SGS3 verizon gaming performance - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Did anyone play 3d games like frontline commando? I need to know if it is just me, I have slow performance issues on this game sometimes. YES it depends on the amount of enemies, but even so it baffles me to see it go visibly sluggish as I play. I dislike playing it less than 60 fps, and though I can believe it won't reach that all the time, I want to know if it is true that it can't play in a consistent 60 fps.

Gonna try will let you know in a bit

Are you on the stock ROM? Lots of apps running in the background?
So far every game I've run as been very smooth

Thanks for your finds guys, I'm glad to find out that it does play very smooth. I am at stock rom on the verizon sgs3, I was going to jump the bandwagon of the international sgs3 owners, since its gpu is better. But I was wondering if adreno 225 gpu can hold itself for games like frontlinecommando, it has to be 60 fps all the time. SO you guys aren't running stock? Or have a lot of apps running in the background? I had it with many apps running, took all off except that game and it did improve the performance, but it still did go a bit laggy sometimes.

What are the best games out for the s3 graphics wise?

Batman,mc3, mass effect, shadowgun,asphalt 7.dead trigger.those games are great graphics, no lag, I'm on Verizon stock.

Quadrant Benchmark

I got a score of 1542 on stock. My friends Epic 4G got a 2500. Do these scores even matter? Or do we just need to wait for custom rooms to see the true potential?

It's something to do with our dual core processor. The sensation was the same way with quad scores. And really quad scores are pretty useless.

Could it be due to the asynchronous core design?

Yea I was like there is no WAY his phone is faster. This 4G Slide is so fast its unreal. I'm coming from a G1 after 3 years and the difference is just so incredible. I love everything about it. Sense is cool but its getting annoying!

I got 2400+ on doubleshot, and 2400+ on senseless, as well as 2300+ on Bulletproof
BTW , I ran SETCPU app and set it to performance which means CPU run at top speed and don't fall down below 1188 Mhz all the time...
otherwise the scores are always different.
My Score Went Down

I installed ROM Manager but it didn't want to do anything because it wants Clockwork Recovery and I have Revolutionary. So I didnt' take any chances.
I just did it again and came up with 1653.
Why doesn't it come up the same? More apps running in the background?
I just killed everything in memory, except for Quadrant and I just got 2030.
Just ran it again and got 2042.
Could it have something to do with cache?
I'm consistently getting 40 frames up the stairs, 60 out in space and 30 watching the DNA. (the graphics test).
Compared to my stock G2 (812 mhz) this is good. Without my CM7, I don't have a clock speeder upper and I haven't broken down and got Set CPU.
Just my $.02

One last thing. When I have shut down my ADW EX, the G2 used to take a long time to reset. It starts up within a few seconds now.

WELL , graph score usually runs good. the key point is the cpu and I/O score , I guess this Benchmark doesn't support our dual core very well.
I used antutu and got a 4250 using set cpu. Have not tried quadrant yet

UPDATE : RUNNING VIRTUOUS rom and got a 2610 after several tests (only delete APPs that I don't want and NOT using SetCPU)
and as well as antutu, 4437 is the highest while my sdcard only get 31 for write and 103 for read
so I have to say VIRTUOUS is amazing...

Best setup for gaming?

I'm currently running on Sky-ICS and noticed some games are lagging, such as Modern Combat 3. I've been trying to play with the sixaxis controller but its so laggy its unplayable. I'm looking to get the best gaming experience overall out of my phone, does anyone have any tips/advice. I was thinking of over-clocking but I'm not sure how effective it is. Any input would be appreciated.
Go aosp, tw is bloated, cm9 wit an over clock kernel should do ya

Have you tried chain fire 3d app ? Its in play store
SkyICS Dragon base is a lightning-quick ROM, and the Cymbaline kernel makes up in performance what it lacks in battery life. I'd wager that combination is as good of one as you'll find for gaming.

This is good ^^^
Or u can run any cm9 rom with instigatorx kernel version 5.4.5 and use smart ass governor. Over clock to 1.8, and with the included gpu over clock at kernel level, ur golden
CM9 + 1.7 GHz OC + chain fire
Battery will suck but you can play games very well and don't forget to download the addons in chain fire because that's what makes them work extra good. Also check for game specific configuration files, I know games like GTA have them where you can squeeze just a tad more performance out.

Phone freezes on games

Ive upgraded to the S3 gave my son my ns4g. He plays games on it and it keeps freezing up. Running rasbean. With matrix. Tried CM10 stable too.
Any suggestions on a rom and kernel?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It is subjective to the game you (your son) are trying to play. Apart from that, check the CPU frequencies and use a bit of overclocked frequency. Also, try to shift the Governor
He played them on his evo4g I guess ill switch it back to that.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
try jellyshot rom with marmite kernel.you probably won't have any issues for games destinated for nexus s.i play gameloft games with severe demands and have no lags or forced closures.
Like others said previously, a little overclock can go a long way. Just be careful not to overdo it!

Crossbreeder

curious to see if anyone has tried installing this:

Well, decided to just jump in and I can confirm installation running Tweaked 3.2 and latest (1/9?) Lazarus kernal. It actually booted faster than normal considering it says it clears Dalvik and settled into smooth GoLauncher scrolling right away. So I'd have to say so far so good.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
Several hours later and - objectively speaking - Crossbreader has made an actual difference in performance. The real test for me is will that still be the case in a few / several days.

I am curious to know if this will work on eclipse?
In theory this should be independent of rom
Also in theory that entropy stuff is snake oil.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I don't know about the entropy stuff though I've seen it discussed before and understand it probably does nothing but whatever Crossbreeder did to my phone has helped in the app switching department. Specifically pulling up the stock dialer and Handcent which often would lag for 5(?) seconds or more was a problem that is dramatically reduced. I have also been running v6 and semi-frequent vacuuming prior to Crossbreeder but those have been only somewhat noticeable on my phone - so CB might likely be standing on the shoulders of those scripts but this has, so far, been the best thing to happen to my phone since Tweaked came out.

update to this:
installed CB, and the charge seems better than ever! I also reverted back to tweaked 3.2 (FP5). battery life is noticeably improved & lag is almost gone.
I highly recommend this!

Yesterday I downloaded Gameloft's Latest Asphalt (Asphalt 8: Airborne) :highfive:
Its a great game I'll admit but I hated the lil lag it has from time to time. I would like this thread to be all about the little tweaks that you know that give your Galaxy S Infuse the extra BOOST also, add the current ROM you're on. As for me I'm on the latest CM10.2 you can find HERE

Didn't think it was a Galaxy...
Anyways, I just overclock to 1600MHz and set the governor to performance. Although there is still lag so i prefer to play games on my Nexus 7 instead.

Been testing a few Games on my phone since yesterday.
Asphalt 8: Was lagging on the London and Tokyo course. I Froze unused apps and it ran like a charm, small lags on those courses, other courses run perfectly.
AVP Evolution: Runs perfectly with highest quality graphic setting.
Blood And Glory: Runs Perfectly... Enough said.
Conduit HD: Runs at great fps, no lag but sometimes enemy body parts appear transparent.
Death Dome: Lags alot in the game menu, actual gameplay is very great with no lag.
EPOCH: Short test but runs perfectly.
RavenSword: Runs great with minimal lag every now and then, 100% playable
Skiing Fred: Usually lags but after i froze some apps it runs smoothly (zero lag) with highest graphic quality.
FIFA 2014: Runs perfectly smooth, no lag!
My Thoughts: I think the major downfall of the infuse is the low ram (500MB) freezing some apps that would usually be running in the background gives the phone a real boost.
MY APPS AND SETTINGS
App Quarantine: uses this batch freezes apps it with a easy to use interface and it has a free version (which i use)
Phone Performance Menu:
Processor
Cpu minimum freq: 400mhz
Cpu maximum freq: 1600mhz
Governor: INTERACTIVE (haven't tried the others)
I/O Scheduler: BFQ(haven't tried the others)
Memory Management
Allow purging of assets: checked
Kernel samepage merging: checked
I've heard people giving seeder good reviews, you can add that to your apps, haven't tried it on the infuse yet tho.

Hey guys! I'm new to the infuse4g section of the forums since i just got by infuse 3 days ago, rooted it asap, and now running Beanstalk ROM. I was quite a gamer on my old phone Motorola Atrix4g (wildblood, Aralon sword and shadow, gta vc, nfs ms, etc) but when i switched to infuse, the performance and battery were significantly noticeable. I got Ravenswood Shadowlands earlier and it crashed within a minute of playing. Trust me it's a great game. Now to get to the point, i figured it's due to the RAM that the game crashes. Found a solution too. RAM Expander pro app which converts and uses empty part of your SD as RAM. You can set the value you want it to use. And since i've just barely used 5Gbs of my SD memory, i have 10Gb free. I let the app convert or SWAP 1500Mb (perhaps a lil much) and the game was running as smooth as Elvis Presley's hair. Lol. So for all you gamers out there who are are as crazy gamers on android as you are on xbox or pc, i recommend game cih, game killer, gameguardian for hax, and most importantly RAM Expander to play your games without lag or crashes.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do SWAP with an EXTERNAL storage. The RAM Expander app has been criticized for ruining the INTERNAL memory. It's best and safest to use an external memory for it is easier to replace incase of corruption.

Swapping ram on external is too slow, except you're using sdcard class 10. Lower than that class? Sorry, not enough for extreme gaming. Swap ram on external will give bad impact to your sdcard. Using your internal is more fast and safely. Its not my opinion, it is fact. For other trick, you can use your /data /cache and /system for swap ram. That's method doesn't give any disadvantage. Searching about "Turbo Boost" on xda, developed by harbir.
Dont use ram expander for swapping. It may would brick your phone. Many of user that bricked their phone with ram expander. Just info.
