Default [Q] Gaming/Gameplay Performance review

I havent seen any vids showing gameplay performance on the Desire HD except angry birds. Has anyone found any or plan on doing one to demo some gameplay videos such as asphalt/nova/modern combat.. its just to see the difference between the smoothness of the HTC Desire (Adreno 200) and Desire HD (Adreno 205).. Im just afraid that there arent much difference between it.

And btw, have any of you guys played some 3D games on your Desire HD? How was it and how do u compare to other snapdragon phones for an example and is it better compared to other snapdragon phones?

Spill some reviews on this please

It benchmarks twice as fast as the one in the Desire, so the difference should be noticeable (unless the games you're testing aren't pushing hard enough of course).

im just afraid that neocore arent a proper benchmark and adreno based games arent that smooth compared to PowerVR's.. have u tried games on the DHD? do u see significant difference?

Yes, the gaming sector is geared towards PowerVR as can be found on both the Galaxy S & i-Phone.
These games running on the SGS are absolutely fantastic and when you then hook it up to a large 42" LED TV it's unbelievable quality for a phone.

I do believe HTC missed a trick in not incorporating a TV Out on their flagship phone.
.........I don't always get your questions right.... but you'll certainly know I've tried.

P.S. Many thanks for the Thanks votes. Thanks received are converted into a charitable donation.

All the gameloft games like nova and sandstorm you have to buy from their website http://www.gameloft.com.au/android-games/top/
as they aren't sold on the market.

All the games play very smoothly, and although the sgs has a more powerful gpu android games are seemingly more optimized for Qualcomm processors, so trust me when I say games play as smooth as butter.
