Only game I am having issues with playing is:
The Infinite Black
Anyone else play this game and having low fps? I am getting 36 fps on chat, but when I look at map, I drop to 4 fps.
Rebooted, reinstalled, cleared ram, even tried force gpu in dev.options. everything i could think of doing to make it play better. Even tried chainfire app to lower textures, that i had from my G2X.
Trying to figure out if my phone is screwed or the game. Every other game i play is flawless.

The map does seem rather choppy. At least I assume that was what it was, the colored circles with lines connecting them (I've played this game once, a long time ago.) I downloaded it to check it out, see if it would give me the same issue. Have you tested it on other devices? I just tested it on my Prime (which is outperformed by my S3) and it was relatively smooth. It seems it is just the game.
Using cm10 am getting 35fps. Not sure what the low fps on ics is.
Went back to ics, 4fps.
Not sure why the galaxy on ics is so slow.
Oh well. My fix was jelly bean.

If power-saving is enabled at all on a stock based s3 ICS rom it seems to slow the phone down a lot, especially when swiping through screens.

According to my tests with System Tuner, power saving mode lowers max CPU speed to 1.13ghz.

Latest youtube app can now play HD on our phones, no more need to use Dolphin for HD on youtube.
Videos play smoothly, though I have had a problem with HD needing to buffer a lot even when I am getting 20 Mbps down.
On the bright side HD content looks amazing on the Nitro's screen.
I was Beginning to think it was just my phone acting up on YouTube. The audio was always fine, but the video never was. I hope this update fixes that.

What do you mean by glitchy?

Downloaded the latest one (fresh install), and I agree with both you Kindawack as well as allstar. Yes, the HD videos look magnificent (just saw the avengers trailer n by God it's gorgeous n super sharp), and yes, youtube can run HD videos BETTER now. The reason I say better and that I agree with allstar is because I still see random stuttering in video play. That is wat allstar meant by glitchy. What happens is that the video framerates fall behind the audio playback and eventually 'jumps/speeds up' to catch up to the audio.
Now with the latest youtube app, the glitch is actually at a minimum and happens randomly. Throughout the trailer, it only glitched on me around 4-5 times and I almost barely noticed them. So I agree this version addresses the glitches. Now the rest of the stuttering falls on the phone itself and properly allocating resources to youtube.
EDIT: Nope, forget it, glitch is still there, in full affect. Just saw another HD video, the new Gorillaz video, DoYaThing, and you can tell from 2D's movement that it's there. He will slightly slow down as he moves, and then sprints back to frame.
Oh he meant dropped frames,not that surprising I got them on 480P as well.
And on top of none-smooth playback it rebuffers even on wifi 40mbps connection...I think Google optimizes it's software only for it's flagship phones (Nexus), until it gets HD display we shall not see any improvements on Nitro....My theory

The Galaxy Nexus does have an HD screen.
Hmmm...then I guess it's due to no optimization from LG side? Perhaps the lag we experiencing in the UI is related?
why don't you guys just use opera and flash 11? I use it all the time and get no lag and it works great and fast. Also opera or maxathon are the smoothest browsers for non ics phones right now. There is virtually no lag while scrolling with these 2 browsers.

i dont get any rebuffering issues though. runs smoothly on both wifi or 4G/LTE. Other than drop frames, everything else seems fine.
Certain apps like Bacon reader and Words with Friends have a bit of a stutter when you scroll.
I just noticed this video:

and was wondering if I flash ICS onto my Inc2, will I be able to activate the GPU acceleration and make the stutter go away?

Hopefully but I am not sure if we will have that option in the real ICS.
So I've had my S3 for a couple of months now, and I was just wondering about the performance. I thought the S3 was supposed to be extremely powerful, yet it lags on high end games such as NOVA or Modern Combat. Also when texting, the keyboard will sometimes lag. Does this happen for anyone else, and is there a solution to fix it, such as trying a different ROM or something? I also want to keep a decent battery life.
Set all animations to 0.5x in developers options, force 2d gpu rendering check it. Might help. I've played nova and it didn't lag on me.

Has anyone played Gangstar Vegas on Arc S without lag or other problem ? "Very low" visual quality gives lag free gaming experience,but can't see other people or vehicles.On "Medium" visual quality,the game lags so much... If "Low" is selected,everything goes black.Only the navigation and action buttons are shown.Have anyone faced it? Got any solution to play it well on xperia 2011 line ?

Actually I doubt it will be possible playing Gangstar Vegas on medium settings with our Devices without any lag using any Rom.
Gangstar is damn big and got High Quality Graphics, but we must face the fact that the time will come where our phone will be pushed to the limits and simply has not enough power to run the game...
At least I´m sure that you won´t be able to play it on Good Quality Graphics and witout lag on our phones. :silly:
For best gaming performance I recommend the new Atomic GB 8.0.
Thank you all for your suggestions...But have you tested the game on JB or GB ? And why the "Low" quality graphics is not available for us? I mean everything goes black if low is selected...Only option "Very Low" or 'Medium" are available for us...!!

No, for heavy games and to run them lagfree, are the same settings but with the difference of 1.5 GHz.
edit the file profile.bin in the folder Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftGGHM
like this
5 0 5 3 21
then launch the game,you can get the medium quality
If you want to use your phone for heavy gaming, I recommend you to use a GB based ROM like Atomic GB (best for UI) or XGAMER (best for performance) with a custom kernel like LupusGB or DooMKerneL ! Don't install RAM consuming apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, etc. and keep your phone light ! If it continues to lag, try to overclock your phone (but it can be dangerous !) ! That's all folks !

I don't get this,ok i get that lt18i is a bit faster than lt15i but with overclocking it can get there.
But i tried Ultimate HD and i tried Racing Bean 3.1 but non of these ROM's don't work with heavy games,GTA3 lags,Wild Blood multiplayer unplayable.gangsta rio lags like hell.And my RAM can't get higher than 200 mb and that's in his best days i mean if i have just maybe 10 apps installed.It's stupid to say that ICS/JB is better than GB in gaming,yes it's true ICS/JB looks so perfect and beautiful but now we have GB ROM's that looks like ICS or JB,here i'm using one it's called Atomic GB 8 and i can get 240mb Ram when i stop apps that are running,that's grate,and when i restart my phone and stop apps i can get up to 250-260 mb,and in combo with DooMKernel v22 ICS/JB don't stand a chance,the ROM doesn't look so much like ICS but it's getting there,if you want Jelly Bean look,there is Gin2JellyBean,but didn't try that ROM myself so i don't know what to tell about it.I didn't try this game yet on my Arc lt15i with Atomic GB 8 ROM but i will.I don't have very big hopes for it but hey...
The homescreen is quite noticeably not a smooth 60fps, it stutters and with the overlay enabled in developer settings, can see the framerate drops alot. Especially in freestyle layout mode. Also a lot of games stutter and don't run at a smooth framerate - for example monument valley. Does anyone else get this? Im on stock rom latest update

This is completely dependent on your OS, applications, widgets on screen, running apps, cpu state and the speed you're using your device.. If its really congested and you're running a tonne of apps then you'll perhaps have some slow downs, if you're using a custom kernel and you've lowered the up cpu threshold then that will too have an impact, honestly I'd leave it on stock and minimise the amount of widgets (especially lives ones) you have on your desktops, anything with transparency will have an impact too.
Gaming wise, I have to say this phone is rock solid.
The only game that it couldn't run is dolphin which is a gamecube emulator, running zelda the windwaker.
But I think that's down to optimization rather that anything else.
What set up do you have? Custom rom? Stock? Kernel? Lots or not a lot of apps?
my runs smooth on games, emulators, home screens, videos, taking and recording pictures and video, everything. ive been very happy with its performance, completely stock and running custom roms on my Verizon Variant, viper is my favorite now after last few updates.
I'm also satisfied with my HTC 10 performance, runs smooth (everything stock), but I notice that some games are a bit laggy (like Realracing 3, even if I lower the resolution to FullHD in the Boost+ app).
I wonder if I would get better framerates with the CleanSlate kernel that has Adrenoboost feature, but I'm not to keen on rooting my device because then you can't install OTA updates anymore.
Im running on the stock rom straight from the box, no custom rom or everything
, every game I have tried so far runs awful, massive framerate drops with or without boost. I have compared my framerate in asphalt 8 to this video, with an fps counter, and I get much worse framerates, usually around low 20s, dropping to teens. I don't have powersaving enabled

Anything in HTC's ROM seems to cripple Adrenoboost of the GPU. While on other devices it works perfectly and is reaching up to 60 fps, it doesn't on the HTC 10. It doesn't bother me, as I'm not a heavy gamer, but if you're in need to change it, you could use a custom kernel, as e.g. CleanSlate by @tbalden.

I hope HTC fixes that with some OTA.
Anyway, would the High performance mode in the developer options help the framerate?

As I'm on Viper10, Stock, pnp thermal tweak, or Viper 10 and CleanSlate Kernel. So I can't tell if it would work. The CleanSlate kernel fixes the problem quite well, so I'll use it until HTC maybe fixed the issue as long as I'm gaming and the other config I'll use as my daily driver.

If yes which class, coz i noticed that it can slow the device
I hope htc support team improve the performance and fix the lag issues by updates.
This is an awful bug .May htc solve this in the android 7 update .
Slow SD card like someone else said.
Try it without one.
Maybe your hardware is faulty in some way.
Also try to set all clocks to a constant maximum. So you see if you have the power or not.
Maybe a fake device?
