To buy or not to buy Asus Transformer Prime TF201? That’s the question… The main point that I plan to buy Asus Transformer Prime ~ NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor. I want to try out Tegra 3 games. And plan to use it as notebook replacement since it has keyboard dock. It has micro HDMI output which I can use it to display PowerPoint slides with projector (need to buy micro HDMI to VGA adapter though). Has USB ports and SD carder just like notebook. It should be able to run all the notebook tasks, right? Let’s find out…
Asus Transformer Prime
Most of the Android 3D games are available for all GPU like Tegra 2, Qualcomm Snapdragon and PowerVR chipset. However, there are some still exclusive available for certain GPU like NVIDIA Tegra 2 THD games ~ Big Top THD, SoulCraft THD, Galaxy on Fire 2 THD… With Chainfire3D, you can play all of them (almost) on Amazon Kindle Fire which has PowerVR SGX540 GPU.
Galaxy on Fire 2 THD on Kindle Fire
Yes, a Tegra optimised Android game. The graphics must be great. Big Top THD is a circus game that support Tegra 2 and Tegra 3 with extra graphical enhancements. As I expected, no problem to play on Samsung Galaxy S II even without Chainfire 3D NVIDIA plugin help. 3D graphics looks okay but the gameplay… Err… Try it to find out yourself…
