Howdy folks :)
I've noticed something rather perplexing: game performance for Note on GB Roms is streets ahead of JB Roms in some cases. Bear in mind that this is all subjective (ie I haven't measured FPS) although in most cases where this is noticeable the performance difference is so large that I hardly need to. Think jerking and stuttering movement that interferes heavily with gameplay.
It only seems to effect some titles though: for example Dead Trigger and Shadowgun seem equally good on either (maybe the same game engine is the reason?) to my subjective eye. Real Racing 3 and Let's Golf 3 are very, very bad on JB roms that I've tried. Let's Golf 3 is jerky graphically. Real Racing 3 is jerky to the point of being unplayable.
On GB roms Let's Gold 3 is silky, silky smooth - literally everything, it's an older game of course. Real Racing 3 is jerky at times, in particular on the scenes before you start racing where it shows the cares, but not as much as JB. During gameplay it varies from jerky but still playable (when there's lots of cars/crashes) to that wonderful framerate steadiness where you feel in complete control of the car because everything FPS is consistently the same. Which it is not on JB at all. I realise RR3 is probably getting a bit beyond the Notes capabilities but the difference between JB and GB is night and day. And that's before I use any Chainfire3D features on GB.
I've tried Stock GB and Rocket ROM GB but only 3 JB ROMs - that being ParanoidAndroid 2.54 (utacka), PA 3.10 and Stunner v2 to get these subjective results.
So point of this post is: are all JB Roms like this for 3D performance? Particuarly interested in people that have tried RR3 and LG3 though I'm sure there's other games that this effects. I have read that Asylum and BlackCNA are good for 3D gaming - is it better/same than GB though?
I'm really in love with ParanoidAndroid features other than the gaming issues so I might try a dual booting solution or swap between nandroid backups to have a GB and JB roms even though this will be a PITA (the dual booting would require flashing a kernel before changing ROMS though at least I can do it online with KTools :).
Just wondering
