EMUI, the customization layer for Huawei and Honor phones (the latter is a sub-brand of the Chinese firm), has among its list of features one that is especially interesting for gamers: GPU Turbo. GPU Turbo, now in its 3.0 version, is a game acceleration software that increases your performance without serious consequences for the battery, which in fact reduces its consumption in this mode. And now GPU Turbo has added new supported games to its list, including well-known titles such as Fortnite and Minecraft, and you might be interested in them.
With the release of the new Huawei P30 and P30 Pro, phones boasting impressive power, RAM, and screens, Huawei has added new games to the GPU Turbo list, which until now was quite limited with only 6 titles. This list has now been expanded to 25 games. This significant update will arrive with EMUI 9.1 and with which compatibility with very popular games on Android is significantly expanded.
Yes, new games have been added to the supported list, and if you're a regular gamer on your Huawei or Honor mobile phone, you might be interested, as there are popular games like Fortnite o MinecraftIn addition to other competitive titles like Free Fire, FIFA Mobile, and PES, this expansion makes Huawei's gaming mode much more useful for everyday use, especially for those who spend many hours playing games on their mobile devices.
What exactly is GPU Turbo and how does it improve your games?
GPU Turbo represents a deep redesign of the graphics processing framework at the system level of the device. Instead of being limited to minor adjustments, this technology integrates everything together. hardware and software to achieve accelerated processing, optimizing how the CPU, GPU, and memory are used in games.
In practice, GPU Turbo analyzes different game scenarios and how RAM and the power consumption of the processor and GPU are managed; this can be verified by measuring performance with GameBenchBased on that data, it creates a behavioral model for each supported title, which is subsequently used to optimize the voltage and operating frequencyThanks to this, the system can maintain a more stable frame rate even in demanding games.
This optimization can be done without an NPU (neural processing unit), although having one is helpful. accelerates the execution of models and allows the system to learn and better adapt to usage patterns. For the player, the result is a smoother gaming experiencewith fewer stutters and fewer FPS drops during periods of high graphical load.
Another key point is that the voltage and frequency adjustment is also designed for reduce energy consumptionHuawei has announced processor power consumption reductions of around 10% with GPU Turbo 3.0, which translates to more autonomy without sacrificing good performance in demanding titles like Fortnite or PUBG Mobile.
New games supported by GPU Turbo
With the arrival of the latest version of EMUI and GPU Turbo 3.0, the list of compatible titles It goes from 6 to 25 supported gamesThis means that many of today's most popular games can take advantage of Huawei's specific optimization to offer better graphics quality and greater stability.
This is the list of new games supported:
- Fornite
- Knives Out
- Battle Bay
- Crazy Taxi
- Real Racing 3
- Into the Dead 2
- NBA 2K19
- Dragon Nest M
- Duel Links
- PES 2019
- Dragon Ball Legends
- FIFA Mobile
- Free Fire
- Minecraft
- Helix
- Plants VS Zombies Heroes
- Subway Surfers
- Speed Drifters
Exciting new releases, with popular games like Fortnite, Minecraft, Subway Surfers or the famous football games PES discipline o FIFA MobileAll these titles benefit from a more stable frame rate and a more efficient use of resources, something that is especially noticeable in long games or in scenes with many elements on screen.
All games compatible with GPU Turbo 3.0
These new games These are in addition to those already supported for this technology, which are the following:
- Player Unknown's Battleground Mobile (PUBG Mobile)
- Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
- Vainglory
- Arena of Valor
- Rules of Survival
- NBA 2K18
If we combine both lists, we have a catalog of 25 optimized games for GPU Turbo 3.0, which includes battle royale titles like PUBG Mobile and Fortnite, MOBAs like Arena of Valor and Vainglory, racing games like Real Racing 3, and popular arcade games like Subway Surfers and Helix. This variety ensures that both competitive and casual gamers will notice improvements.
RoughlyGPU Turbo analyzes how each of these games behaves and creates a profile that is used to adjust power in real time which is allocated to the GPU and the processor. This helps maintain a stable frame rate in the most demanding games, but also applies optimizations to lighter games, which helps reduce consumption peaks and improve the phone's thermal performance.
This will allow you to have a better experience in these games, with fewer FPS drops and potentially higher frame rates where the hardware allows it. Furthermore, by reducing power consumption in the processor and GPU, you can enjoy longer gaming sessions without your battery draining as quickly.
Huawei and Honor devices compatible with GPU Turbo
Furthermore, this isn't just limited to their high-end phones, but also includes phones like the Honor 7X or Honor 9 Lite They too will be able to enjoy this technology. Huawei has been bringing GPU Turbo to an increasingly wider catalog, including mid-range phones and models with very competitive prices.
We expect to see this system in all the phones Huawei releases, although at the moment the list of phones that enjoy it is quite extensive; we can even see the aforementioned Honor 7X or Honor 9 Lite, but we also find even cheaper phones like the P SmartAs more devices receive EMUI 9.1 In later versions, GPU Turbo 3.0 is activated via software update.
At launch, the first to debut GPU Turbo 3.0 were the Huawei P30 and P30 ProThey were the pioneers in including EMUI 9.1 as standard. From there, the company has been expanding support to other Huawei and Honor devices, following an update roadmap that prioritizes recent models but also reaches more modest phones.
One of the great advantages is that this feature is fully software-basedTherefore, it doesn't depend on specific physical components. This makes it possible for even phones with older hardware to receive performance and efficiency improvements simply with an EMUI update, provided Huawei decides to include them on the support list.
All this effort by Huawei to improve the performance of its phones with the most popular games is also reflected in its sister brand, Honor. Let's remember that the new Honor View20 It was unveiled with a media blitz in which Fortnite played a major role, as the device included an exclusive skin, just as other brands have done with their own models. Beyond a software feature like GPU Turbo, other manufacturers are opting to launch smartphones specifically designed for gamingMeanwhile, Huawei is committed to improving the overall gaming experience across much of its catalog.
Are you mobile player Do you own a Huawei phone? What do you think of this software? Is it available on your phone? Let us know!
With this combination of graphics optimization, FPS stabilization, reduced power consumption, and compatibility with popular titles like Fortnite, Minecraft, and PUBG Mobile, GPU Turbo has become one of the Key EMUI features for gamersAnd a compelling reason to consider Huawei and Honor phones if you spend many hours enjoying your favorite Android games.
