the same gpu and its great

 

its running in a high resolution 1440x900 with hardly any memory bandwidth

 

Try Nenamark on it

 

S3 LTE 533mhz GPU= 59.9 FPS (Max is 60fps)

Note 400mhz GPU= 54 FPS

 

I will be supprised if it pulls much more than 30fps

Nenamark 1: 57.4 fps

Nenamark 2: 54.7 fps

[Guest Shonk]

Really?

Very supprised at that with only 3.2gb of bandwidth

 

It was Nenamark2 i meant btw

Yeah, I was was a bit surprised, too. I think when we start overclocking and getting custom roms built, the hudl is going to be a bit of a cut price star.
