No

Beatiful game indeed. I'm a fan already.

Checked GPU performance vs the S2.
It is slightly worse than the S2, but that does not mean that
it is bad.
Still able to play heavy rendering games so I aint complaining.

Certainly not killing the phone at all. Just because it isn't the latest GPU on the market, doesn't mean it's not good at what it does.
The GNEX GPU is fine. I have yet to find a game that struggles to run.

thanks man. you cut stone from my heart

another beat the dead horse topic but i'll kick it again. i think google picked the best gpu for this phone for all the right reasons. i there are 2? better gpu's currently and soon if not already a 3rd? the ps vita is about to come out with sgx 543mp4, which has 4 cores, compared to the iphone4s/ipad2's 543mp2 of only 2 cores. look at how awesome the battery life is of the nexus compared to many many other androids and the iphone 4s. i think it has a lot to do with the whole package, including OMAP"s superb SOC, but the 543mp2 would've been overkill and a battery hog. heck the 543mp2 is overkill for the iphone.

Dark Knight rises on the N7

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.

Modern Combat 4 .. Runs beautifully Video)

Good video man...that just confirm that our Nexus is a bad ass phone lol...

Damn just finished reading the comments and its not running on max settings like it does on the Nexus 7.but on the N7 its not smooth as the N4 is.I think the N4 could run on max settings while still running this smooth.

Graphics
Anyone got any idea how to enable the max graphics? I don't even have the game yet, but I'm POSITIVE the Nexus 4 can handle full graphics at above 30 FPS. It's GPU is nearly 3x more powerful than the Tegra 3 one.

Can't wait till more people purchase it for multiplayer. I can't wait to pick up a controller and get it to work with this game. I haven't played it much, but so far its good.

Chainfire 3D is the only way as far as I know... unfortunately Gameloft is terrible at optimizing their games, the N7 runs at full effects even though it has a GPU less than half as powerful as the N4.

Ugly Gingerbread loading bar @ 1:06! Other than that, looks pretty awesome

Is the Chainfire 3D app even still maintained? I thought it had stopped getting updated over a year ago.

does it work with the ps3 gamepad?

It's not compatible with 4.0 or Jelly Bean according to the description of the app.

I just tested Chainfire 3D (granted, on a different device, but that should not make a difference) and it did not enable the higher effects (as it didn't with MC3, either, and both are developed by Gameloft Montreal, I suppose this makes sense). So... there's no real way to enable the high graphics.
Gameloft disabled the effects for a reason... they don't know how to optimize their stuff for most GPUs, so with all effects enabled, I bet it lagged in their testing.

could you guys not just change the model in the build prop on the nexus 4 to that of nexus 7 ?

Does anyone know if the deviceconfig.xml trick works for MC4?

Anyone know if I should get the moga control or ps3 one? I already bought the six axis app a while back.. Any suggestions? Thanks

Why does Order and Chaos Online play smoother on my phone than on my Nexus 7?

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?

AW: Why does Order and Chaos Online play smoother on my phone than on my Nexus 7?
I bet it has something to do with tegra (;
I was warned before my purchase that Gameloft games MAY not work good with this device.. Never touched a GL game though..
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

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.

I'm affraid that tegra 3 can't handle new games

Yess i play it lot and it works great on my nexus 7 lollipop

I cannot get the game to run smooth at all on my Nexus 7 2012 edition. Not even the new update got it to play without lag. I love the game on my Samsung Note 3 though. Look for me my name is JeffTheOmega1 and I kick ass too. My KD ratio is 1.5 and my win lose ratio in ctf is 3.1 not bad.
