Just wondering if someone could give me the final word on this as I've done some searches and have heard mixed things. Should this be ticked? Is the number of apps left out there that might malfunction with it enabled so low as to make it worthwhile to keep it on?

And does it really make a difference on a phone that's already so powerful?

Thanks.

I can't say definitively that Force GPU Rendering option on will improve things.

I would say it would but there where be some apps that may crash because of this option

Also if your phone is not on 1.29...then Force GPU Rendering will not stay on (my One X is still on 1.28 and when I tick Force GPU Rendering, when I leave the Developer Options screen the option is unticked)

Any more comments about force gpu rendering? And what about disable hw overlays? Does anyone about this? Someone somewhere said that it improved performance on his HOX.
