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.
S3 stock room, rooted

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.
I pay restaurant story and its so choppy on all ICS that I've try but my So my girl G2x ran it really smooth , I install CM 10 game runs smooth as heck idk what's the deal here but I love my TW

According to my tests with System Tuner, power saving mode lowers max CPU speed to 1.13ghz.
Exactly what is it and how can it benefit my experience with the S3? Will it save me battery life or something?

It's for old apps from like the eclair/froyo era. It forces them to run accelerated.
I cancelled my Netflix account like 3 months ago so I haven't used it since, but this was an App that I personally felt ran like crap on Android compared to iOS. However, enabling GPU rendering made the Netflix App A LOT smoother. Again, this was about 3 months ago. Not sure if there's since been updates to the Netflix App that improves performance without the need to enable Force GPU Rendering. I know Force GPU Rendering didn't play well with some of my Apps. The main one that comes to mind is one of my personal favorites PicSay Pro picture editor.
I was just curious if there is any way to improve the graphics so it looks like the iPhone version? Or the international galaxy s3?
I've downloaded chainfire 3d and tried installing the game with powervr plugin enabled and when I try to run the game, it just crashes.
If there is any mods or editing in order to make the rendering of the game graphics much better, feel free to share
There is no way to do this with the Andreno GPU. Don't waste your time and phone's battery life with such mods.
The best you can do is an overclock with powersave mode OFF.
Well battery life isn't an issue for me but if there is no mods to improve it then guess I'll just stick with it.

What we need is something like pixel/vertex shading or anti-aliasing enabled for our GPUs.
The quality is noticably better on the i9300 and i9305, but still not as iOS (where even the rearview mirrors are reflecting the cars behind you).
I'm just surprised that we can run games like Dead trigger which has insanely great graphics and also by editing some of the text file in the game to activate the "Nvidea" exclusive graphics (ultra setting) with good frames.
I thought there might be some text editing or file editing that will also trigger the same effect for the RR3 but doesn't seem like it
Not all games use the same "engine", so tweaking wont work here.
It could be that the game dev didn't enable them all graphics on non iOS devices.

This is useless on the S3
This is for lower end devices on which low quality is set to default.
What we see is what we get until someone figures out what to tweak in the game files

Hey guys,
I was quite dissatisfied with the way the Note handles games. This was quite apparant in Need for Speed Most Wanted and Asphalt 8 where the anti aliasing was horrible. Changing these settings in Developer Options did the trick for me:
-Disable hardware overlays on
-Force GPU rendering on
-Enable 4x MSAA on
Graphics in NFSMW actually look real crisp now and the stuttering has gone away as well. There's no impact on battery life that I've noticed. Overall animations in the OS have been a tad smoother as well even though that might be a placebo effect haha. :good:
Note: Some of these options might or might not have been turned on already if you're on a custom rom, it's worth checking!
Sorry. Those settings made playing Asphalt7 more difficult on my P605. The controls were less responsive.

i also tried on asphalt 8 and still laggy.Maybe it depends on what rom you have installed.
Asphalt was perfect but then I installed Hyperdrive and it runs like crap now. However, that Rom is so amazing so it's not a big deal.
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.

Can anyone that has no custom rom test the framerate on the first map of asphalt 8 and report back?

Do u use sd card
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?
