Hardware 3d? for android on tp2

[masetas]

Noob ?. Now that the Hardware 3d works what does that bring to the android build. What will work now that didnt before or what will work better now?

I know its a noob question but just one way to find out the answer (asking)



Great job to all dev's on this

Well i just seen that the 3d is needed for playing angry birds so thats all i needed to know

[one80oneday]

Anyone actually get Angry Birds to work? If so, how?

[sp4rtan5]

Nope..... Didn't do nothing on my end.everything is still slowand buggy. I test using blowup lite, and that's still running at about 7 fps.

[masetas]

so can anyone else answer whats the benefit of having hardware 3d now

[InvincibleLiving]

It's supposed to accelerate processing of graphics and improve visual quality of certain file types/apps that need it...

[masetas]

and is it doing that?

[lioncat55]

i tested it with a game and i got like 3-5fps with the game and it was like 20fps with just the cpu......

[manekineko]

The only definitive improvements I've seen/heard of are Neocore (3D benchmark) went from 1fps to 18fps and Gallery 3D works where it used to just crash.

So in short, I think at this point, it's mostly academic, but it's a great step forward nonetheless!

Don't we need it if we want any chance of using Sense on Android?
