Yeah thats why. I promise you. Evo cannot handle it. At least not without root. Look at benchmark tests, they even lag.
I didn't just try my Evo on this. I tried many. It does't have graphical ability out of the box.
Got rid of my Evo...

I disagree. Strongly. HTC devices are the only devices that cannot handle the games. Not because HTC devices suck, but because Qualcomm makes a cheap processor that cannot handle graphics. No dedicated GPU.
Try the same games on Motorola devices using TI's OMAP, try it on Samsung devices, try it on everything else.... and it works. I was testing a motorola droid 1 side by side with an Evo on toon warz and the Evo could not play it well. It was laaaaaaaaggggy and choppy. The Droid, however, managed to get through it just fine.
A phone that is supposed to be "more powerful."
Everything else about HTC's devices is great (maybe not the camera), but I will not purchase another HTC device until they decide to stop using only Qualcomm, or until Qualcomm decides to build a better chip.
Are you aware the Evo and only the Evo is capped at 30fps? If this cap is removed it will run games about the same. So stop spreading the, misinfo on the Snapdragon. It is capable of running games just as well, as shown with a nexus one. Just HTC capped the Evo which is causing the lag. Get the right info before saying something isn't good and cheap. Stop bashing HTC, when your incorrect. The HTC Nexus One houses the same chip and was pretty close to the Droid X and Epic in 3d tests. Here is a video of the Nexus One.

Here is the Evo running Asphalt 5 with uncapped graphics.

The HTC Incredible also houses the same chip and runs games just as smooth as the Droid X and Epic.

Not true. Droid Incredible is just as laggy. I have tried this, trust me. I bought an Evo first. I wanted to be sure it wasn't just my device.
Try playing NOVA or Modern Combat or Assasins Creed on a Qualcomm powered device. A lot of it is lag. I tried Raging Thunder on Evo and it worked OK. Asphalt 5 also worked OK. Nothing special.
To me, it seems like you haven't personally tried to play games on any other device. The FACT is that Qualcomm powered smartphones cannot handle the graphics. At least not until the G2 comes out. And the Galaxy S series of phones is still 3X as powerful on the GPU side.
I totally agree with this!!! lol I still like the evo waaay more and it seems alot of reviewers still like the evo better too.. Epic is still a cool phone though..

<<enjoying my popcorn while witnessing the silly banter>>
Same. In a nutshell, it's like the OP saying, EPIC, but everyone reading, "my son," and when the see EVO, they actually read "your son."
In other words, people are reading this, "Your son (EVO) is nice, but he can't do some things well, which is why my son (EPIC) is better."
Girls, let the cat fight continue!!
Weird when I played a few 3D games on the Incredible it ran smooth. Same went for the Nexus One and Evo uncapped. I personally think your just trolling estebancam. The Snapdragon is a fine processor and does hold its own on 3D games.
Did you even look at the video for the Nexus or Incredible? Both running smoothly.. Also the new OTA has leaked to some people on the EVO. Averaging 53fps and getting Quadrant scores as high as the Nexus 2.2.
[q] new ota??? 3.29.651.5 - Page 4 - xda-developers
Scroll to the last reply. Pics are there of it
Numbers? You mean the ones where the Nexus and Incredible only scored 3-4fps lower then the Galaxy and only about 2-3fps lower then the Droid X. Huge difference let me tell ya.. LOL

Fps matters the most during scrolling and gaming. Scrolling with 30 fps was good enough for me (although an uncapped Evo must be incredible!) and many games are optimized for the Snapdragon processor anyways (not like I do much gaming besides the occasional Brick Breaker).
Oh yeah realize this.. I was pointing out that he was saying the Snapdragon is a weak processor which is indeed incorrect. Yeah it's not as powerful as the Hummingbird or OMAP but it's pretty darn close, and you have to give it credit for being what a year old?

Even if you were, you probably wouldn't have any problems unless if you're trying to run some psp emu game (which doesn't even exist)
You think that performance has to do only with fps???????
Nope. Sorry. Android central published tests on graphics with evo, droid x and epic.... droid x and epic did not lag. Evo did. During the graphically intesnse part of the test.
I would look it up for you but I'm on my phon and on the go right now.
Look:
It wasn't Epic vs. Evo, it was just Evo, Nexus, Droid X.
The GPU on the Galaxy S is more powerful than the Droid X.
As you can see on the link below, the Droid X is the only one that does not lag at all. The Evo is horrible and the Nexus one lags when turning into the stairs.
Also, look at the regular benchmark of Evo vs. Droid X. Qualcomm's processor is the lowest. I bet when Droid X gets 2.2, it MIGHT be higher on that. Snapdragon can crunch numbers very well, but it cannot crunch graphics.
There is proof. Both the Qualcomm phones lag. Droid X does not. Epic is more powerful than Droid X.
Keep in mind this is not a full game. Just a benchmark test.... yet it still lags.
