[Q] T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 Gaming Performance???

---

Hey guys I'm a loyal T-Mobile USA user and decided to purchase the international version of the GS3 instead of our very own S4 edition due to the powerful Mali GPU. Since gaming is very important to me, I was wondering how the Adreno 225 performed when running games like Nova 3, Real Soccer 2012, Modern Combat 3, Mass Effect, etc.... Can anyone tell me if they notice any lag at all? What about 1080p flash content in the browser, YouTube? Let me know guys thanks!!!

hows internet speed :P lol

MC3 - says not compatible, get refund (as do most other gameloft games)
Mass Effect - Crashes after headphone screen or during intro video
Real Racing 2 - Crashes after intro video with an error about not being able to load an mp3

So far it works great no lag

I think its not compatible yet as the phone just came out...new phones do that all the time.

I might also add that I tried the above games:

On Stock ROM PRE-Root
On Stock ROM Rooted
On Stock ROM Rooted with Bloat removed

All give the same results, I thought it was possibly due to either the root or bloat, but doesnt appear to be the case

Also, noticed that when I restored my nandroid, while the checksum matched, and the restore completed

A LOT of my settings were lost and some apps refused to run at all...so not sure what happened there....even tried clearing cache / dalvik and fixing perms
