Anyone with the older Nexus 7 or new N7 2 find it difficult playing SG DZ with those bezels? Thinking of getting a new device for DZ if the factory reset on my Galaxy Tab 2 doesn't do the trick to fix the lag. Crazy?

I'm 5'8" and have medium sized(?) hands I guess. With my SGS4, I have to reposition my hand to reach up/down on the screen when using it for general usage. Gaming isn't a problem on it.


N7 2 Out at Amazon.com and BB in the US.

for the most part, most playing on the N7 in GZR are playing with a controller.....Wing is trying the controller route out too, but he plays touchscreen in our GZR syncs. Those bezels ("love handles"Emoticon may be the cause of what's jacking up Wing's hands. lol Emoticon

I definitely prefer the touch controls on the n7. bezel isn't an issue. if anything its nice to have a place to hold. I'd imagine the new one will be even more comfortable because it's thinner and lighter. I'm sure it beats the hell put of playing on a phone.

Got DZ to work via the OTG...nice and smooth Emoticon

Only issue is you can't charge it like when on BT.

So, maybe because of the Nexus 7 it seems 3 phones leaked in the benchmarks:
Sony xperia Z Ultra (2 different models) and a Galaxy S4 with the snapdragon 800 and the Adreno 330 GPU.

The Sony phones have a 6.4 inch display! and I think it's water proof too. But without subsidies it will cost a pretty penny ($800)

These are the regular results, can't press the button for the extreme results but you can click on the individual devices to find the details if you have the 3DMark benchmark installed:


I'll just put the results of the top device:


It does come a bit under what the Shield will do, I think it comes out at the end of the month (correction, Q3 this year) but not sure how long until you can get it from your carrier and what carriers will have it.

The Galaxy S4 800 actually did beat the Shield on the GFXBench results off screen, but since the Shield is only 720p it does better on screen.

Next contender will be the PowerVR series 6 (rogue) but that's not due till Q3 this year.
Tegra 5 was demonstrated too with full OpenGL 4.4 support and supported by Unreal 4 engine, but that wont be available until the end of next year most likely.

Amazing how fast these chips are evolving!

Of course making us wanting the latest device like the PC wars Intel/AMD Nvidia/ATI (now AMD)

Ultimate SG DZ rig, not that I'm going to do it because I don't have it in me to port android to this beast.

Seco Kayla Platform



Yeah, it's a Tegra 3 (Although you could upgrade the chip if another better QSeven module is available) But this puppy can take a GK107 board with kernel support already in place, That means you can put a GeForce GTX650 (384 CUDA cores or 4 times the GPU of the upcoming (next year) Tegra 5 GPU giving it close to 900GFlops of power) on it. Of course the video card can be upgraded later and if you can write drivers you could even put a Titan board on it.

For storage, no problem it has a Sata connector and well. This is what Nvidia used to show off the Tegra 5 concept (but with a lower gpu card)

Maybe next year after my daughter is out of the house freeing up some time I will get something similar. Pretty much it's an upgradable Android PC board that fits on a mini ITX case and adding a power supply that matches the video card that you place in there.

And of course the CPU can be x86 based if you don't want ARM, so I guess you can throw almost anything to this board.

As for the CPU being a Tegra 3, I have finally overclocked my tf201 to 1.6 GHz (EZOverclock apk) but even stock the 4 cores are barely used in the game. After I get my Shield I will download the montley kernel on my tf201 that allows to overclock the GPU from 520 MHz up to 650 MHz.

Of course it would need a screen with touch connected via the usb, etc.. It would be a fun but expensive project.

That's cool...

I remember building my first PC back in the day...it was a P2 266 which had only out for a couple of weeks Emoticon

At the time it was a killer upgrade from my Compaq P1 166 Emoticon

Lived in Hong Kong for six years so I had access to all the latest tech as soon as it was released Emoticon

Haven't built anything since 2000 when laptops took over.

Well with the introduction of the PC version we have another avenue to explore which can be summed up in one word....

ALIENWARE Emoticon



ICESTORM Extreme 1,500 fps Emoticon Emoticon Emoticon

Looks like you can use PS3 controllers on PCs as well via MOTIONJOY drivers.

Gonna take my regular i7 laptop home tonight to play around with this.
