Normally i use quake3droid at max settings (2048x1024 (i probably got the res wrong) etc) or i use a 3d game such as Guerrilla bob. What do you normally use? What game really shows the power of this phone?
Modern combat is a good one. Lags a bit in the menus but the graphics are absolutely stunning

modern combat or modern combat 2?
modern combat didnt work for me, HD versions anyway
Modern combat 2 I paid for it in the premium game hub...... awesome fps also Nova is another good one
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
any more? maybe graphics apps?
I presume the true power of the gpu will never be had, as from what I read drivers are poxy and have to use chainfire to sit in the middle to run stuff.
Do you think it will ever run true???
I dunno about using "the power of the phone" but Samurai Vengance II looks nice on the SGS2. Dungeon Defenders would be another good choice if it actually worked.
Angry Bots!!!
Try Angry Bots!!
its only a tech demo right now but it looooks super sweet
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.iUnity.angryBots&feature=search_result
Samurai II : Vengeance
N.O.V.A. II
Dungeon Hunter 2
Basically any/most Gameloft games look great!
Zorro: Shadow of Vengeance looks good too.
How are you guys buying nova 2? I have tried the market, Chainfire 3d, and the Gameloft site. None show it available for sale. Am I using Chainfire wrong or something? Not really looking to pirate anything.

Online one correct answer here and phunkycow got it:
Riptide GP
As already stated Gameloft make some nice looking games. My personal faves are:
Galaxy on Fire 2 - Tegra 2 version using Chainfire (sad we need to use Chainfire)
Order & Chaos
Dungeon Defenders
A little off topic - It's pretty sad we so much fragmentation in the Android gaming space with developers signing deals with phone makers/chipsets. Thankfully, we have guys like Chainfire but I can see why Apple mobile gaming may be the future.

Gameloft released a version of Nova 2 which doesn't need Chainfire 3D.
Go to the gameloft site from your mobile - it should be there.

It's not showing on my market, is it region specific or something?
Also can I use it on my phone, not sure if I have tegra or not.
Thanks
edit: Well I don't have tegra in my phone, so can't play riptide, this is a joke. As if Android needs any more fragmentation.....
Managed to do some reading and installed chainfire 3d and the nvidia plugin.
Played riptide and samurai 2, while they are both very different graphical styles I'd have to say samurai looks better in my opinion.
Both lovely looking games though.
my small test is the best graphically looking on android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164111

Well I'd say either riptide gp or dungeon defenders.
Nova 2 looks great as well.
Dead Space!!! Chainfire3D/Qualcomm plugin look awesome!!!

Hey all,
Just wondering what games you've tried that really make the most of the gpu and 720p screen.
I'm not much of a gamer but I'm looking for any recommendations that will wow me, if you have any please?

NOVA3 and mass effect infiltrator are probably some of the best looking games on the market right now.
with chainfire sonic 4 episode 2 also runs fine and is a good looking game

Sorry my bad, Max Payne for android. I'm playing it on 360 as well so mixed it up
GTA III fully-maxed out, and be sure to turn off the Frame Limiter; the game will run at 60 FPS and look sharp! Seriously, it looks beautiful. Also, as mentioned, Shadowgun. And Max Payne, as compared to running on my Galaxy Nexus (which runs it only a little slower than the S3), does what looks like HDR lighting on the S3.
Saw somewhere renaissance blood for tegra 3. Anyone can find it on app store via SIII, i can't even with market unlocker.
Thanks for all the recommendations. What about Driving / Racing?

Real Racing 2 works very well and gives you a Gran Turismo feel

Hey guys. I was just wondering if any of you have played the dark knight rises yet on your N7. If so, how is it? Im downloading the game as I type this. How are the graphics? And does it run smooth? I ask because I've heard a few people say that it's laggy on their N7. Thanks for anyway feedback guys.

It looks good, but mine seems quite jumpy at times.
Good game and graphics, does get laggy sometimes but liveable
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It plays OK on N7, it looks nice, and has small periods of slowdown but generally works well! A lot better than Asphalt 7 does on Nexus 7
Played fine on my n7, rarely noticed any lag, graphics are good but not as good as the market lets on well worth the £4.99 (especially with the free credit we get!)
I also used some of my free credit to download it and I must say it runs flawlessly. Graphics are amazing and the gameplay is very smooth. Great buy. Thanks for all your input guys.

You must be playing it on a different device...Dark Knight Rises and any other Gameloft game like NOVA run piss poor on the Nexus 7/Any Tegra 3 device...reason being is Gameloft's code isnt optimized for our hardware...This whole "smooth concept" is very subject, some people say that 15fps is smooth enough, well I can tell you after you play a game thats getting 45+ fps that 15 fps is not smooth, play Dark Knight or Nova on something like a S III and then go back to playing it on the Nexus 7, you will notice how much smoother the S III gameplay is, there's many threads/posts about Gameloft games running like crap on a Tegra 3...Actually go DL Dark Meadow a game optimized for Tegra 3 or Dead Trigger now that is smooth...Dark Knight/Nova/Amazing Spiderman/Insert any Gameloft game here, are not...But thats just my gamer opinion.

I own an S3 as well, and the S3 plays Gameloft games alot smoother then my N7, but again smooth is subjective, some ppl think 20 fps is smooth, to me its not, and I'm not the only one thats experienced terrible frames/choppiness with gameloft games on a tegra 3 device...if it was truly optimized for tegra 3, then performance for the most part would be uniform accross the board, but it isnt again my 2 cents.

I guess your right about what peoples definition of "smooth" is. For me at least when I say smooth, I mean it runs fluid and not laggy. The graphics are great as well. But that might just be my perception. This is the first tablet and Tegra3 device I have ever owned. So take that into account. I just downloaded Dead Trigger, which I have on my S3, and the graphics are simply amazing. Far better than my S3, so I'll give you that. Thanks for your input though. Which games would you suggest I get that are optimized for the Tegra3?

Optimized specifically i'd say Shadowgun THD, Dead Trigger u already got, Dark Meadow, Puddle THD, Sonic THD are a few. Games I found run pretty well but not optimized are Dead Space, Mass Effect Infiltrator, Modern Combat 3 (although they says its been optimized only Gameloft game that I've gotten that is "smooth" in my perception), Sure theres a few more that others can add.
Hey guys I just want to share a game that ITS completely worth the money, its by far the best game I ever played on my Android device ( and Ive played a lots of them ).
Im not promoting it or anything like that becouse I didnt create it, I just want to let you know that its a great and adictive game, it runs perfectly on the nexus and the graphics are beautiful indeed.
Its called Rayman Jungle Run

Just got rayman jungle run, noticed its number 1 on new paid game list, so its quite popular at the moment, like it so far but like most mobile games it only offers minimal levels an short gameplay but good otherwise, android games certainly won't replace your psvita or 3ds handheld just yet.
hey Sonic is that you ? :laugh:

Its an awesome game and uns perfectly on my galaxy nexus, no lags at all,'
running on stock
Great Little War Game and Great Big War Game. You can easily spend hours playing. A bit of a battery hog though.

I have to admit I am addicted to Rayman Jungle Run. It is way to much fun and adds a lot of replay value trying to get every sprite-esque thing and its way to easy to control. In addition, Jetpack Joy Ride, Bad Piggies, and Granny Smith are all equally addicting.
Jet pack Joyride by: half brick. It's free, fast and fun.

I play uplink on my Acer Iconia A500 but can't install it on my Galaxy Nexus and would like too. It's for Tablet only and I'm using Paranoid Android and would like a hint to bypass the tablet only feature and install it on my Gnex at least to try it even if it might be too small.
Thanks everyone.
On my GNeX my favorite games are F18 Carrier Landing & Air Navy Fighters, "StockMarket" (Not a game but since it's not real money I consider it a game, Asphalt7.
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone and Order and Chaos Online plays very well, but when I play it on my Nexus 7 Tablet it lags and the draw distance is horrible. Does anyone know why this is and is there a fix for the lag? Is there a rom and kernel combo that runs games better than rooted stock?

I bet it has something to do with tegra (;

Its Gameloft.
Order and Chaos worked brilliantly on my Tegra 2 Transformer with a hacked apk from a Motorola Xoom. After every update they killed the patch work. Once it got official support, it sucks.
Same on N7. Pretty sad.
I know it can play much better and if you warez it, it plays great. I've purchased the game 3 times. At this point I think I'm entitled to make it play any way I can.
At the end of the day it is just a train wreck company that doesn't code well for Tegras. Whatever they do to Tegra games is bad.
The game is playable though so just enjoy it.

Maybe 4.2.2 will increase the performance, people claim that gaming is better in the new version
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
It sucks on N7. Choppy gameplay, unregistered touches... horrible.
tegra 3 is a weak SoC. something we nexus 7 owners must learn to accept
The weak spot of the Tegra 3 is the fill rate due to slow RAM. This is also why GPU over clocking barely increases FPS.
The powervrs in iOS devices on the other hand excel here.
Gameloft designs games for iOS and the GS3 only.
Therefore, the powervr in your GNex runs Gameloft games better that the Tegra 3.
The T3 is a great GPU for being over a year old. The problem is you have to work around this slow RAM, something Gameloft isn't willing to do... Unlike mad finger for example.
In the T4 Nvidia has realized its mistake and added dual channel faster RAM which is partly why the GPU performance is much better.

I face similar problems, its smooth on my iphone 5 and lags like hell on my nexus 10. Is the android version bad?? =\
I think it's a tegra thing. It's much better on my note 10.1 with android 4.1 then nexus. On nexus I get ghosting terrible worse then on note.
It's Kewl game would be in it more if not for lag. And it's a shame it's great game play. And I paid the yearly subscription.
