Epic released their unreal engine 3 showcase benchmarking utility :

https://play.google....mes.EpicCitadel

I got 22.9 @ 1280x800 (expanded desktop mode) and High Quality graphics ... Comparing all the 40s and 50s people got with "similar" tablets is something wrong with our tablet or is it just mine ?

What firmware are you using?
With 1207v2, the Hero 1 apparently gets around 29 fps.

With my Aurora 2 (Feiyu 0103), I got 35.6 fps. Same chipset as Hero 1, but lower screen resolution (1024x600).

fw1219 and I got 28.9

Same here. With CM10/CM 10.1 my score is also 22,9 FPS, with 1207v2 my score is between 29,7 and 30,2 FPS. I have no idea why. I found out that the cpu clock in CM10/10.1 is set to max 1200 Mhz, with 1207v2 firmware AnTuTu benchmark say's 1512 Mhz each core. Maybe is that the problem?

Sorry for my bad english, I'm a mid-aged man from Germany.

galaxy s3 with mali400 mp4 scores 42 fps and it has a slightly lower screen resolution (1280x720 vs 1280x800) so it's a normal result for a mali400 mp2

But why is it with the CM10.1 much slower than with the 1207v2? I like the CM10.1 very much, but the 1207v2 is nearly 35% faster.

[patientx]

So if I go 1219 and then cm10 my score would go up ?

[Christian Troy]

you would score between 27 and 29 fps, a normal result for a mali-400 mp2 running @ 1280x800, a rk3066 running at the same resolution should give 10 fps more according to what the sgs3 scores

My RK3066 tablet does not do any better.

N80 (RK3066) - 1024x768
Quality: 29.6 FPS
Performance: 31.7 FPS

I think anyone getting about 30 FPS with 8726-MX chip is doing great to excellent. My N80 should be getting 35-40 FPS @ 1024x768 but that does not seem to be the case. Probably because of less optimized firmware from Yuandao.

S3 has Mali-400MP4 @ 400 MHz. RK3066 Mali-400MP4 @ 266 (or 250?) MHz. That will make a performance difference too.

@Nickos I have momo7, 1024x552 resolution, running at 1.4GHz with interactive governor, my score is 30fps. Plz shed some light that why its getting low score in comparison with Aurora II? In Taiji I get 45+ while Aurora II remains under 20. Thanks

Novo 10 Hero, upgraded to 1219 then sapjunior's custom rom ( http://www.slatedroi...official-v1219/ )
Now I got 30.1. Seems like 1219 really makes a difference. By the way, I didnt encounter any problems so far.

[typer100]

Got 57fps on my Nexus4 @ 1196x768.

Sold my Fire and looking for a 10" tablet. Hero? Hero2?

[Ali DSD]

@Nickos, @Tzul ,@Janesh please give your expert opinion that why Rk3066 is getting low score in this test ? Rockchip has been great in nearly all test so its unexpected.

I have CM10 running on my Hero and Epic Citadel constantly crashes my tablet. Does anyone else have this issue?

[StuartCF68]

Okay, tablet has been upgraded to CM10.1 on 0128FW. Now I'm getting 29.7 fps at 1280x752 resolution with no crashes. Not bad!

[Christian Troy]

I've not tried citadel with latest mali kernel/usperspace drivers but on antutu it gives more points (respect the previous libraries that were already improved) in GPU benchmarks.
Nice work amlogic, nice work.

I've tried citadel on the aurora (so with a 1024x600 screen res) and these latest libs and it gave 40.3 fps (a +5fps ~15% respect the previous libs)

If this happens on all RK3066 tablets, then either kernel issue or using older Mali driver.

The Mali driver gets updated overtime. Should use the latest to get the best performance results.

If this happens to some RK3066 tablets, then they are using older Mali driver and tablet makers (or Rockchip) must swap in newer version and release new firmware with it.

Or could just be hardware, too. The title is an iPad port so the way it was coded is probably just more optimized for PowerVR instead of Mali graphics. I think this is one case where we'll probably see better performance from A31 than RK3066.

Rockchip RK3066
Mali 400MP4 250MHz: 9 GFLOPS

Allwinner A31
PowerVR SGX544MP2 350MHz: 22 GFLOPS

Apple A5 (iPad 2)
PowerVR SGX543MP2 250MHz: 16 GFLOPS

Apple A5X (iPad 3)
PowerVR SGX543MP4 250MHz: 32 GFLOPS

Aurora (1024x600) uses 8726-MX chip - Mali-400MP2 @ 400 MHz. "Seems" to score higher than RK3066 but need one @ 1024x600 to really compare with. Hero (1280x800) 8726-MX scores about same as RK3066 (1024x768) tablet.

So, I will stick with older Mali driver or kernel issue with RK3066. Driver being my first choice.

I wonder if the Mali driver is updated by Rockchip or tablet maker?
