G2 vs Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) GPU Benchmark - NeoCore

[jlg19753]

Must have had the cpu turned down on vibrant cause I have both and the vibrant is much faster.

[chrischoy9]

@jlg19753 its something called vsync

[amlaboy]

That's a nasty glare on the g2. I'm willing to bet if you eliminated the glare, it would look a whole lot better. Poor angle shot for the g2.

[unicorndeath]

I still can't make up my mind, I just wish the samsung had a flash for the carmera, the only thing I hate.

Oh didn't realize I was buying the next gen gaming hand helds.. I was hoping to buy a phone for business purposes..

[SweetMonster457]

get a tripod

[inyourroom91]

The hinge problem ain't nothing! Who holds a phone upside down unless your a bat and if u was a bat u couldn't see, I got the g2 b4 it came out not once have I had any problem! N it has never slowed down!

[v12390]

Vibrant with custom rom and lagfix ftw :)

[hudene]

I have both phones. Just received the G2 last night in the mail and haven't been able to put it down since. I've had the Vibrant for about 2 weeks now and I thought I wouldn't be able to get over how awesome the screen swipes and how pretty it is, but I did once my G2 came...The g2 is faster, & doesn't lag like my brother and I's vibrants do. The G2 also has a slide out keyboard AND UMA calling which is awesome b/c my house has bad signal! This is just my preference.

[nraudigy]

Nexus S> These.

[Andrewmw17]

The g2 lacks quality and that's why its faster. lol'd to the keyboard and the hinge problem, most people regret buying it.

[Metalfreak760]

not bad scores. i kinda want a g2 but not because of these benchmark. i just took back my, mytouch 4g then bought a vibrant from a friend. i will admit the vibrant is better looking and the screen is sexy but geez samsungs ui sucks bad. its so laggy and its sad u need a lag fix to take care of it. now i run stock 2.1 with the lag fix and its still slow to me. the mytouch 4g was way quicker in normal use not in gaming. but i gotta admit this gpu in the vibrant beats the mytouch 4gs gpu hands down

[nraudigy]

Alot people still don't know Galaxy S is capped at 56FPS. Always around 56 in Neocore unless u have a FPS uncapped ROM.

[mikeysmoment]

@nraudigy i score 3000 on quadrant on my G2 so no you didnt "own" anything especially because that clock was tooken off because of stability issues

[nraudigy]

Galaxy S owns G2.

Vibrant owns the G2. 3000+

[waichi90]

SGS is working on a 2.1 and DZ is working on the 2.2 a think we should wait until official release of 2.2 for SGS and then compare it...

[mikeysmoment]

@waichi90 it doesnt change the score

[MelvinSF]

Quadrant this, Linpack that... Yeah, my Galaxy S can score >2400 on Quadrant with the right ROM/kernel/lagfix too, but the G2 still feels faster than that, and so does my current Galaxy S setup which scores 'only' around 1450. Those numbers are just misleading.

The only benchmarks representative for actual speed are the graphics ones that depend on FPS. And even then it's not entirely fair, due to the 56fps cap in the Galaxy S, so it may still perform better on heavy stuff.

[LBenz14]

ill take better quality picture over speed anyday

[K1ngggg]

galaxy s locked 56 fps

[nraudigy]

Vibrant gets 3000+ Quadrant score.

[YoungRay]

G2 is fast than the vibrant fuck the screen.

[WiiRocks66]

I hope the devs can remove the 56 fps cap on the Galaxy S's and game developers will take advantage of the power of the PowerVR SGX 540.

[nraudigy]

@WiiRocks66 they already removed the cap locked and overclocked to 1.6ghz. it scores 78 fps in Neocore.

[WiiRocks66]

@nraudigy That kernel wasn't really running at 1.6ghz and it wasn't showing the true framerate. The devs said it's fake, but they don't really know why.

[nraudigy]

@WiiRocks66 Neocore is very out of dated with OpenGL 1.1 when all the intense 3D games are running on OpenGL 2.0. Galaxy S/Nexus S are capped at 56 fps/hz in Neocore. A better benchmark would be Nenamark1 since it does OpenGL 2.0, which is the lastest. Try out Dungeon Defenders for yourself. Tegra 2> Hummingbird > Snapdragon

[eldies1]

i swear these vibrant (galaxy s) owners are just another breed of the icrap fanboys

[lolalexlin]

@eldies1 agreed. the touchwiz software is absolutely garbage. not to mention how slowly samsung rolls out their updates.

[nraudigy]

@eldies1 Go look it up. Galaxy S have highest score in Quandrant, Neocore and Nenamark. It's the truth.

[mikeysmoment]

@nraudigy all three of those are wrong

[enriquephoenix]

@eldies1 I never seen so many peeps mention how superior their Vibrant is to any other phone.

[mikeysmoment]

@enriquephoenix Uhhhh iphone?

[mikeysmoment]

@eldies1 exactly

[oldarney]

This is just pure epic. Nice music, nice graphics nice theme... the battle of the droids in for supremacy. I hope my phone won't turn on me like that mecha.

[Da1manbandman]

Alright people. The Vibrant is an awesome phone. I think we all can agree to that. For the past few months i"ve owned the iphone, htc incredible, htc Evo, samsung vibrant and the G2. The best phones on the market hands down but i can honestly say that the G2 is faster out of the box. Sure the g2 is running 2.2 but think about it. if the G2 also had a 1Gig processor that would even up the game a lil bit and the g2 is still faster. Believe me i have owned ALL of them, So i know.

[Niklastzimbo]

The galaxy s gpu is still hell of alot faster than the adreno 205 gpu in G2.

This benchmark is made and optimized for qualcom hardware so thats why it score more fps in this.

[nraudigy]

@Niklastzimbo This is just weak benchmark only OpenGL 1.1. Galaxy S have their framerate locked at around 55.8 which is the screen refresh rate. It can do 70+ fps easily in Neocore. Try Nenemark, which uses the more advanced OpenGL 2.0. G2 gets around 32.5 while Galaxy S gets around 50.

[0rionwarrior]

lame, i9000's refresh rate is 56 .. so there's no way you could get higher with a sgs on neocore.. try quadrant, the fps differences are in many occasions around 3 times more on a sgs then g2.

[JohnnyBBash]

I'd like to see these compared running some OpenGL ES 2.0 content instead of the relic OpenGL ES 1.1. Both phones support ES 2.0. Where are the ES 2.0 tests? Bring forth the shaders!

I've heard comments that the Samsung renders everything in 16 bit mode while the Snapper does it all in 32 bit mode. Anyone have any info on this?

[sppackers2pac4life]

YALL JUS SAYIN THE VIBRANT BETTER CUZ YALL GOT ONE... MY FRIEND GOT THE VIBRANT AND ITS NOT ALL THATS IT OK THO... IM BOUT TO GET THE G2 OHHHH YEA

[0rionwarrior]

@sppackers2pac4life

your loss! :)

[sppackers2pac4life]

@0rionwarrior even the tmoble said G2 betta

[0rionwarrior]

@sppackers2pac4life

Hardware-wise it aint :)

[sppackers2pac4life]

@0rionwarrior wat u maean hardware wise?

[0rionwarrior]

@sppackers2pac4life

Software could be limited on the g2, hardware aint. Those two won't get any modification on the hardware, software is an other story! :)

The sgs has a refresh rate of around 56fps, so extremer tests are needed for a more true measurement.

even quake 2 and 3 get maxed out at +/-56fps on a sgs

[notanotherkid]

wow galaxy s caught up while running 2.1 thats why i love my vibrant

[derrick3422]

vibrant screen still looks better!

[sp7693]

Well you gotta take into consideration the G2 natively runs Android 2.2 whereas the Galaxy S is most likely on 2.1

[0rionwarrior]

@sp7693

doesn't matter, still capped at 56fps =/

[DarkHawkEye]

@sp7693 true i just got my g2 on the 10/16/10 since it runs android 2.2 as the stock rom. I was thinking about getting the vibrant but it was still running 2.1 which it will be getting the 2.2 but not till later in the year.

[rashad123us]

Def Jam's gonna sue you!

[nyolsson]

either way, 2nd gen snapdragons with adreno 205 def stepped up over 1st gen snappys found in nexus one, dinc, evo, etc..

[RedDevilsChicha14]

6.5 ounces for this Giant G2 , Next , I would stick with my Lovely Vibrant 2.1 ! Best of the best , lightweight , SuperFast and Supersexy!

[lamrof]

@RedDevilsChicha14 As far as sexy goes the G2 gets my vote but its heavy.

[jugerknott09]

It wasnt the SAME because the G2 started first and the Galazy caught up.... Wait till the Galaxy S2 comes out, yea itll be a while from now but it will be an awesome phone..

[badaphooko02]

I will still take my vibrant over the g2.

[nyolsson]

@badaphooko02 same

[androidfunmore]

@badaphooko02 Same here

[Iwebguru]

@badaphooko02 you guys realize this test is meaningless. Check out a quadrant gpu test or nenamark u will see the galaxy s destroys the g2.

[tahnayetahna]

The vsync is active on galaxy s , so it`s lock on 56fps , the power of Galaxy S is far better than G2 .....

[manishsir]

@tahnayetahna

VSYNC is on by default on all Android phones...Snapdragon is still faster....take that!

[lanceealy]

Wow Qualcomm made a big improvement. Great job.
