kerempet, 23 Oct 2014Android fanbois don't really get it eh?
Nvidia Shield Ta... moreNo. It's only you and like ifans that don't get it.
Congrats. Apple pulled a fast one and brought great graphics.
However all any of you are going to do is act like that means everything and exaggerate and brag it Neverending.

Nvidia Shield Tablet native resolution is 1920 x 1200. That means it has around 2.3 million pixels.
Ipad Air 2 native resolution is 2048 x 1536. That means it has around 3.14 million pixels.
Now, ONSCREEN tests means they are running in their native resolution. So the Air 2 is pushing way more pixels than the Shield while staying within 3 frames.
For the OFFSCREEN tests, both devices are running at full HD resolution. Which is 1920 x 1080. This is so that meaningful comparison can be made. Now, the Shield fell as much as 7 frames behind.
Conclusion, at same resolution aka OFFSCREEN tests, the Shield can only smell Air's fart.

i dont care whether its GPU is more powerful than tegra K1 or not.
6 months later these GPU's would be outdated.
Both will provide ample performance for all games out there.
I still prefer the nexus 9 or nvidia shield tablet over the ipad air 2 since android is a way superior OS allowing superior functionality and performance over iOS

lol, 23 Oct 2014It's all thanks to 20nm vs Tegra 28nm. Next year when they ... moreDon't forget that apple is ahead of the game.I mean next year when Nvidia will move to 20nm processors,then apple will be on 14nm and so no one can match apple right now because they are far far ahead of the chipset designing game though they don't manufacture it themselves.Apple is just pretty awesome

It means that the resolution is the same on all tested devices (1080p here). This compares GPU raw power, real-life results are shown in onscreen results, because this is what games actually run on.

ACID, 23 Oct 2014It only does better off screen, so unless you plan on payin... more2/3 of K1 tablets have a 2048x1536 screen. 2048x1536 is 50% more pixels compared to Nvidia Shield Tablet 1920x1200 resolution, so K1 is going to be 10-15% slower

Hats off to Apple. They alone are fighting the giants who share chipsets, OS & what not to put Apple down. Of course, Apple too depends upon others for manufacturing but their design is marvellous in both software & hardware.

lol, 23 Oct 2014GPU is same on 32 and 64-bit. It only does better off screen, so unless you plan on paying any games without seeing an image, then this test is pointless, and K1 still wins.

How many Nvidia Shield tablets do you get for one iPad Air 2? Almost 2 eh? We'll see when Nvidia comes out with 20 nm SoC and new GPU.
