Overclock GPU? - LG Optimus Black

Has anyone managed to overclock the GPU on the OB? I haven't found anything on here but maybe someone else knows something about it

You are talking about OCing your graphic card or are you talking about the processor unit-CPU?Never heard that someone has OCd the graphic card for OB.

Of course it s possible, but i dont know, who already did it/which kernel includes it... however it doesnt really make sense, since our graphics is sooo slow, that an oc would hardly give you more performance, but a serious battery drain...

[Q] Overclocking the Galaxy

Now that the kernel source is available, won't we be able to overclock our mobiles?
Guess i got a little bit envious with all the overclocking that has being going on with other phones.

A bit of using search never really hurt anyone before...
So is it possible yet.

Been possible for last 3months. Just find a kernel with oc support and get setcpu. Frankly its not worth it as setcpu is a piece of **** app that make your system unstable. As other poster said. Do a damn search

But for froyo? Maybe is asking for it.
maybe someone with the tallents could have a look into this OC method they use for droid x and milestone using a kernel module, this would enable us to overclock any froyo kernel.

It would be nice to have it in the kernel. 100 to 1200 that the system controlling like it already do. No setcpu crap.

also setcpu is not to blame for the problems, as it runs just well on galaxy i7500 for overclocking. i´m not sure what the problem wit it is on SGS, but i´m pretty its not setcpu´s fault

The problem is that SGS doesn't like different CPU governors! It will only work if you don't touch the governor settings! At least that is what I have found to work in the Eclair builds!

Seems ignorance is bliss for some of our fellow xda folks. SetCPU is not even needed for those oc kernels unless you want to change scaling from default schema. It really don't contribute to the unstablity, just that the kernels seemed inefficient.

I agree. Don't install SetCPU and the kernel is reasonably stable, but crashes miserably when running cup intensive apps. We have to work harder developing a kernel which works well for our hardware.

kernel was very much stable. It is just that hummingbird is bad for overclocking. Not all phones can be overclocked, sadly.

I can understand what you are suggesting, however why was it still unstable when I tried to disable 1.2GHz or 1.13GHz frequency keeping the original scaling and running at 1GHz or less??
Is that 0.2 bump really noticeable?

dont know which version you used.
1.13 was quite old. All recent versions were 1.2. Anyway, nevermind =)
Yeah, do want a OC'able kernel - the 1.2GHz kernels for Éclair were always stable enough for me if I didn't try to UV it.
Id be open to using a 1.2Ghz OC if its 100% stable and no wake-up bugs and ofcourse should not affect the life of my CPU that much and should not drain my battery more than 10% faster

I'm guessing no since tegra drivers are close-sourced. But I could be wrong.
The GPU is indeed Overclock able, and the epeen version of vorkKernel for CyanogenMod Overclocks the GPU a little
Thank you.. do you know how much? btw brothers in arms 2 is lagging like hell..

The GPU is overclocked from 355Mhz to 366Mhz, on the EPEEN version of vorkKernel. But remember only to flash it if you're running CyanogenMod
Wiki says original is 300mhz for 2x or am i missing something? Btw strange thing ive noticed when running multitouch benchmark try to add more than two fingers and whatch fps drops from 120 fps to 60.. is that normal or there is touch bug like there was in optimus p500.

300Mhz might be the default. In that case we have some OC on the default one too.
Lag might occur on touch depending on ROM and stuff. One some devices a lot of log spam happens, and this slows down the device considerably
Ok thank you, same drops on cm7 fresh install as on fresh stock v10b its like 10 fps for each finger..

It's kernel doesn't support OC, you should flash an alternative kernel like swiftkernel, see thread in dev section.
And you're off topic, his thread if about gpu overclock, not CPU.

GPU is the graphics chip.
CPU is the chip used for everything else.
Overclocking the CPU will see performance gains in nearly every field, and the Tegra 2 can be overclocked from 1GHZ to 1.55GHZ or so.

oh thanks , but what is it that we usually overclock??
is it the cpu or the gpu??
seen o2x with 1.5ghz
so is it the cpu that is oc or the gpu??

just a quick through :
cpu can be overclocked(controlled by pimp my cpu/setcpu)
gpu based on source code can be overclocked too, but i can't find any voltage control that control gpu clock. so, overclock gpu is really minimal, from usual 335mhz to 366mhz. in benchmark, you won't see any noticeable score. so, i don't know if the gpu overclocking working fine or not, 30mhz increase seems not helping...
cheers...
Is there any way to reach 400mhz?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
Yes it comes.. but based on my testing,it will cause black screen of death after screen turn off for several minutes. Normal clock or a little increase doesn't make those problem.

Better performance for Games?

First: Sorry for bad english!
Hey guys! I have an questions and I thought you can help me...
I have an Optimus Black with CM7 lastest nigthly... And I have some lagg in games like MASS EFFECT, Dead Trigger, etc.
What you suggest me? Overclock to 1.2Ghz? or I just have to set the CPU to ondemand? O what I need to do for more performance in games?
I just want to play my games very smooth
Or a ROM with more performance in games? I haven't many apps running in background, just system apps and others like whats app, maps, viber. Also I have read the speed of the SD affects the performance.
Thanks a lot!

SD card speed does not affect performance but the game speed run the game on Android CM7 I have not experience with this rom but the performance in games will definitely affect the 1GHz overclock the CPU and the correct settings and CPU mode..
also enough free RAM affects performance in games.
I recommend the Zeus rom or any rom where you can set the OC kernel.

Thanks! the performance on CM7 is the best I had, and the usage of RAM is really really good! I recommend. Even so I have few lagg. I don't try Zeus ROM I heard many good things about it, but I don't want a based-stock ROM , And I love CM the customize is very good.
My friend have an iPhone 4 and the games looks very smooth in it ¬¬
Maybe another alternative?
trust me i run asphalt 6, FL Commando, NOVA 6 and sims free play on zeus, and no lag found..

Hey thanks! I alredy instal this ROM, The UI dislike me ... but the performance is great! Somebody can tell me what's the better CPU freq? 1000MHz (Stock) 1200Mhz (Sound good and stable) 1350 MHz (Sound really good but i'm not sure if its stable) and there is a notable difference?
Thanks, sorry for many questions but it's my first time with Zeus and OC
The CPU that's inside Black is OMAP3630 which can run from 1000 to 1200MHz on various devices (according to wiki). So 1200Mhz is not really an overclock. I'm not sure if Black is constructed in that way that 1000 is safer (heat dissipation) or this is done for purpose (market segmentation). I'm using Zeus with 1200 recently - no problems with it. Looking for other CPUs it looks like our processor could run much faster (ie. Galaxy+ can be overclocked to 1.9 from 1.4) but no one cares much about overclocking. Also wiki gives information that our GPU can be run 100-200MHz but in Black it is 100.
but it will use more battery

Yes, but I think that's imperceptible, I change my ROM again lol, I return to CM7, I don't find better performace (Just a little bit) with zeus ROM and my CM7 have an ICS theme, this looks precious, Black/grey windows, transparent notification bar etc. You know, if you want to see screens tell me and I'll put many.
Idk if hardware acceleration gives a better performance for games XD I hope it.

[Q] Tegra overclock

Hello everyone, I got a little problem here ..
I'm trying to use Tegra Overclock a lot since it sounds really useful but when I install it I CAN'T DO ANYTHING! Seriously, I touch the icons and nothing happens, the only thing that happens is that the cpu freq on top is allways updating, but the app itself doesn't let me do anything ! Any thoughts about it ? I'm using a 20c rom with ddfzl's kernel, can it not support my kernel ? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403624

RAM Overclock

Would it be possible to over clock the RAM on our device? I know it's possible to underclock, we have seen that with the app 'Tegra Overclock' but what about over clocking?

Why would you overclock the ram? I see no reason for it as we have 1 GB Ram and that's enough for almost every daily task. This would only make sense for testing purposes I think.
Besides that I never saw anything to overclock the ram (because most of the times the CPU is the real "problem" of lag).

To speed up the rate at which the memory is accessed, thus slightly reducing lag, it's more an issue of quality over quantity because, as you put it, 1GB is enough for almost every daily task.
I just think that, for a system which needs to manage memory in such a dynamic fashion, an increased clock speed would be highly beneficial, and if it were only slight, I doubt there would be issues with overheating and battery consumption.
Anyway, the purpose of this thread is to question whether it is possible and how?; not to question the necessity of it.
Thank you anyway for your reply though Omario, much appreciated
