A controller for your phone's GPU

Chainfire3D, also known as CF3D, is an app that operates as a sort of middleman for OpenGL drivers. That means that it controls the information flow between applications and our device's graphics drivers, intercepting and exchanging the commands and instructions that they send each other.

Improve the performance of your video games reducing their graphical requirements

Its features are aimed at reducing the size of the textures and image quality to decrease memory usage and increase the performance of applications that are very demanding in terms of graphics. As you can imagine, this tool is especially indicated for games.

However, it has quite a few problems: this app is only compatible with rooted devices. On the other hand, it's only compatible with Android Froyo and Gingerbread (Android 2.1) and above, as well as requiring a processor of at least 1 GHz.

Requirements and additional information:

• Requires a rooted device.

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 2.1.
• The installation of the app by means of the APK file requires the activation of the "Unknown sources" option within Settings>Applications.
