Micromax Mad Gaming & Benchmark

Benchmark results of Micromax Mad surprised me, if not all, at least some did. For instance in one benchmark it scored higher than Samsung Galaxy S2, which is still nowhere near this price in the market. That benchmark was Antutu by the way. In 3DMark which is mainly a gaming and GPU related benchmark, it was refusing to even run because the device don’t even have 1GB RAM, which is required to run the benchmark properly but it ran anyway and it performed well below average, the average frame rate was below 20. So, can’t call it good. But all in all the overall benchmark performance was neutral. Here are the scores.

Gaming

This phone has the hardware but it has so many bottlenecks that restricts its performance to fairly limited games. Like it’s internal memory is not even 1GB, you can’t install games that are above 1GB in size and because of 512MB RAM, even if you are able to get the game on the phone, they won’t run and IF they run they will crash. Let’s say you are the luckiest guy in this world and through rooting or some other way able to get a very graphic intensive game that is above 1GB on phone and also to run, there’s every possibility that it will show various other problems like freezing, lagging, stuttering and eventually crashing. It’s not rocket science that 512MB RAM is not good for Android, especially for gaming. You can’t increase the RAM of a phone, so not even rooting going to help you much.
Although it can play light games without any problem as you can see in the video below.
