Hey guys, I was wondering if it is possible to overclock the gpu. And if it is, would it really make a noticeable difference?

yes its possible, assuming you know what your doing with the kernel. and in my experience, not much. depends on the difference you are looking and what you conciser making a difference, bench scores? game performance? i wouldn't worry about it to much. </opinion>
I like to play games on n64oid. Great app but I feel like my heavily overclocked cpu alone can't handle the more graphically intense games like zelda. I just want to see a little less lag.

I've used a certain rom that had GPU overclock to 400. I noticed no difference. I wouldn't bother IMHO.

Hello guys,
I recently purchased a game called Dungeon Defenders which is based on unreal3 engine. Sadly, it is kinda choppy on Evo.
I am running CM 6.1.2 with cm6-snap-v7.5-havs925 kernel.
Does anybody tried the DD on 2.3 ROM?
i am just wondering if the update will make the game less laggy.
I just played it for a bit on 2.3, and it seemed smoother. Now this could totally be my imagination, but before, when there were a number of baddies on the screen, I would get bad lag, but I didn't notice it on 2.3. There might still be some slight lag, but it seemed much better. If I get a chance to play for a more extended time, I'll report back.

Do you have turbo mode on? Since u have the snap kernel, I'm curious to see if it makes a difference in that game.

I would also love to know weather turbo has an affect on gaming.
noob question but what is turbo mode? and how can i get it

It shouldn't. Doesn't effect the GPU. So far there's nothing that can upclock the GPU. Probably the closest thing to improcing the GPU is implementing the new 2.3.3 Nexus One GPU drivers but I don't think that Google/HTC has released the source yet.

Its part of snap kernel. I wouldn't bother though - its just some modifications that mostly trick quadrant into benching higher. Actual real use performance will be the same.

Why even at 784 overclocking it lag on stok rom .while work smooth on galaxy fit at 600 mhz

I have CM 7 beta 6.4 From Mik, Francos Kernel v15, overclocked at 768 and in some levels i have lags too. Or for a few second on the begening in some level. Quadrant test about 1300, linpack about 9 MFLOPS, Neocore about 57 FPS.

Probably because of lower resolution
It is not resoution as galaxy fit has only 240-320 resolution.i think lg is not make good rom for this use poor quality hardware

My angry birds is pretty smooth after I give it like 2 seconds to load. You should get off the stock Rom and flash like cm 7. It's so much better.

Thats exactly what he means... it lags on Lg O1 because it has a higher resolution and doesn't lag on Galaxy Fit as it has a lower resolution, higher resolution means more processing power required... is what he is trying to say..
But cm7 rom was camara fm bug and other so i want to loose them and also eat battery

Nov in CM 7 Camera works fine and with Francos Kernel it eat 1% battery per night
try chainfire3D
Have you tried to enable jit and hw acceleration?
They improved a lot the performance in my O1.

Its a kind of graphics driver for android. It supposedly allows us to play nvidia tegra optimized games. Apparently I don't think it world for our phone.
Somebody confirm this.

Its reported to work on our device even though we don't have the required 1GHZ Proces.
Haha really? I guess I tried it a few times with some thd games with no successes. and I can only confirm that chainfire does work on our phone because it allows us to change the texture size etc. Other than that, I doubt that the nvidia, qualcomm or powerv plugins actually work.

tried on devoid.franco,but got kernel panics
I had lots of lag when it was stored on my SD card. Moved to internal storage made it much better.
When I upgraded to class 10 card I could move it back, but it still lags a tiny amount on certain levels, but is mostly fine.
Hello all just wondering later down the road if ics will have more overclocking speeds, perhaps 1300-1500 if that is possible, curious because my nook is lagging at 1200 (I'm sure you guys are already aware of the lag issue)
Thanks!

Try 1100 and/or 1000 and see if your lag becomes less cumbersome. Some of the processors used for our NC's become over stressed around these points of clock speeds.

ICS is a bit laggy compared to CM7 at the moment. Not many people push their NC above 1300 and even on CM7 that could actually have a negative effect on graphics performance. You can try a different Launcher like Nova to help with main screen navigation. Also playing with CPU governors can help. InteractiveX and OnDemand are not necessarily the best at the moment. Performance gives best results but will drain battery a bit faster; conservative can also work OK.
thanks both for your replys, i will be changing my cpu speed now and ill report how it goes
OK I'm on 1100 and its smoother, I can see the difference in my live wallpaper performance, thanks for your help guys

How to improve gaming performance on Nexus 7?
Nova 3 multiplayer is pretty laggy,somemore i'm using a m-kernel a11 with 520mhz gpu overclock.
On android 4.1.2,smoothrom 4.1.
try trinity kernel, its a great gaming/performance kernel.

choose your rom wisely, some roms like aokp has heaps of features but it may slow your device down. others like leanrom has less features, but in turn you get very good performance from a much more stripped down system. also, i suggest you do a reboot before loading an extremely intensive game such as GTA Vice City. THD optimised games also improves performance compared to non-optimised games by Lameloft, cough, i mean gameloft
I have my nexus stock unrooted 4.2.1 and haven't had any problems with any games I've tried.

Hello,
I overclocked my cpu to 1944mhz and gpu to 487mhz using fauxclock (i'm rooted with faux kernel)...
But when i benchmark i have lesser scores (1600 on geekbench and 13000 on antutu)...
Can someone explain me why
Thanks

Hi,
Probably, yes. Plus Faux kernel is not the kernel to run benchs. Faux focused on "real" performance on daily use (UI, games) and his kernel is not a kernel for benchs. This is not a critic and I didn't say the other kernels are not optimized for daily use
faux123 said:
Yes, I play games to test my kernels, it's the BEST benchmark of anything, way better than any synthetic benchmarks
I also play NSF, DeadTrigger, Temple Run, AngryBirds and MetalSlug series to check all different aspect of gaming performance. My kernel may not score the highest in synthetic benchmarks, but it does well in real Games and Apps :victory:
........................................
my kernel is very smooth for normal apps and games but does poorly with these artificial apps like benchmarks and stress tests

But you can try another governor or tweaks some governor settings.
Thanks for the answer i noticed higher fps on real racing 3
That mean the kernel isn't good for bench that's it !
Btw is it possible to disable thermal throttling

No. Don't even think about it. Another possibility is that your phone can't handle the 1.9 overclock, hence lagging.
