What do you consider high end? I myself can confirm zenonia 4 and 5. Nova 1, shadow gun, dead trigger, major mayhem, minecraft with fancy graphics.
 
Defender of texel (not really high end), Temple run 2 at full graphics, plants vs zombies, arcane legends with almost no lag

It might be worth noting though that I don't use the latest kernel, I use the 10-26 build, I feel is more stable

I'm just report games I've confirmed, your can choose wat is "high end"
 
Thank you for your feedback as well. I'LLC continue to update the list. Vector works great. Excellent free running game. Highly recommended download
 
Although I had to delete almost everything on my SD card for the data, I can confirm MC2 and MC3 rum flawlessly. Also most ROMs on n64oid (and other n64 emulators) run very smoothly.
As well as some earlier PSX ROMs.
 
Which ones.

Edit: Well I edited my build.prop to be a different phone so almost all apps show up in the Play Store, and I have already bought MC2 and MC3. But as for the emulators, those got banned from the play store (or something like that) so I had too install it with apk's.
 
I've tried running Temple Run 2 and for me it's very laggy and almost unplayable. This is with giantpune's kernal at 1.6ghz, Interactive governor, noop I/O and Sleipnir 2.4.01.

Vector works with some slowdown as well. Once in a while it runs full speed, but more often it just lags badly. I don't know why, but in my experience, my Elite W has always had issues running "graphic intensive" games, about the only things that are playable on it are Ruzzle, Super Stick Golf, and anything that doesn't require high graphics. Anything else the lag is just awful.

That's weird, I can play temple run 2 with zero issues.

Sword and sworcery and world of goo I can now confirm
 
The only game I've tried that gave me any lag issues was Wind Up Knight.

Eternal Legacy worked fine with no lag.

My girlfriend and I both are able to play Temple Run 2 at 1.4GHz without lag. And I can play Vector just fine (usually) - it's only for some levels where it needs to be turned down to Medium quality, then it's flawless.
 
Now I'm confused. I can play Temple Run 2, but it definitely stutters and sometimes it won't respond to my touch so I end up running into obstacles, that's what makes it unplayable. Same with Vector. The phone always seems to bog down when it needs to process touch input.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? My phone might be defective, but I saw lag to a lesser extent on my friend's Elite Black running stock ROM with giantpune's kernel.

It sounds like a lot is wrong with the OEWs as opposed to the OEBs, but yep, neither is the case for my girlfriend and I. What's the governor you have set for CPU control? smartassV2 and Performance should afford you with the best speed.

Wind Up Knight doesn't seem to run well on many many phones. You wouldn't think so, but it's processor labor intense. Being a game programmer myself, the developer probably could have fixed this issue by making any object outside of the view to disappear and only reappear when the person playing the game actually sees it.

Ah so basically all objects are constantly being rendered and used regardless if they are visible or not?

Oddly enough, with Performance governor and a 1.4ghz max (768 mhz min), the phone always reboots trying to start Temple Run 2. I guess I just a got a dud of a phone. May not be too far away before I upgrade given my Elite's quirks, probably will wait until the full LTE roll out.

I'm running interactive governor, 1.2 max 248 min and have no issues. If you had your phone for a while maybe it's just it's time?

Yep, you're exactly right. This is what is happening as far as I can tell.

Muffin knight and forever drive also work nicely with overclocking.

The phone is only 3 months old. I knew it had some quirks (or possible defects), but didn't want to risk activating another Elite and running into data problems since I did not run into any problems activating the current Elite I have with the grandfathered plan. I can live without intensive gaming, that's what my tablet is for. :D
 
Dead Space works fine. Also the PC game StarCraft works well. I kid you not. The app "Winulator" lets you emulate it (StarCraft needs windows 95 or later). Its addicting...
