Overclocking the GPU - Droid 2 General

I know most of us have overclocked or undervolted CPUs but can the GPU be overclocked to get higher frame rates?

Nice question, I want to know that too ...

Post your Glitch v14 live OC and step values

Now that we have a new way to overclock in v14 there are near unlimited variables to overclocking with this kernel. I've found a good balance of performance with 1300ghz step and live OC value of 121%. Let us know what has worked for you. You may include voltages as well.
I'm using reborn90's settings
200-1000; 110% live oc arm volt; 800/950/1100/1175 int volt; 1000/1000/1000/1025
Seems rather steady, I also recommend turning save on boot in settings of nstools before applying these settings just in case xD

I am on 100-1300 with 116% Live OC, haven't played with voltage yet but everything runs great.
I can't seem to get any live OC percentage stable and anything around 118% + automatically freezes and reboots.any suggestions?

Do you UV first then live oc? Or is it just stock voltages?

For the most part I just use stock voltages when playing around with live OC because I haven't found any voltages in threads that i'm sure are stable.

it depends on how far you phone can go, some can oc more then others but some less then others, I usually never go passed 1.2ghz ,I'd rather save battery.

Just my opinion, but since Android 4.0 relies so heavily on the hardware rendering capabilities of the phone you'd be better off to UNDERCLOCK the CPU to 800mHz, and apply the Live OC to say 125% and have an effective CPU speed of 1000mHz while increasing the GPU clock by the same amount. I've tried it and it works very well but I didn't stick with it long enough to see how it affected battery life. You will need to modify your voltages though. I was at 1250mV on the 800mHz step.
If anyone is interested in just using stock settings, i found this thread interesting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424064
100-800 mhz, 125% live oc.
So how much of a change have you noticed from Stock kernel to Glitch. I tried OCing once.. and it froze.. and phone died.. and ended up having to wipe / re-flash. Probably user error though
Just wanted to say I accidentally OC'd to 1.4ghz with 110% LOC and man did this thing fly and didn't even crash.

I noticed I'm able to achieve higher stable oc (over 1500) using low leakage voltage and live oc of 116 or less. Without low leakage i can barely acheive 1400 oc at anything over 110 live oc. Never noticed this much difference in internal voltage stability in previous kernel version. I wonder what's changed?

-0.25mv / 1500Mhz gives more quadranet vs stock 1400 mhz and stock voltage

-0.25mv / 1500Mhz gives more quadranet vs stock 1400 mhz and stock voltage
how healthy to keep it this way? any risk go up to 1600Mhz?
on last Omega JB rom i went from 4000 to 5130 in quadrant using this OC.
Thanks!
Of course higher clocks gives vigher benchmarks. Uv doesn't affect unless you uv to the point that voltage can't keep cpu stable.

The question: 1500-1600 levels risky to CPU ?
UV lower is good to keep temp lower...
From my experience, undervolting offers no benefits at all. Temperature remains the same and battery seems to be worse when idling.
with no overclocking and with stock 4.1.1 li7 i have 6300 scores in Quadrant..... with overclocking to 1600 mhz i reached 6700... no sense to overclock it

Which rom you use ?
+1
Learning time!
-UV provides stability, its not to save battery. Its such a miniscule amount of volatge it wont mess up battery life, but it will help stability of the CPU...
-And when you OC, you need to undertand that it doesnt stay at the max speed on all four cores all the time. It changes to fit the needs of the user.
I think the CPU can reach 2.0GHz easily, i mean my single core Captivate with a Hummingbird 1.0GHz ARM cortex-A8 could reach 1.92GHz and stay stable with -50mV UV.

oc defy to 2G

Hello,I oc my phone to 2Ghz,but its very slow.
I dont know why it is slow?
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
yes OMAP 3630 are found to be stable at 1300mhz , but not more than that ,,
btw , for how much time u were able to get it working on 2ghz , without actually getting any kind of hotboot or freeze ??
I only set frequent and voltage in bootmenu.
My rom is lastest cm10.(20121205)
300hz 20v
600hz 34v
800hz 46v
2000hz 86v
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
There are hundreds of reasons that could cause a slowdown. You have to be more specific. Other than that, it's very risky to set the CPU clock to 2ghz on a device that's meant to work at 800mhz. This means that you could cause the slowdown by setting the cpu clock to 2ghz.
Sometimes I see posts an just think: This person is that sort of man, who rotates the square in tetris....
2 GHz? What are you smoking?
I can max out oc to 1.4GHz, but after that it slows down.
At 2Ghz you need at least 102mv. Btw, can we somehow oc GPU?

That's not too advisable yet... custom kernel not stable enough...
And the BL is still locked, so GPU OC is more trouble than it's worth...
Dude.... Don't be sooo evil on the cpu.... U are only gonna fry it... And lose ur phone permanently... Bring it down to 1300...above that.. Don't expect any help for any mess ups...

High OC kernel?

Hello
my nexus 7 is a bit laggy on games
dead trigger is a little laggy on high settings and ultra high is quite laggy too
my GPU is at 512mhz
and cpu and 1600mhz
is there any kernel with higher OC to 4.2.2?
M-kernel has the capability to oc to 1.7 GHz. But why do you need that then? It'll need a high voltage bump to oc to 1.7 GHz and might get overheating.

don't think of oc like a thing who delete the games lags.most games lags due to the non-optimized compiling of it,like some gameloft games,there isn't any differences at 1.7 or 1.9 playing games.do a bit of gpu oc and you are good,but repeat you can't delete the lags.the best thing it's the fact of using tegra3 optimized games,they works a little best than others

[Q] Underclocking for root users Questions and thoughts

Ive been getting smoother results underclocking the G2 at either 1.7 or 1.9 and knock on seems more quick to response, but when I tried video recording the 60 fps isn't smooth when you are clocked at the regular speed.. beware...I ran a benchmark on quadrant standard and got 17,250 constantly so it is underclocked per core... I want to hear your opinion on this and do you plan to underclock or already are. I feel like the ability to be more smooth within the UI helps a lot more now..let me know your thoughts!

From using trickster mod and setcpu to underclock they only underclock cpu0 the other three still use the full frequency range.

No frills CPU control :0
At 1.9 my Antutu was the same add the One and oddly the graphics test dropped 15-20 frames even though we are not under clocking the GPU.

That's really odd tbh o.o did you try quadrent as well? :0

You're saying that by underclocking, you're getting a smoother UI but lower benchmarks?
No i got a higher benchmark than the guy who replied on my post. I did get a smoother UI and everything is less laggy. Ill post a pic of 2.3ghz idk if its actually at 1.7ghz or 2.3ghz ill do another test

All this is true. Just tried. It might be a TINY bit slower ui THOUGH

I am using the app called No-frills CPU Control and for 1.7ghz I am using row and Ondemand as the I/O governor and same settings for the regular clock as well..

Underclocked at 1.7ghz first then regular clock at 2.27ghz

I am tending to believe that the regular clock speed is actually overclocked...just like how the galaxy s4 is overclocked 200mhz more than normal...however I could be wrong..
If you really want to see if this odd issue is actually happening download an app called Multicore CPU Control (the only app of its kind that seems to work with the LG G2). I use this to save battery by turning off all but one core, but it allows you full control over all your cores.
Download it, create a profile, and set each core to what you want. I had to save the profile first, then go back in to edit the latter 3 cores' frequencies.
I would suggest setting the min and max to the same and choosing Performance for the governor. Use a different app to set the scheduler.
Be sure to have something like Kernel Tuner to ensure that all your cores are running as you intended. If not, go back into Multicore CPU Control and re-save your profile again.
Would love to hear the results afterwards!
I used Multicore CPU Control.
The only way to set clock to CPU 1,2,3 is let them always active. If I leave dynamic for these cores, they still go up to 2,26 GHZ. I think this the reason why HeXaLox have a little decrement when underclock because it only did for one core.
