im implementing a basic 2D engine for Android, just for my own use, in order to be able to reuse the base-code between my game developments. Im neraly new on OpenGL ES 2.0, so i have some doubts about what is better to render, Vertex Arrays or Vertex Buffer Objects. Ive read some (here and other webs) about it, that VBO for static objects, so you dont have to resend data to GPU every time, and for constantly moving objects youll find better performance on Vertex Arrays.
Better than believing or not, i decided to benchmark both, so here are the results for 100 squares & 400 squares rendered on screen. VA wins the test, even on static render. i can post the code i want to see it. (mseg means miliseconds, im spanish and forgot to put that in english)
100 Squares:
400 squares:
Is this performance what i have to expect? I heard that dedicated memory on cellphones for VBO its the RAM, so i wont get that boost on performance.
Thanks in advance!
Regards
