Why would you do that?

I was a little nervous because my Galaxy S III is running a custom firmware, and in Epic Citadel, I got lower frames than those running stock.
While 3DMark said I did a little worse in graphics (5321 with an average of 5728... it actually counted them as equal), I did better in physics (4304 with an average 3819).
My full stats in normal Ice Storm:
System: Galaxy S III T999 (Qualcomm dual core, not Exynos quad core)
OS: CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly (Jellybean 4.2.2)
My Scores (parenthesis is the device average score)
Ice Storm: 5056 (5021)
Graphics: 5321 (5708)
Physics: 4304 (3819)
Graphics Test 1 FPS: 24.9 (26.3)
Graphics Test 2 FPS: 21.6 (23.5)
Physics Test FPS: 13.7 (12.1)

I'm guessing the S4 would top the Nexus 4 by 10-15%, or thereabouts.

System: Galaxy S III AT&T
OS: LiquidSmooth JB V2.1 Stable
My Scores (parenthesis is the device average score)
Ice Storm: 5273
Graphics: 5255
Physics: 5336
Graphics Test 1 FPS: 24.4 (26.3)
Graphics Test 2 FPS: 21.5 (23.5)
Physics Test FPS: 16.9 (12.1)
I feel pretty good about mine.
It still lags playing Gameloft games, though.
You guys know anything to stop that? Thanks!

Why would you do that?

Your device has the same guts as mine but you have a much higher physics score. Maybe I should consider switching to LiquidSmooth...
(though to be fair, I had a lot of background stuff running, and since physics is on the CPU based, it probably was impacted by my background processes.)

Overclocking the phone SoCs has a lot more limitations than OCing PC GPUs and CPUs, unfortunately. Cooling isn't even the limiting factor most of the time when OCing these things.

Not bad for a budget device I guess:
Nexus 4
nexus 4 should be the highest performer out there period.
adreno 320 at 720p.

The Everyman
at 1080p? maybe not. this test takes into account resolution right?
Why would you do that?

It renders 720p on every device (1080p for the extreme test) to make it even across platforms.

ah, the s4 will be probably be the new champ then.
From the Anandtech article. ^
Edit - Sorry, missed the posts above.
It's funny that the "budget" device is outperforming phones that cost 2-3x more. Heh.

Damn, I didn't realize that Nexus 4 was that much of a beast. Too bad my upgrade isn't until October.

I know, me neither. I still don't regret getting the S III over it (need that SD card slot!) but I know now that I wouldn't have been disappointed at all with it.
I thought about trying it on this after overclocking it, but I decided I don't want my tablet to catch fire.
Surprisingly not bad, though.
