The GPU makes a HUGE difference. CPU's are not made to handle graphics at all. That is why the concept of graphic cards came out or internal graphics in the motherboard. It is what caused the boom in gaming technology.

I don't particularly care about it in form of games but I'm upset because this would make the device speedier and work more efficiently with less energy use. (oh i forgot to mention, if gpu offloads the process of the interface, you'll actually use less energy, its in the specs as well)

Also, XDA has large gains but the problem was stability of the driver...the improvement in video playback is easily seen and games run faster. Also they never actually did the 2d driver, only 3d and they said that it is possible that the 2d and 3d are linked and are effecting each other.

I understand that. look at this and see what I mean.

Nintendo DS: 120,000 triangles/s, 30 M pixels/s
PowerVR MBX-Lite (iPhone 3G): 1 M triangles/s, 100 M pixels/s
Samsung S3C6410 (Omnia II): 4 M triangles/s, 125.6 M pixels/s
ATI Imageon (Qualcomm MSM72xx): 4 M triangles/s, 133 M pixels/s <---HTC
PowerVR SGX 530 (Palm Pre): 14 M triangles/s, ___ M pixels/s
ATI Imageon Z430 (Toshiba TG01): 22 M triangles/s, 133 M pixels/s
PowerVR SGX 535 (iPhone 3GS): 28 M triangles/s, 400 M pixels/s <---Iphone
Sony PSP: 33 M triangles/s, 664 M pixels/s <---PSP

PowerVR SGX 540 (TI OMAP4): 35 M triangles/s, 1000 M pixels/s
Nvidia Tegra APX2500 (Zune HD): 40 M triangles/s, 600 M pixels/s <--- Tegra
ATI Imageon _ (Qualcomm QSD8672): 80 M triangles/s, >500 M pixels/s <--- BTW, This Bad@ss GPU is from the 2nd gen Snapdragons

I say xda and us get together, take up a collection and bribe the **** out of a qualcomm employee

Maybe this is a mission for Technology1!?

I don't want it for the games...I'm more interested in the 2d driver rather then the 3d driver. Reason is

1) phone battery life would improve

2) it will respond quicker and the cpu can what it is suppose to

Re: Pro 2 is Also missing 3d accelaration. Confirmed!

Is this a thread for little gamer kids instead of businessmen, who this phone was meant for? Meaningless to me, all the heavy business users I know with iPhones end up envying my Mogul. I can't wait for the TP2

Re: Pro 2 is Also missing 3d accelaration. Confirmed!

Wow Bundo what a smarmy response, did you even read the comments? A faster 3d chip would help the entire OS run faster including many of your business apps.

Re: Pro 2 is Also missing 3d accelaration. Confirmed!

Wow I think this is the first Thread were I actually read ever post.
