Snapdragon 820 Performance

[millerlw1323]

Has anyone had a chance to test out dolphin on the Snapdragon 820? I'm interested to see how the Adreno 530 holds up. Also, does anyone know when devices such as the S7 will be getting OpenGL ES 3.2 support? I read that it would come later but I haven't heard any news since then.

I doubt it will be any good, it'll be video driver limited with ES 3.1 just like Mali.

Darn, I was hoping it would be decent. So it will never get OpenGL ES 3.2 support? Guess smartphones capable of running dolphin at fullspeed are still a year or so off.

Qualcomm now has ES 3.2 drivers, no idea when devices will be picking it up.

Hmm, maybe it will be implemented with the release of Android N? Though that seems a bit far off... Hopefully they release it soon.

We need someone with Nexus 6p and Android N preview to try Dolphin with ES 3.2 support. S820 should be doing well if Qualcomm won't mess up their ES 3.2 driver

Of course someone would also have to get a build of Dolphin where we aren't forcing Adreno devices to be limited to ES 3.0.
Hopefully the issues have magically disappeared that required us to do that.
