[DEV] Overclocking the GPU !!

Take a look at this link
The GPU has been overclocked to 200 MHZ result from stock 25 fps to 36.5...
The desire(+-27FPS neocore) has the AMD Z430 GPU wich is also on the acer Liquid running at much higher 34,6 FPS @ the same resolution 800x480 but UC cpu768 MHZ although it still preforms much higher on neocore !
I'm sure that some of you developers with the knowledge are prepared figuring this out to get the desire GPU preforming better !..
(tnx to beidl) for those who're trying to find the changes: http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/m...8a6a0dfe5ba912

The Snapdragon Processor holds the CPU and GPU in one chip... i dont know if youre able to do that...
EDIT: maybe changing some clocking and voltage values in kernel???

More performance can somehow be squeezed out of it tho. Its just not good enough with the power it holds

I don't think people that wants to get the best benchmarks.... care? lol goto maximum overclocking.... possilbey higher than 1.27GHz..... after you benchmarked and got your name in the list.... go back to UVOC lol

lol, well if Richard would like to make a temporary kernel that would restore the volt and try 1.4GHz maybe more. HTC Desire could be getting the No.1 spots in benchmarking

looks like only some parameters and 2 functions (pc_clk_enable and pc_clk_disable) were changed.
I don't have much experience with kernel developing, I'm just a stupid java dev. lol
But I'd like to see this added to the 2.6.32.9 kernels, and since we would be able to
change the clock frequency somewhere in /sys/module/clock/, something like a "SetGPU" would be a nice project to do.

no however if you have advance task manager make sure no unnecessary processes are running so that quadrant can use as much ram/etc as possible, also i found underVOLTing and overCLOCKing it rendered some of the graphics blank making them load "faster" giving it a higher reading, also if ur on liberty 1.5 using the STAGEFRIGHT hack works too

While I'm not sure I get the point in this...
Droid Overclock in the market from Jrummy allows you to set custom frequencies. I have a profile set up for Max performance, at 1.45 ghz. When it came out, there was talk of people going up to 2 ghz if I remember correctly or it could have been a hoax, never looked into it. Definitely Risky, but you did say you already knew that, so don't come crying to back to the forums if you break something.
Stagefright.
It is not just a liberty mod, its a Build Prop mod that is easily edited in the liberty toolbox, you could always just edit the Build.prop yourself. I looked into this a while back with all the quadrant score hype and this removes the ability of the phone to play back video recorded from the device's camera or at least it used to, may have been fixed?.
Not 100% on this one, but I believe Stagefright is just false inflation of quadrant score, not really a performance increase; someone else feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Do you know were I could try the app out before buy it?

amazon
The amazon app market is the only place with "try before you buy" that I know of, but its in a web browser. Not really on the device, so would let you see features but not actually alter clock. Plus im not sure if that app is in the amazon market.

keeeeep gooiiingggg........do you have droid overclock?????

Honestly Quadrant scores are meaningless... If your phone is fast enough for you then you have it. Personally I see no reason to overclock Droid X or any other phone for that reason. A few hundred Mhz isn't going to change much in real world performance. Also you sacrifice battery life when you overclock.

Agreed on Quadrant Scores, however, many people are running higher frequencies with either stock or lower voltage, but doubt anyone is at 1.3ghz or higher without increasing voltage.
Also, with SetCpu, you can set up profiles to keep stock battery life with higher frequencies.

In Jrummys overclock app (Droid x Overclock) , there is the option to go up to 1.45 ghz. (To use the higher settings, go to the settings, then scroll down to "Scaling Frequency Preset" and select it. then go to set scaling frequencies, and select your voltage and speed. best of luck.

I got liberty 2.0.1 installed with stagefight on and my quadrant score is 2500+ with stage fright off my score was 1300 thats with a 1.2 overclock. Btw which is insanely stable compared to Liberty 1.5. For me atleast.

If you really want to see where your phone can run, buy quick clock advanced.from the market. It will test your phone for you to determine how low a voltage and how high a clock speed you can safely run. you can then load presets such as battery saver, balanced, or high speed. If you're on the Gb leak, it will not persist at boot, however

Thoughts on disabling one core when using CM7 variants

It was suggested to me that in order to prevent excessive battery drain and heat when using CM7 I should disable one of the cores. Has anyone done this? What negative impacts could doing this cause (if any)?

If anything it would increase battery drain due to all the processing being put on one single core, what I would recommend for a decrease in battery drain is different kernels with under volting options. That's what's worked best for me.

It was my perception that the older single core phones had better battery life. Do you really think it would hurt the battery?

Dual core isn't properly utilized yet so it might not be a bad idea.

Here is an example of my battery drain for today with the bricked kernel v1.4.

Changing kernel and undervolting did the trick for me. Getting 20 hours moderate use.

What are your settings?

Most of the time when both cores are on the 2nd isn't doing anything, because the first core isn't even pushed enough to reach max. So, I feel 1 core is sufficient, I'm running 4.1.x w/ 1 core @800 and the battery and speed are fine. Although I see others running speeds of 1.2 and higher, but I barely notice the difference of the freqs. The S3 is so fast that the higher clocks are overkill IMO.

Someone in faux kernel forum was talking about doing this. Gscript app makes it easy to run script. If you dont like it just reboot and 2nd core is back on.

I do see a difference in battery life, which is why I prefer this setup, when we have ICS I will use both cores. But I feel cheated on Ginger so I use 1 for now, and whoever said two cores has better batt is wrong...Logically two cores use twice the voltage, that means 1 cores will save a significant amount of power. A weak dual core w/ 1 core on will have bad life, but a fast on is different.

Every boot, you can make a linux script(.sh) if you want, and then use script manager. But, I'm only testing this for comparison, I can't see the speed difference w/ 1 or 2 so I just use 1. 1 @800 core feels how fast my MT4G did when OC'd @1.4Ghz.

How long have you been running like that?

I run Faux kernel, Joe's RCU, undervolted -50mV and underclocked to 1Ghz, I can now easily make it through the day and I'm a moderate to heavy user. I'm pretty sure disabling the second core isn't necessary, and frankly, if you check out how little it's used, it probably wouldn't benefit that much anyhow.

Completely false. Just because something has voltage across it doesnt mean that it is doing anything. Voltage times current equal power. Using power uses the battery.
You guys need to SERIOUSLY change the way you make decisions. Just because something SEEMS logical to you, doesnt mean it is correct. I see alot of BAD info being pushed around here.
I have CM7 and run Fauxs kernels. I FORCE both CPUs online and run at 1.56Ghz. My standby is around 30mAH...Nuff said.
Something else is messed up. Chase facts, not fiction people.
Another issue? UVing. You guys break so many rules in electrical engineering that it isnt even funny. Ive explained things so many times that I am sick of it. I wont anymore, but will let you know that you have missed some key facts.

Quadrants don't mean crap. Bump your sd read ahead cache to the max, overclock your cpu, enable all the stage fright crap in the build prop, tweak a few things here and there and you'll have that score. The only thing that actually increases performance would have been the overclock lol
I had a majoritively stock rom running 3600+ once. :/ I've seen barely usable builds running really high quads, and I've seen great fast smooth ones running real low...
Tl;dr - i wouldn't worry about it. Unless you're having performance issues. Then id reinstall with full wipes of everything.

CPU Binning (From DNA Forums)

Originally from this thread.
3 voltage tables exist in our kernel. Which table is used is based on QFuses that are blown. Based on the code, there are 4 "classes" of CPUs: Slow, Nominal, Fast, and Faster. The decision on which table is used is based on results from reading QFuses. I am going to make the ASSUMPTION that some testing happens at manufacturing/testing stage and fuses are blown based on the results.
The tables dictate a 50mv difference from slow to nominal and another 50mv from nominal to fast.
Example: @ 384mhz, a "slow" cpu is @ 950mv, a "nominal" cpu is @ 900mv, and a "fast" cpu is @ 850mv.
You can find how your CPU is binned by booting into (non-stock) recovery and running:
adb shell dmesg | grep PVS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Remember to run adb shell, hit enter, and then run the rest. It's not a huge deal, but it's still kind of interesting. I have a nominal phone, and I can OC to 2 GHz with just a little extra voltage.
