[Q] nSHIELD (port) as mini Gaming PC topic

Hey guys, I had this idea I wanted to run by the community for feedback before I really started digging into it.

I attend PAX East every year and love being able to do Bring Your Own Computer for the LAN fest area. The big problem is my distance from Boston and the size of my PC Tower. Rather than focus on the biggest and beastest of Rigs, I wanted to try the other side of the formula.

The nSHIELD Portable is a decent little machine and seems to have less hardware issues than its newer nS Tablet does. What I want to eventually do is load Ubuntu onto it which would allow me to load Steam and then hook it up to the LAN network at PAX and play games with the other attendees. I currently have a Portable and am just looking for new ways to get more life out of it.

Does anyone have any experience in loading an OS onto the device or experience even in trying to do what Im describing? Any help is welcome :)

Thanks~

I see no difference in Gaming (from the Note 2 to Note 4) topic

Was testing Asphalt 8 today, and noticed that gameplay was more or less the same as it was in the Note 2. Seems like we're reaching plateau in what can be done in mobile technology.

[TIP] Increase gaming performance topic

The N7 is an amazing tablet, but lets face it, the S4 Pro and Adreno 320 GPU really aren't up to the task when it comes to gaming on such a high resolution screen. Graphically intensive games just don't run as well as they should. So I did some digging and testing, and found an app that lets you lower your screen resolution, thus decreasing the strain on the GPU and increasing gaming performance. When changing the resolution to 800x1280, I found a noticeble increase in framerate in 3D games such as Riptide GP 1+2, NOVA 3, and Modern Combat 5, and the games still look great. You're not going to want to leave the resolution set that low all the time because it does make everything else look pretty bad, but when you're going to play a game, it only takes a second to set the resolution and start playing. It's a paid app (there are free ones that do the same thing, but I've had the best luck with this one), but considering the gains, it's worth every penny of the .99 asking price.

So, give it a shot and let me know how it works out for you.

Here's some before and after 3D benchmarks-
