If I don't play a lot of games, what would be the advantage to using the one with the OC GPU versus the normal one?

I would go for the non 512 versions.
Trinity-NP-Inferno is what I would run if I had a Nexus Prime (aka Gnex)

Holy crap 512mhz! Im gonna do it! you wreaked on the vibrant
You should look at the source for glados (its on rootzwiki) it has an awesome liveoc function that I'm sure you could get on this kernel
Just a suggestion

You forget where glados came from (ezekeel, ogdobber, francisco, we all worked on nexus s together the past couple months)
I just tend to keep variables small while there is so much to be done.
Allows me to focus on the area worked on and not wonder what patch may have brought on the issue at hand.
So it'll come down the road.
More things will come with more feedback

Using the inferno kernel. Antutu scores are lower than ever (like 4400), but I've basically learned to ignore it, because all I get on every rom and kernel are whack ass random results on Antutu.
On the plus side, nenamark2 bumped up from my previous max of 27.7 fps to 31.1. It is actually the first time I've seen a variation in the fps at all, from stock to other overclock kernels.
Sometimes backgrounded apps force close, but I haven't screwed with voltages yet, just running 1350/interactive so far.

I'm impressed. I've been running it for 40 minutes and it's my new favorite kernel. Running the 512mhz GPU version, I get 60FPS in n64oid. If I put it in powersave, the battery won't budge.
just flashed 512 version, can not wait to try this out for a day or two!!!
Checking out the 512 version. I wonder how much stress this causes the GPU? I imagine long sustained use of it at 512 could cause permanent damage to it? I have no idea, just wondering. Meh, who cares.... I get a new phone every 6 months.
Thanks morfic loved ya ever since the great old vibrant days and now look at you a million and a half codes later!

That is true. With new governors like Brazilian wax and wheatley in mason kernel you have even more options for speed vs battery life. This setup of Mason+reloaded+vipermod is gonna get u the best bettery life and performance. I've flashed almost everything and highly doubt it'll get better.
You can get good battery life gaming on your EVO. You pretty much have only two options to choose from:
1. AOSP rom and use wheatly governor
2. Senseless 1.0 rom (Alter is the best) underworld kernel
Don't forget to use chainfire3D app, and try not to overclock unless you need the performance boost.
Just in case anyone was wondering I tried out all the sugestions . But be live it or not team dirts cm9 ran games the best. I was running gta 3 on medium setting smoothly.

Hello, I'm dumping my most amazing phone ever (Dinc) that I've had since the day it came out because Verizon are greedy *******s, and I just ordered a Gnex GSM from the Google Play Store.
When it arrives, I was wondering what I can expect to achieve via an Overclock and have the system still perform rock solid.
Thanks!
subjective. different for everyone and depends on temp, usage, stability of app youre running etc etc. just bump 5% at a time until you crash then drop it down one notch
You also need to disable smart reflex to hit the higher clock speeds without random freezes or crashes. I am running the trinity kernel at 1520 MHz stable with mpu smart reflex disabled.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i can't provide any input on overclocking because this phone performs so well without it that i haven't found a need to. plus, the battery life is bad enough.

really, its different for every phone. I run 1.804ghz(trinity) stable after a little voltage adjustment. and you would have to turn off smart reflex for that. you will have t read up about smart reflex.
As said above it varies. Fastest I ran that was stable (at least for me) was 1.9 GHz (Franco Kernel) but there wasn't much benefit. I'm currently on Trinity at 1.4 GHz. Trinity on 1.7 GHz crashes for me.

Out of interest for you guys on 1.8/1.9Ghz, what do you have yours so high for? Games? Just interested as I actually have mine UNDERCLOCKED to 1096 and have no 'real world' use for anymore. Mind you, I'm not a big gamer so I wouldn't know how the nexus really handles 3d gaming.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
With Trinity kernel for JB, I'd guess that 1420MHz CPU / 384MHz GPU would be stable for most phones, and it gives you a good little boost in benchmarks, fwiw. That's about the highest you can run without having to remember to tweak other values. And you can knock it down to 1036 or 1190 MHz if you need to save battery. My phone tests ok with the 15xx/5xx MHz kernel, but there isn't much additional oomph in the benchmarks, so I just use the 1420. Also don't want to abuse my phone too much.
Well the faster CPU helps with n64 emulation some games need a bit more omph to play smooth

Gnex overclock
I have overclocked my Gnex to 1.6 with the glados kernel and using the glados control app it's very stable. I tried 1.8 but crashes but I would highly recommend glados very stable at 1.6 and runs a quadrant score in the 2800's

Congrats on dumping Verizon. They are the worst. I am happy to be rid of them. Trinity 1344 and Franco Milestone 5 have been the most stable for me. I currently am running Franco Milestone 5 at 1536, it's fast and stable. You gotta remember too that this phone is running Jelly Bean and a dual core which will be faster than your Dinc anyways.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
You have to see the battery issue as well, if not to its will end quickly! In my opinion, use it in Stock is enough. But sometimes I get to put on 1.4Ghz CPU, and I reduce the voltages using the app franco kernel.
I was running Franco milestone 5 at 1536 nice and stable. I think I'm going to drop it back to stock-ish speeds and undervolt it a bit to save battery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Thanks for all the input everyone.
I guess my last question now would be, if I root and keep the Stock ROM, has anyone experimented overclocking the stock kernel?
And if I decided to install CWM, and keep the stock ROM, would Trinity or Franco work on that? Or would I have to install something like CM10 or AOKP to use those other Kernels.
I would rather just like to stay stock without CWM and overclock the stock kernel.
Every N7 2013 Cyagenmod thread I see has nothing but bug reports in them seeing the quadrant benchmarks with them though is VERY attractive, since it blows the doors off everything else.
Is there any current CM build that is reliable and bug free enough to use without issues?
Only bug I've had with the official CM 4.3 ROM is occasional random reboots. Other than that it's perfect.

Its more than just benchmarks though, ui customization is on a greater level than what I have experienced thus far with xposed framework and x theme engine or even with cydia substrate and winterboard, The ui and multitasking are lag free, web browsing has no touchscreen hiccups, and gaming is also smoother on cm 10.2. I'm using unofficial (09/05) nightly build with the elementalx kernel 1.3 and am loving it.

I haven't read of any CM 10.2 based rom that suffers huge bugs. They're actually really stable considering the short time 4.3 has been out. I've been using Kang for a while, and everything works beautifully
Maybe its time to give kang a shot then. Thanks for the input guys. Like everything, you see more posts from people with issues, than from people who are not having issues.
I was considering using Jassy's R5 kernel.. is there another that's more feature rich?

Faux perhaps, has its own app as well.
I have faux, but rolled back to stock after some lockup issues a few weeks ago. Cleanrom just doesn't have the same performance at CM does.
I like cleanroom better than stock, but I've always liked CM on my galaxy s3.

U mean like antutu score?
The scores I've seen that are ungodly high are quadrant scores. Granted, you have to take scores with a grain of salt, but when I see a jump of 15,000 on a different rom score, I have to believe I'll see real world performance boosts.

I'll have to hunt it down. I'm following several rom/kernel threads.
Same here I'm also looking for one that stable and doesn't have issues right now I'm running CM Kang with elemental x and it seems good.
I just downloaded kang, and was looking at elemental x as well, since jassy hasn't updated for quite some time now.
Latest CM kang nightly is running great for me! 9/8 is the current. I'm just using the standard kernel for now but might try elemental again.

I'm rocking kang and elemental x 1.3, and am getting better performance than a galaxy s3, or the htc one.
I am seeing some wonky wifi connectivity though that I didn't see on cleanrom.
Yesterday i downloaded hearthstone on my galaxy nexus and launched it. It loads with a bit of lag, then in menu its alright, but when i start a match, it goes black and shuts down instantly. I read on reddit that someone made hearthstone playable on htc desire hd, which has even lower specs than gnex. So what are the options to make it playable ? I dont know about any performance boosting for android, but i read about stuff like v6 supercharger, but i dont know if its the right thing for game boosting.

Change your ROM to FML 5.0 or CM12. They have higher GPU frequency (512 MHz instead of the earlier 384 MHz). This should improve your gaming performance considerably

Isn't the GPU overlocking configuration possible on Kitkat roms as well? I remember Franco Kernel and Dirty V having that option. As far as I know, L roms are not prerequisites to over-clocking the GPU.
If Franco and Dirty V can do that you should implement those kernels on your device.. If you implement Dirty V kernel don't forget to apply Nephilim's settings.. As they will make your device fly... ??
