[Q] GPU Overclock??

---

I'm not sure quite how it works, or if the galaxy s series has the capabilities to do so, but can the GPU be overclocked? All I know is that its Cortex-A8 chip is 3 times faster than the snapdragon, and supposedly runs cooler... So is the GPU and CPU combined into the single hummingbird chip? If so, would the 1.2ghz OC clock up the GPU speed at the same time? I know that this phone is a beast already, but it would be even more fun to have this thing clocked up to 1.6ghz and if the GPU overclock is separate, maybe that can be done too...

I'm usually pretty supportive of overclocking but I think its pretty useless to overclock the gpu at this point. The captivate's GPU is faster than the GPU that will be in the next generation OMAP4/Cortex-A9 processors. There is simply nothing meaningful that can even tax the Captivate's GPU right now.

If past phones are any guide then the GPU can be overclocked and it is a separate clock from the CPU.

this is a video of the iphone running a 'rage' demo.
the captivates processor handles graphics slightly better than the iphone 4, and the iphone 4 is also underclocked.

so the captivate is capable of these graphics and more without overclocking.

Is there any chance we'll be getting the GPU drivers ported over from the Nexus S? CM7 and MIUI are apparently using them, but those ROMs are still too buggy for me. I wish we could be them going on a KH3 ROM.

Have you tried cm7/MIUI lately? Not nearly as buggy as they once were. Still a few wrinkles, but stable as a daily driver for a lot of people.

I felt that for long time and waited on the cm7/miui train for a while. I'm now running miui and love it.

Ya I was on MIUI for a while, but people complained about the phone quality when talking tom me. I switched to a KH3 for the audiance chip. I do miss the snappiness even with the FCs. Was hopeing to have my cake and eat it too.
