Vulkan performance on stock MIUI 10 - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Just got my new phone and ran 3dbenchmark to find that my Vulkan performance is significantly worse than opengl. Is this normal for those on stock MIUI 10? Is this a driver issue and if so will a custom room with better drivers theoretically fix this?
I would look for answers myself but I am locked into waiting a month for my bootloader to free up so no custom ROMs for me yet.

946 / 756 here. RevolutionOS + InsigniuX Kernel. Probably do better if the ambient temperature here isn't too high (device get hot a little). With overclock, score better for sure

Hmm so it looks like a custom rom/kernel won't do much then. Guess that means I should always use opengl in PPSSPP and Dolphin. It's too bad because I was hoping Vulkan might make some Wii games more playable.

Tegra 3 performance

Hey guys,
I wonder if the so called gaming SoC will get any better in terms of gaming performance with further updates from HTC. At the moment the games run barely as good as on my SGS2. I know..the resolution of the HOX is twice as high but the games graphics ar getting better and I cant even play NOVA 3 with my 'gaming device'... There is a way to make it a bit less laggy with new Base and franco kernel but it's still far away from beeing smooth. What I want to ask you is: Is there still potential for tegra 3 to run those games smooth and it's just a matter of time till an update comes that improves the framerates or is it just hardware limited? Are there other Tegra 3 devices which can run these games without any issues? I'm hoping that the 3.* kernel will improve something but actually I have no clue.
well u have to look at this from the point of view of the game/software/hardware
the one game u mentioned is not HOX compatible,
it's been force run on the device.... so as far as this go..... you'll need to wait for the game to be T3 optimized
software optimizations are still underway from both xda devs and htc.... and as u see they are getting better by the day
and finally not much to say about the hardware but... its more than capable just give it time.

[FIX][UPDATE] Wild Blood Full Effects v1.0.7 Performance + GameLoft games - Root

The initial Wild Blood 1.0.7 had full effects and it ran bad on Tegra 3 devices (especially the slower ones like the Nexus 7)
Gameloft quickly botched the game with the v1.0.8 update and downgraded most effects to make it run well on Most Tegra 3 device
check this post for screenshots comparison and how to return your game to v1.0.7
Interestingly the game runs well on stock 2.17 kernel with gaming boost, yet it runs very bad on the One X gaming optimized kernels like Faux, Tegrastats revealed it's using only one core, without gaming boost it rarely crossed 50% load and with boost it rarely crosses 82% load, in other words this game is not using the Tegra 3 CPU at all
Not only it doesn't even begin to use the CPU, Gameloft still fails to optimize their games for the Tegra 3 GPU shortcomings for example Wildblood has an high level of Anisotropic filtering and our GPU is pixel fill rate bound, a reduction to this filtering could have been enough to relief the GPU instead of killing off all the effects
The very best way to play wildblood v1.0.7 is using the One X base 2.17 stock with gaming boost 2.1 or even better with the custom gaming enhanced stock 2.17 kernel
For some very specific reason it runs perfectly playable on this kernel even with full effects as long as you use gaming boost
However if you like to force this game to run well on custom kernels like faux and franco, continue with the following methods
Since this game and many Gameloft games don't uses Tegra 3 cores, we will want the maximum out of our single core
How to Run Wildblood and many Gameloft games at the maximum possible performance on custom One X kernels
First Method: Dual Core lock
- Download the latest Renovate Gaming boost
- Download any CPU control app like SetCPU
- First Enable boost in the gaming boost app, this will set the maximum background free memory and tweak the GPU
- Then change the CPU Governor to Performance mode using your CPU app, this will lock Tegra 3 to dual core mode at maximum clock speed, since two cores are disabled for safety in this governor you don't have to worry about overheating
Run Wildblood 1.0.7, you will notice it runs at least 2 to 3x the performance of default values
Recommended custom kernel for this method is Faux 11 mainline but also works with stock kernel, make sure you don't use an OC kernel since this method will push the device and you don't want it to overheat
OCed kernel might have issues with this method
Don't use this method and game on the charger otherwise your device might overheat
This tips is for non Tegra optimized games, using it with the THD games will surely cause high heat
Once you are done gaming disable boost mode and restore your CPU governor to ondemand to conserve your battery
Alternative method: Quad Core + Throttle lock
This is a much more aggressive method and will heat the device
for some reason the game runs in full quad core on the userspace governor using faux 12b1 and it runs over 30fps with full effects v1.0.7
we also need an OC kernel like faux' variant free this is because we don't want it to throttle all the way down to 1200MHz which always cause a massive drop in speed, I think its related to linked memory speed, so faux variant free or ultra or beta, will throttle to 1350
I didn't try any other kernel like stock but Franco doesn't have userspace and ondemand is only single core on this game, the stock kernel has userspace but I didn't try
so using faux 12b1 enable gaming boost 2.1
using setcpu or ur fav CPU app switch to userpace gov and Noop scheduler
set the min and max clock to 1400, this will lock to the throttle speed of 1350mhz at full quad
run the game and be surprised
u can reduce the lock a little if u feel its too hot, but don't set min below 900 because this governor has a mind if its own
In theory this should also work on stock kernel but it will lock to throttle speed of 1200mhz at full quad
Don't use this method and game on the charger otherwise your device might overheat
This tips is for non Tegra optimized games, using it with the THD games will surely cause high heat
Once you are done gaming disable boost mode and restore your CPU governor to ondemand to conserve your battery
This is cool to use on stock kernels?
Nice tip thanks hammy! XD
Any other CPU tuners worth mentioning? I'm skint atm and cant afford to pay for it XD

yes tons of free CPU apps just search in google store, system tuner is one of them
AND YES it works on stock kernel, although it beyond me why you insist on not trying a custom kernel like faux (2 to 3x the frame rate in Beach buggy)

TBH I can't seem to ever get round to flashing a custom kernel, also I'm still not 100% confident enough to do it. I'm not sure on which kernel to flash tbh and I'll be jumping up to ARHD 11.1 soon so don't see the point until after then.
I haven't played beach buggy yet.
Nice tip, thanks a lot!
This method is working perfectly for Faux 11 mainline and the device remains so cool :laugh:
Hamdir,
It's possible to get full effects whit v1.0.8?
What for?
This update addresses performance problems experienced by some users on Tegra 3 devices (including Nexus 7).
The update is NOT required for non-Tegra devices.

Both version is same, just for 1.0.8 version, they've decreased the graphic.. so hamdir just giving us how to revert back to 1.0.7 that hold full graphic enable for those have update to 1.0.8. So, this is the way to make it full effect enable.
@nashshafrulrezza im also getting freezes with the game, Faux11 mainline it's but not the kernel because i press home and i can exit the game, so i think there is something wrong with TB back of v1.0.7
extremely fun and smooth though , this method proves the real problem is that Gameloft is not using the CPU well
@everyone else v1.0.8 made the game smooth by killing effects so you don't really need this method, its only for those who want to play it with full effects enabled on v1.0.7

Guess you out of luck too hamdir. Have you try it with franco? I'm not in mood to change kernel today, so hoping for others to report it.

no im sure it's the games fault, i remembered it also happened pre 1.0.8 update while i can play beach buggy with this method and it gets very hot but rock stable
plus didn't you hear? faux 11 mainline is now glued to my one X until JB source is released, me and my One X are exhausted :laugh:
hold on, i just remembered i have UV50, so next time i play ill try with out UV
anyway i don't think its the kernel fault, if the kernel the entire device would freeze and not just the game

It just the same.. already try it without uv and it really working great at 1st.. then when it comes to lot monster stage.. the game hang as before.
Agree.. it's the game could be.. just need anyone to test it with latest franco.. cause before this, franco kernel working better when it comes to wildblood.. Maybe we'll found out an answer to this freeze problem.
BTW, I don't want to glued my HOX yet.. Still hoping for better gaming experienced. Not because gaming experienced is bad with our HOX but I'm just hoping gaming will last longer with our HOX, maybe same as iphone.

will last with all the focus Tegra is getting and not even a word about Tegra 4 so far
why dont u try Franco for us
but correct me if im wrong, when you had franco and no trouble before, you were using your own v1.0.8 and not my 1.0.7 TB
I did the tweaks: Enable Boost and Performance Mode
Beach Buggy Blitz is much smoother at full resolution. But the device still gets overheated I can blame either the chip in 'my' One x or like other people said the jb builds heat up while gaming.
I remember when playing beach buggy blitz normally without tweaks, the lag in the tunnel/dark areas was the most. With these tweaks the lag is barely there
Thanks Hamdir!

While it works great, this tip is not intended for Beach buggy ill make it clear in the first post
beach buggy and other real Tegra games uses the CPU core and GPU pretty well and they get heated as they are with gaming boost
unlike wildblood which is barely pushing the GPU or the CPU, with this tip it remains very cool
so yea this tip is for wildblood 1.0.7 and maybe other non Tegra optimized games like the ones from GL
the JB kernel is confirmed by many as hotter (so far) if they didnt' fix this, our kernel gods will deal with it, of course this means waiting for the kernel source, once the OTA roles out ill be annoying HTC with requests about the kernel source on Elevate
This is why im now happy that my devices has Asian OTA and will gladly update later when the gaming situation is clear
Alright. Thanks once again.

Best rom for PUBG

Which rom is best for PUBG or other high end games?
What about 9.0 roms for gaming ?
A ROM wouldn't magically upgrade your hardware. it will stay the same S820/821. PubG is a high-end modern game not particularly optimized for our device and is primarily meant for latest phones. You can make it run lag free using pubg gfx tools and lowering resolution of game to 720p or HD+.
Skydragon ROM or latest 5.0.7 oxygen
msm extended
Oos 4.5.1 yes it's nougat but I clan play on highest possible settings with pubgfx app + I played one game and phone was hot though
I used to have constant overheating and frequent frame drops with the older versions of the game a few months back.
But after the 0.9 update, the game runs quite smooth on the quick performance mode on LOS 15.1 on my OP3
I play on low graphics and high frame rate settings btw.
i am on stock. but i want to know any custom rom is better then stock? in terms of performance and graphics.
Skydragon os... Try it

For me, stock OOS has been most stable and performance friendly for PubG. Also, the device doesn't heat that much as compared to custom Pie roms.
Also, something that many people ignore here are GPU drivers. Pie custom ROMs ship with v330 of adreno drivers whereas OOS ships with V281 i guess, It's much more stable and provides steady fps.
I would suggest to use Gfx Tool from play store, lower resolution to HD, 40fps, shadows on, 2x anti aliasing, colorful, balanced graphics. I can play pubg at 40-45 fps for 1-2 hours even while charging.
You can also use the ' Xbooster *root* ' apk to boost up your phone for a smoother gameplay
You can download it from here?
https://m.apkpure.com/xbooster-root-free/com.gagan.free.free.xram/download?from=details
Use mcd kernel with skydragon pie rom... The gameplay is smooth without any fps drop
And no throttling at all

Why does Vulkan run so terribly?

Had the phone for a while now and have noticed that across multiple os's, emulators, and benchmarks Vulkan runs like crap compared to opengl. Is this a driver thing or is something wrong with my phone?
I myself am curious about this as well since RetroArch supports Vulkan. Haven't tried it yet though.
I'm using vulkan on psp emulator and it runs great, I don't know about other apps though. Way better than opengl
It should be driver issue cause the current driver on our phone is kinda old (april,2018?).. Maybe if someone tries to port newer,compatible drivers from sd660blobs then performance can improve by some margin.. (not holding my breath for that though. )
In general Vulkan is promising indeed (moredrawcalls:fps VS opengl) but just not mature enough atm especially on Oreo ; mainstream performance and use should mostly improve on Android Q's arrival.

You see that's interesting because my testing with PPSSPP and GOW had Vulkan running about 30% worse than Opengl. When I get the time I am going to run some test again.

Question Snapdragon 870 - GPU 905mhz

Hello !
I've heard that it's possible to overclock our GPU to 905mhz by removing frequency table from dtb - when all frequencies are gone the chip defaults to 905mhz on GPU.
Now how do you do that ? I have no idea... Been asking around for couple of days and anyone that knows won't tell '-'
Most I've gotten is that dtb is inside boot ; some new 870's are locked and can't go even 1mhz above... That's all
Now make out of that what you want , it's rather conflicting info when there are reports that it works just fine one hentai os , even overclocks to 940mhz - Keep all frequencies just add a new one on top (940 MHz and edit voltage table for it to turbo 1 voltage). That's the best solution for anyone doing overclocking... You get to keep all other frequencies as well but it does not work on other ROMs due to hentai os using a different device tree to everyone else...
Hence why I'm looking into how to delete whole table to at least unlock 905mhz. I'll be using peltier cooler so heat is no issue I just want performance - its heartbreaking when 700 series chips can score much much higher than 870 simply because they can be overclocked unlike ours....
I'm all for overclocking and optimizing our chipsets, but do you have a problem with your phone?
Because for me, this chipset is crazy fast, and every game and app I throw at it, plays smoothly. I never have stutters in any game or app.

I do feel the lack of performance though... Frame instability and not quite 60fps in more heavy games.
Even snap 888 struggles in certain games and considering that snap 865 already is able to meet and exceed perfomance of 888 doing the same on 870 will , well offer even better experience once heat is handled...
I'm currently looking for earliest rom for this device to see if it would be possible to do it there w kona but no luck so far...
I was also recently view a photo of the Poco F3 8/256GB and it was running at 1072MHz, the only information I had from whoever passed this photo was that it was from a Russian forum/chat and that it was only possible in the first batches of the 870!
I'll keep following it, if I find something, I'll let you know!

That's crazy! At 1072mhz he must have surpassed Rog5's performance. All I am seeing is that it overclocks to 683mhz and that is it otherwise it goes into bootloop. What good is 13mhz anyways? Rather keep it stock then.

There are many photos on telegram of people overclocking their 870 recently... Insane results , 99℅ stability and 25℅ higher scores in 3d mark .
Optimus drunk kernel + konabess overclock .
If anyone feels like trying post results here , if it worked or not... I heard somewhere along the way that it only works on hentai os even if your phone is an early batch model and since optimus kernel is based on utsav's kernel ( hentai os kernel ) , there's a good chance that installing it will allow overclock on aosp roms.
I don't wanna try personally for many reasons - optimus d kernel devloper sucks in my opinion, I tried his earlier kernel when it was based on quantic kernel and let's just say he butchered it and made something 10x worse... I think if utsav's kernel can allow for overclock you're better off using that instead lol
Might try later on idk , if anyone else does please keep us updated!
1. Install aosp rom
2. Install Optimus drunk / Utsav kernel ( search his name on google/xda and you'll find his kernel )
3. Try overclocking in konabess past 683mhz ( make backup first !!! Then transfer to PC )
4. If it bootloops flash backup via twrp / fastboot

Is there a way a to know if we have one of the early batches? I have poco f3 and havent even updated it to latest miui. I am still on 12.0.3 lol and man as far as perfirmance is concerned I am really not seeing huge performance gains over miui to be honest. Like there is this one youtuber who almost checks all roms and there are only some to trump miui in bechmarks and in Pubg gameplay the results look to be the same. It lags where Miui lags and performs great where Miui performs great. On top of that if we add bugs and the sheer level of dullness of pure stock android I dont see a reason to flash a custom rom( the super wallpapers and AOD on miui is great). I was really excited about overclocking though because it had insane performance gains one guy has posted a article on xda overclocking 865 to almost 900mhz and comes neck and neck with sd888 in gpu. I asked him about overclocking 870 and he said it seems to be not possible but we can try to disable thermal throttling and it will still stay below sd888 temperatures and will have the same performance. I do doubt it though because the real performance comes with overclocking and with only 683mhz clock I dont see it beating sd888 because if the device runs cool it can almost use 100% and even with full performance it wont beat 888 but thats what he said.

You have to try for yourself and see , if it bootloops it's not an early model....
The results difference is huge , wdym you don't see it beating 888. Snapdragon 865 already has practically the same performance , only loosing in cpu department. If you overclock gpu in 870 you are already leagues ahead off 888 - same cpu performance + much better gpu performance. All at the lower heat than 888.
Sadly no devloper is paying any attention to this. I digged up that if you remove any and all mentions in kernel about frequency table the chip will lock itself at it's highest supported gpu freq ( 940mhz + ) - this could possibily work even on locked devices? I have no idea , no kernel devloper that I asked even responded lol
You are on your own to try and get it to work , they obv won't

Hello Guys,
First this first Snapdragon 870 is impossible to Overclock on Chip Kona v2.1 guys it is hardware lock on software just like Snapdragon 855+/860 is max 692MHz.
Yes we can now if you have early model with Kona v2.0 search for
Check dumpstate board on miui bug report
If kona-v2.1 then max 683Mhz.
if you have smaller you number table is unlocked on your Poco F3.
I have all info on Konabess Support group
I have telegram Adreno GPUs &Konabess Support group if you want know more this things.
Second don't do anything stupid like 1020MHz or anything like that Voltage Regular is design for 905MHz and can sustain up to 950MHz at MAX.
Most devices 940MHz gives better performance than 950MHz because of performance.
Third thing because of Voltage Regular from Qualcomm overclocking above 950MHz doesn't bring any new performance only lowers it.
You have to check for GPU stability by locking in Kernel manager min and max frequency and frequency you want test.
At that level even the best SOC get UI lag and unstable performance.
In real benchmark scores are lower on 1020MHz vs 925MHz because of Voltage Regular.
In Games like Breath of the Wild on EGG NS performance wins with 888 as well as 8G1 and fps stays the same 925MHz vs 1020MHz.
If you do anything above 950MHz you risk of bricking your device in couple of weeks.
You can't just add 905MHz at ridiculous high Voltage like Turbo_L1 which is 416mv will get massive throttling.
You have to design new frequency table and new frequency at good stable voltage for every device.
Adreno 650 at 925MHz or 940MHz gives almost 5700 points in 3Dmark Wild life.
In Gigaflops FP32 it beast Snapdragon 888 by 10% more raw power.
Adreno 660 on 840 MHz has 1702 Gigaflops
Adreno 650 on 905 MHz has 1853 Gigaflops
Adreno 650 on 925MHz has 1894 Gigaflops
Adreno 650 on 940 MHz has 1925 Gigaflops

Hello !
I've heard that it's possible to overclock our GPU to 905mhz by removing frequency table from dtb - when all frequencies are gone the chip defaults to 905mhz on GPU.
Now how do you do that ? I have no idea... Been asking around for couple of days and anyone that knows won't tell '-'
Most I've gotten is that dtb is inside boot ; some new 870's are locked and can't go even 1mhz above... That's all
Now make out of that what you want , it's rather conflicting info when there are reports that it works just fine one hentai os , even overclocks to 940mhz - Keep all frequencies just add a new one on top (940 MHz and edit voltage table for it to turbo 1 voltage). That's the best solution for anyone doing overclocking... You get to keep all other frequencies as well but it does not work on other ROMs due to hentai os using a different device tree to everyone else...
Hence why I'm looking into how to delete whole table to at least unlock 905mhz. I'll be using peltier cooler so heat is no issue I just want performance - its heartbreaking when 700 series chips can score much much higher than 870 simply because they can be overclocked unlike ours....

Pretty sure you can overclock the GPU with custom kernel alone, it involves you to take out some security checks which could be potentially "blowing up" your device if you mess something up.
However the thing about the 905mhz without table is something I've also heard for the SD 865 plus variant. I'll try to make some kernels without the table and see how the chipsets act on it.

Is there a way a to know if we have one of the early batches? I have poco f3 and havent even updated it to latest miui. I am still on 12.0.3 lol and man as far as perfirmance is concerned I am really not seeing huge performance gains over miui to be honest. Like there is this one youtuber who almost checks all roms and there are only some to trump miui in bechmarks and in Pubg gameplay the results look to be the same. It lags where Miui lags and performs great where Miui performs great. On top of that if we add bugs and the sheer level of dullness of pure stock android I dont see a reason to flash a custom rom( the super wallpapers and AOD on miui is great). I was really excited about overclocking though because it had insane performance gains one guy has posted a article on xda overclocking 865 to almost 900mhz and comes neck and neck with sd888 in gpu. I asked him about overclocking 870 and he said it seems to be not possible but we can try to disable thermal throttling and it will still stay below sd888 temperatures and will have the same performance. I do doubt it though because the real performance comes with overclocking and with only 683mhz clock I dont see it beating sd888 because if the device runs cool it can almost use 100% and even with full performance it wont beat 888 but thats what he said.

check your dumpstate on miui bug report and seach for a word 2.1 , if you see chip version 2.1 its a new version but i think the early batches is the one that doest have any design on the back cover just a flat color
