Why the Moto G 4 Plus even runs at a max GPU frequency of 400 MHz?

[Johann0109]

I have the XT1641, following CPU-Z or DevCheck stats, the GPU is supposed to run at 550 MHz, but in my case the max frequency is 400 MHz and it seems maxed out, sometimes runs at 240 MHz but always is at 400 Mhz, don't really know if when I open a game (Real Racing 3) it max outs at 550 Mhz but I don't think so becuase it runs at 20-25 fps, is the 400 Mhz limit is for power saving? I don't have any power saver enabled but I just wanted to know.

As you can see

Are you on custom kernel?

Which Rom and kernel are you running?

All the phones will change the frequency of the CPU and GPU based on the actual load, to conserve energy.
You are looking at the GPU frequency when you are saying 400 or 550 MHz. If there are no 3D apps running, the GPU frequency will be lower.

Yes, you are right. 240MHz is enough for basic apps.
