[Q] Overclocking the tegra gpu - Acer Iconia A500

just want to know if it can be done without using a custom rom, I'm using Acer stock pics, with ez kernel + I/o patch. can of the CPU to 1.5 but not gpu, ideas?
was using tegraowners v170 with let's u clock both CPU and gpu, but its wank for games, nova 3 and mc3 run like **** with it.

You need a custom kernel and rom. I suggest tegra owners i have mine clocked to 1600mhz

[REQUEST] Tegra GPU OC....

Hey everyone...I tell ya, I sure am enjoying all these awesome custom roms and kernels. Great job to all the developers here, putting in the blood, sweat, and tears for the advancement of the community, thank you so much. One feature that I saw in a Xoom build was the GPU overclocked, and while I'm sure it won't interest everyone, and there is probably only little gain to be had from it, I would love to have the option to oc the CPU and the GPU for the highest performance possible...please. Well I think that covers it unless someone else shares my desire to see this feature. Thanks for all your work and consideration XDA and have a great day.
if ur CPU OC than GPU too
Apparently not so on the Motorola Xoom as there are two versions of Tiamat 1.4.4... with and without GPU OC. Tiamat 1.4.4 Full Throttle

oc-ing the gpu doesnt get you anything... gpu is default 200mhz 2d with 300mhz in 3d and it can be uped to 250mhz 2d and 400mhz 3d but it cant be software controlled and it will eat more power...
and no oc-ing the cpu doesn't oc the gpu, its a separate part of the tegra2 processor
Hey Thor, thanks for joining the conversation. Based on what youve seen so far, how well are the tegra GPU cores being utilized? Suffice to say I've pulled off insane desktop GPU overclocks that showed almost nill gain with drivers that werent mature in which the GPU cores werent being loaded past 50% . I realize that the tegra is a horse of a different color, but isnt it still affected by the specific driver optimizations, hence the THD enhancements? Just out of curiosity as I very much trust your experience. I am still interested in trying it with definitive comparisons to follow...well about as definitive as synthetic benchmarks can be anyway.
I just saw that you have a new beta... Yay. I cant wait to give it a whirl.
I have been over locked for a little while. Max I have done is 1506 but it tends to be slightly unstable. I run 1400 now and haven't had any issues. biggest difference I notice is home screen transitions load fast and don't lag and programs load much quicker. there doesnt seem to be any games that will push the CPU hard so I don't notice much of a difference there.

I've had 1600mhz going strong with no instability, benchmark after benchmark, the only issue I've had is the device shutting down when left alone for too long, but I consider that a useful standard function. Otherwise 1600 performance has been rock solid. I decided to take it upon myself to take this girl apart' clean the CPU off, remove the thermal pad, and apply some as5....though the chip didnt really run very hot to begin with. Now until I have the option to go for 1800mhz, I'd like to see where the max threshold is for cpu/gpu oc.
I have mine overclocked also at 1600.. Runs very stable at this speed and benchmarks not too bad:

I have had higher speeds, but very unstable...

Can only the 3D Clocks be altered without touching 2D? If yes can you make such a version of the ........... that "nobody" knows anything about?

Very nice quadrant score man, I used to score alot higher until I updated to stock 3.1+ updates. It seems like the higher my OS version number gets, the lower my synthetic performance gets overall.

that's what mine did. it would reboot while sleeping. sometimes it would be 3 or 4 times in an hour.

Wow!
Umm, what rom do you guys run for this? I'm on rooted and CWMd stock 3.1 rom. Can't find a OC kernel for it. Only one I can find is for ASUS based roms. I prefer to keep stock rom if it's possible.

You should try richardtrip's kernel. His kernel is keep updating Very good performance and stability.
thats the kernel i am using o/c 1400 works very well. you can find it in the development thread.

Thanks! Works great. Do you feel the HoneyVillian rom runs faster with the v2.4 Kernel or about the same as stock Acer 3.1 HC rom with v2.4 Kernel?
So far I can keep stable at 1.5 after 2 hours of use. It's also slept for 30 mins and seems ok at that too.
Also what kind of Scaling do you guys use? Ondeman, Interactive? On my phone I use ondemand.

Tegrak Ultimate OC/UV & GT-P6800

is working without any problems with stock ics kernel
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tegrak.overclock.ultimate
OC up to 1600mhz, mali gpu up to 400mhz.
but i prefer to use it for UV, because it is already fast enough with stock clocks

[Q] About Performance From OC'ing Kernels.

Okay I have been debating on which kernel to use for the CM10 ROM I use, some of them like m-kernel support CPU/GPU OC'ing up to like 1.7GHz then other kernels like franco support the same, but don't allow an OC above stock. How much performance gain for sacrifice of battery life do you truly get from OC'ing your CPU to a higher frequency, compared to just overclocking your GPU?
I can't notice a big difference in my use with the OC CPU . The GPU OC is more noticeable for me. I run trinity kernel at 1150 CPU 446 gpu and it runs great.

I run motley plus a10 and I do notice faster installs on apps. If you want numbers flash a kernel and run it through quadrants benchmarks

I'd use something like AnTuTu over Quadrant just because I find it more reliable tbh.

[Q] Octa-core Samsung Galaxy S4 caught cheating on GPU benchmarks

Octa-core Samsung Galaxy S4 caught cheating on GPU benchmarks. The real GPU Clock is 480MHz. When using benchmark, the Galaxy S4 GPU start ticking at 532MHz and continues to do so until you exit the app.
So, my question is,
How can we overclock our GPU to 532Mhz?
Maybe the devs can make the GPU always 532Mhz on Custom Rom like Cyanogenmod Rom to get the best performance?
The real GPU clock is 544MHz.

I read the article somewhere (can't give you the link because I'm new user), the real GPU is 480MHz. It only clock to 544MHz when you're running Benchmark tool such as 'Antutu Benchmark'. But after you exit the benchmark app, The GPU will clock to 480Mhz for battery saving. It will never use 544Mhz unless you're running benchmark app.

Clocked mine at 640mhz thanks to perseus kernel.

WOW !! Really ? What Rom that u're using ? Can I use Perseus kernel and wanam lite rom ? or with cyanogenmod ? and how can I check if my GPU is clock at 640Mhz ?

think you can use perseus kernel with wanam lite rom and Crash rom v6.

I've flashed perseus kernel. I see that the GPU can be overclock to 700MHz.
Is there any problem/risk for my phone to damage if I overclock the GPU too much ? 700MHz ?

from my prespective, id'nt touch that ,since overclocking GPU eats up battery like crazy ,id only overclock it if need it for some big apps or games that lags on default gpu settings but i never had kinda issues so i just leave it on default..
Anyways, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356445
Mine @ 700MHz. Smooth as butter... :laugh:
