God of War and Dissidia Final Fantasy runs abysmal on my phone at like 3fps. Seeing the official topics seems like it should run well. tried all sorts of settings from the defaults to your guide.

Is it a known problem for the Nexus 4?

Expect low performance on ANY mobile device for God of War. Performance of that game has actually decreased over the last few hundred revisions or so, thanks to the increase in emulation accuracy for that specific game. (additonal graphical effects are being correctly rendered etc.) Even lower end PCs like my test rig struggle in that game and require some tricks to get to run semi decently.

My advice to you is to have both the "Prevent FPS from exceeding 60" option and the "Change CPU Clock" option enabled; the latter should be set to as low as 60 - 80 MHz for maximum gains. If performance is still horrendous, I'm afraid that's as far it goes for your device, at least with the current state of the emulator/device drivers.

Dissidia on the other hand should run a lot better. I'm puzzled as to why it runs horribly on your device. Try changing Rendering Mode to Non Buffered Rendering for that game.
