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.

oopsy sorry
so whats the difference :O
the tegra also can be overclocked??
i'm new here n new to flashing

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?

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.

[Q] What is the best OC?

Hey guys I've been using MiniCM7 2.1.8 + nAa kernel 10 I have never overclocked my X8, but I want to know what would be the best min and max freq and the gobernor to use as day to day.
I know that it decreses my device life, but I want to get more out of it.
any help guys? Thank

the governor should be interactive or ondemand
and the frequency should be between
480 to 710.
Press thanks if i helped...

I personally use min 120 MHz, Ondemand governor
Now for max, use the higher value tha your chip can hold (mine on nAa is 729 MHz and in Alfs is 748 MHz)

thanks guys so it will be ok to set min 122Mhz and 721Mhz max ondemand governer! one more thing since i have nAa kernel that freq should be ok as day to day use or would u guys recommend me just when needed

i recommend you to put your freq higher than 600 mhz only if needed.
i.e. For playing games.

thanks man i guess ill do that nAa 11 has 864Mhz max freq would it be ok to play games with that?

864 mhz might not be stable.... if it is then ok. but it may heat up the device. so be cautious. i am using stock kernel and i overclocked to 768 mhz. and is pretty stable and the device is pretty much cool.

I personally use 729mhz max and 245mhz min. With i/o scheduler noop or bfq. And governor smartass v2. And btw, I am using nAa v09.

depends on the device... Some X8 can go up to 805 Mhz and others can't. Personally I use 748 Mhz Max and 480 Mhz Min with SmartassV2 governer.
PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED

I use my phone in 600 MHz,but for playing I change it to 806 MHz. 864 MHz gived a processor freeze and a red led instantly.
Sent from my E15i using xda premium

i use 19-768MHz on smartassv2!! very good performance and saves battery when the phone is sleeping!

I don't know why, but instant freeze and red led appears for me everytime i go over 729 mHz, nAa and alfs both

because every processor has more power than what is set as default... for us its 600MHz... but our processor has more power than that...
mine is stable at 768MHz, random reboots at 787MHz and freezes at 806Mhz... but some of us can even go further some can OC it to 825-865MHz....
the only cause is not even one processor is perfect... they all have faults... just some are more perfect than others... and 600Mhz is default because this frequency works stable on the processor in all our X8

When i play games with mines 19Mhz min 806 max smartassv2 it starts ok but the it lags, with normal freq it doesnt! Might it be that does works ok on that freq?

yeah i have lags with 19 min too when playing games... so i bump it up to 480 min... when im done playing back to 19 again!
19 saves a lot of battery... u can check if how much 19MHz is being used while the phone is sleeping.. search for "CPU Spy" on the market!

Xperia x8 overclock problem

Hi there,
I installed 4 modules: fix mddi, undervolt, dual touch, and faster wifi.
I decided to overclock my phone and it seems to be slowing down my phone rather than what it says by speeding it up.
Could it be because i am on semc stock kernel?

After some frequencies it happens to slow...its stock kernel fault.

The OC module has a problem in that when the module is activated it will underclock (correct me if I am wrong) if the OC frequency set is too low (abt 600MHz to 691MHz). Just don't set the OC frequency too low or stop using x8oc.

put a alfs kernel, and you have overclock module with fully working )

Actually nAa does a better job in that.
Maximum frq in alfs is 806 but in nAa 825 is available too

I just read dx's thread as i was interested in undervolting. x8oc.ko will only undervolt once your frequency goes below 600mhz.
@ftwisawesome: are you using "smartass" governor? Try switching to ondemand to check if it slows your phone like you said. And i believe you don't need to undervolt as spyder said it's already built in the oc module. (You are using x8oc.ko, right?)

Oh gosh I said UNDERCLOCK, not UNDERVOLT. The 2 are different and what I meant is that if you insmod x8oc and set it to, say, 600MHz, it will not really clock at 600MHz, it will clock at a lower speed.

Oh, my bad. Sorry about that.
No idea adt the underclock thing, but it does seem that way (ie: cpu set at "600mhz" using module really seems slower than 600mhz before applying it).
Really sorry man..

[Q] Performance

Please What is the Best CPU parameter and the best clock I / O and better memory management in the new Kernel BADASS and thank you in advance.

I use deadline as i/o scheduler and smartassv2 as governor with frequency 245-600 mhz
Idk if it is best

Check if it enters in deep sleep, 806 is high, ur cpu life will decrease
Don't use more than 600, that's enough for our mini, only thing our mini needs is, greater RAM

Hi guys, what app for tweaking do you use? I don't know wich one to use. I need an app for setting gpu clock, cpu clock, voltage and active cores.

Trickster mod is probably the best :thumbup:

It's good app too but it was a bit buggy for me before so I switched to TM but it may work perfectly for you

What bug have you found in it? And with wich app i can set to use only 1/2/3/4 cores??

I'm using Tegra Overclock, Pimp My Rom, System Tuner Pro and Trickster Mod.
LoKKeR, I'd highly recommend Tegra Overclock for settings number of CPUs.

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 ?
