I dont think NFS Most wanted is the benchmark for GPU performance, even the meadiatek 6577 with its outdated SGX531 coasted thru the game without any issues what so ever. I know for a fact that the 6589 GPU can handle almost all games at 720p resolution but at 1080p I am skeptical and will believe in its gaming prowess when I can see games like NOVA 3 run on 1080p screens which will become standard in a couple of months (I dont much care for 1080p screens over 720p but the GPU needs to power the screen)
I completely agree. Only a last generation game as the Nova 3 or similar, can make a good gaming test.
I think 1080p in a 5 inch phone is really just an overkill and just a marketing gimmick. I’d rather have good 720p performance and given the GPU the MTK6589 has I think 720p is all it can handle well.
Sure it might be able to play less demanding or older games at 720p but it’s not in the same league as the Galaxy S4 GPUs.
