Ok.. before everything i need to say that i am noob about development.. i dont even know what HW and buffer does.. draw firewire etc...
and i am bad at english '-'

so... i've never downloaded for pc... just for android.. when i active buffer render.. everything gets VERY blurry... i thought that was the function of buffer rendering.. but seeing this topic i've downloaded for pc;;; and buffer on pc.. final fantasy dissidia 012... fate extra.. everything gets better with buffer.. and on android i got very blurry;; its some kind of problem? or is diferente from pc to android??

my device is an ainol fire 1.5 GHz, AML8726-MX Cortex-A9
Dual-Core-ARM MALI-400x4 so... if is not normal buffer get blurry;;; this can be solver? ( like = the same effect of buffer on pc.. goes on android? because if is it possible i could play FF dissidia much better)

For me it just gets blurry when I use Buffer Rendering 1x when using dual resolution is normal only less crisp when deactivated.

It is normal that the image goes blurry since buffered rendering decreases the resolution and lose graphics or some special effects, so there is an option to double the resolution (2x buffer).

Ok but.. on final fantasy dissidia 012. without buffer ... how should i put;; the image is kind dark.. less bright... with buffer on pc x1 or x2... its the same as psp =) of course i cant compare PC with a android 1.5ghz but i wish i could get the same effect with buffer T_T

[GuilhermeGS2]

I think on PC not exist Buffer Rendering 1x and 2x. Because we can select the resolution of screen. On android not is possible select the resolution.

Isn't there any other PowerVR user to tell if he has the same problem?

[killermk214]

i dont know when started but... from some build 7.6 >> buffered render drops a LOT of FPS .. i tried, on bleach heated soul 7, Fate Extra and FF Dissidia 012, and X1 and X2 looks the same for me on buffered; on prints look at the VPS

on bleach without buffer everything is ok 50-60 FPS , just when there are specials drops to 30. on buffer drops to 12-20 fps

on fate the same thing..

on FF dissidia the image gets brightier but lags and some graphic glitches.

i think that the 161 build did it , it made the games soo unplayable for me

[skyfor]

is buffered rendering make the game faster???

[killermk214]

is buffered rendering make the game faster???

No,but now make slow '-'
?
i don't know if is because of development of the emulator or anything else but. the fact is : at least from some build after 7.6 buffered rendering deascrease FPS every game. 55>20, 40>10... and before the fps was the same with buffered or not.. the image just got blurry and some bugs disapeared ( this part was good =) )

the point of this topic at least for me is : is normal every game deascrease FPS with Buffered Rendering ( even 2x) ? some games i still need to play with buffered. so i keep using the oficial 7.6 because this dont happen ( deascrease FPS)

[vontman]

actually buffered render is much faster for me, especially with heavy special effects like summoning persona in P3P, special moves in Bleach HTS 7 and so on.
BUT STiLL PEOPLE MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE BLACK SCREENS I NEED SOME ONE TO HELP ME NOT TO ASK ABOUT THE BUFFERED RENDER @_@

[vontman]

y isn't any one even interested in the problem <_>

i have samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1" and i solved several bugs with cyanomodgen android 4.2.2 because added new binary gpu driver.

[vontman]

so u had similar issues using cyanagon?, and may i ask what kind of binary gpu driver are you talking about?
