This is how Oneplus X performs on low-light conditions, is this software related?
Update: It seems to be hardware related, Oneplus X uses the AA version of the SD 801 which is the weakest version with a GPU performance that loses to phones 2-3 years old. I don't know if this is related to the camera but I already feel cheated as this CPU was marketed as "very similar" to the OPO, this explains why it stays miles away from the OPO and is beaten by phones like the Xiaomi mi 4 which is in the same prince range.

I'm waiting to see what the professional reviews say before drawing conclusions. Even so, I still won't care because I normally don't use my phone to record meaningful HD video.
Just so you're aware, the SOC isn't simply the AA model. It's the MSM8974PROAA. The PRO means that it still has the high end 578mhz gpu. It should dominate current games, yet it doesnt. It's most definitely software related, and oneplus need to get this sorted. Stop misleading people, the phone is technically very powerful. It's Oxygen OS that's letting it down.

Nonsense.
Like someone already said it's AA Pro version which is really good. Game performance and video lagging is software related for sure. Probably due to poor default governor.
OP works on fix already, but wait for some custom roms. This phone is going to fly.

I rooted my device without unlocking bootloader.
I than tampered a little bit with the cpu and got way better performance in games as well
I considered flashing that kernel, too, but didn't want the hassle of resetting my device for it (unlocking bootloader). I'll do that when more custom roms are available.

Not really sure. In all the charts I've seen online the "AA" model of the 801 has a 450mhz gpu. I've benched the X and it has the 578mhz and a clear PROAA designation. Did some tests with gaming too. Even running riptide gp2 with all the graphics settings on off/minimum, it stutters. That just shouldn't happen on ANY 800 series. Just hoping people don't underestimate what this phone "should" be capable of

just because it displays the frequency doesnt mean the gpu will ever reach it

I far as i know the MSM8974PROAA has indeed the high GPU freq. (578 MHz) but compared to AB and AC variants it has much lower ISP freq. and RAM Memory Interface freq. I've an OPX E1003 with Antutu 5.7 3D score of ~11000, whereas the Galaxy S5 scores ~13500, so 22 percent better in gaming according to Antutu. The total antutu score is sligtly lower than of the Galaxy S5, but it seems largely to have to do with 3D performance.
But I noticed using a Usage Monitor app that Asphalt 8 really doesn't push this phone to the max (CPU and GPU wise) ánd has a low framerate (might be app specific issue). With the same Usage Monitor I found out Antutu 5.7 3D pushes the GPU freq. to the max (578 MHz) but still scores significantly below Galaxy S5. Gaming NFS Most Wanted is okey, but GTA San Andreas has lower framerates than expected. I didn't expect the differences between 2 SnapDragon 801 variants to be this big!

These settings have been tested by me all night and all day checking the timesnin each clock state and if it failed it would be a simple fix . This is as stable as can be lowering your temps and increasing batterylife!! No more screen dimming. I stopped the undervolting process at 1728mhz because at 2265mhz regardless the phone would overheat
So here are the specs below
300mhz----750mv
422mhz----750mv
652mhz----750mv
729mhz----750mv these are as low as I could go
883mhz----760mv
960mhz----770mv
1036mhz---780mv
1190mhz---790mv
1267mhz---800mv
1497mhz---810mv
1574mhz---820mv
1728mhz---830mv
These settings are to be inputted directly into setcpu via voltage table proven to work
These settings are also tested daily and improved where flawwed
I figured i would post this since there isnt a single post with manual voltage specs
Good info thanks!
You got it!!
Have any voltages setting for OC?
Are these settings good for gaming?
As posted these voltages are strictly for batterylife however does just fine on gaming. I will work on oc voltages once the cpu limiter is removed from any kernel unfortunate it would be pointless to overclock this handset
Why can't I adjust voltage settings on a stock kernel? I don't get an option to do it in the fauxclock app...

you do know we already have 2 over clocked kernels for tw. so its not exactly pointless.
These settings are for people who want batterylife and to enjoy theyre phone without the screen dimming on them from the cpu overheating on them.. i dont see a point in overclocking the phone. Maybe some quadrants and horrible batterylife
There are some that want the most battery in a device. Others want the most performance. I and others are in the 2nd category. I personally have a zerolemon so battery life is a last priority for me seeing that underclocking this handset is pointless to me. But to each their own. I do aprreciate you taking the time to find out these voltages but to some OC is just as addictive as flashing roms themselves lol!
Thats fine you can enjoy your screen dimming 2.7ghz while i have the zero lemon and underclocked at 1728mhz and undervolted lasting 6 or more days and still screaming fast. Sure there isnt a point to it huh

This WILL not work on a stock TW kernel as SETCPU or Voltage control do not have the ability. The only way to change voltages (unlike the title claims) is to flash a NON stock kernel first.

This is due to variation in chips, when the processors are manufactured they are tested, separated by performance, and priced accordingly (this is called 'product binning'). Those of you using OP's settings with no issues have similar or better processors, and likely could undervolt further.

The clock speed, voltage, and heat are all directly connected; changing any value will affect at least one of the others.

These theories are equally applicable to all processor types. The issue with these one-size-fits-all settings is we are using cpu's from multiple different bins, thus they can tolerate different voltages/clock speeds. It's also worth mentioning that 2 cpu's from the same bin will tolerate different settings (as they came from different wafers) and that even 2 cpu's from the same wafer will likely tolerate different settings (depending on it's location within the wafer).
In other news, I've found THIS extremely useful thread that explains how to go about revealing your bin # (Thanks @toastido for noting that KitKat changed location to /sys/devices/system/soc/soc0/soc_pvs :highfive. The thread also has multiple users end settings and benchmark results.
Last but not least, to finally answer your original question: I found in that thread that your original settings will vary depending on your bin # (There are no universal stock settings) but perhaps you can find someone who posted their original settings from the same bin that you have. Hope it helps, cheers :good:
Hy guys.
My girfriend bought a beautiful S9 plus and she loves it. It is a great piece of hardware, from design to speed and camera. Just amazing.
Of course i had to test a few things myself (still a rooted note 3 owner). I tried my old "Nemesis", Retroarch, with a couple of games (3rd gen Cave shmups) that put to shame every smartphone Cpu sp far.
The games finally ran full speed, except for moments where a ton of stuff happends on screen and the framerate and audio start going a bit crazy. What is strange though, is the fact that the Cpu never goes beyond 1.7 ghz, never once, which is the little cores max frequency. I'd expect it to reach 2.7 which is the max for the big powerfull ones, to further smoothen the performance.
Is there something i'm missing here? There is no power saving activated and the game center(?forgot the actual.name) settings are set to performance (though from what i understand it only affects display, not Cpu).
...help?

I haven't gone beyond 1.7ghz since my last reset, I did when I first got the phone but my assumption is that s new kernel was installed that changed the way the CPU ramped up (Exynos btw) to counter the battery life claims. In all honesty from my limited knowledge it's probably the GPU that limits the frame rate but that's only a guess as 8 cores @ 1.7ghz is plenty of processing power.

The S9+ is not rooted, so it's on stock kernel.
Also, the emulator (mame) is designed to only use Cpu for 2d games, with Gpu used at minimum.
1.7 is far from enough, especially when it can go up to 2.7 to improve the otherwise non-optimal performance of the games. I'm very curious what's the issue here...

Same.
Same here on G965FXXU2BRG6.
Edit: It seems that CPU Spy doesn't work correctly on the S9. When using CPU-Z and running Geekbench 4, I can clearly see CPUs 4-7 running at 2704 MHz at times.
That's interesting. So my next test will have to involve Cpu-z as a monitoring tool. Thanks for the replies guys.

Thanks, am gonna register there, see what they have to say about it. That and my other question I'd have: why I received my 'new' S9+ with IMEI SV 07? And when I did IMEI lookup on line, found out that the phone was registered for warranty one month before I ordered it. My email to Customer Service was returned with "Samsung sells only brand new phones". Didn't know that there is no replacement policy at Samsung, you can only return it for refund, it's not a good option for me, because I took that 'bundle deal' and I don't owe the Chromebook anymore, they would subtract some$ from it. Well, according to Samsung, the warranty on my phone runs until October '19, we'll see.

If those devices use overclocked kernel, you can't even guess what will be their benchmark scores. So, let's not compare our device with the might of Mate 20 Pro or Rog Phone. They are way more powerful and advanced.

Get your facts straight before posting misinformation on this forum: Rog phone is also using the same 845 soc but have a little bit better thermal cooling system. maybe it will perform 4-7% better than poco f1 in best case.
Soc 845 soc is still fastest soc availble on market currently and the poco has 1 included
What can You do with this Tutu score? Does it feeds You? Or it's enlarger for Your tiny ..... ?
Can't quite understand those human beings trying to achieve some virtual score - it is only one side of coin. More important is general every day usability. Don't You think so?

Are you blind or what? The OP showing screenshot of Poco with Extreme kernel that has overclocked CPU of 3.2GHz compared to ROG phone that has 2.8GHz CPU without overclocking. That's what I said. If ROG phone also uses an overclocked CPU with 3.2GHz or something like that, it will destroy his overclocked Poco.

I'm on aosp since early days, around 220k antutu, and still happy with the roms around xda than memeUI. Trust me, antutu is almost meaningless now.
So mi9/9se/9t got some nice mods for screen overclocking, anyone done anything similar for mi8?
Also would like to know, if it possible.
There was an option on some old extreme kernel, but if it possible to implement to a Newark revolution or another?
Because there are always an option of save screen overlock, like on a PC or laptop.
i am too would like to know if it possible.
but i think mi8 max can reach 70hz.
On the Extreme Kernel 75hz is too much laggy.
Yes some people tried it and if I remember correctly they used the existing mod and it worked temporarily until it damaged their phones.
Search, and you will find the threads where people were trying to fix their phone afterwards.
Just sell your phone and buy one with that capability, I would bet that it's not worth the extra cost.

The simple answer - because everything on phone would be much smother, without any drawbacks (only small with battery consumption, but very, very small). There should be safe overclock for every display - yeah, 84Hz is toooo high, but 70 should be just fine for screen.

Dude, why don't we overclock the display?
Why not ask for more when we have this opportunity?
i think 70hz is possible. If there was an application(or tool) to set it up, I'd have already tried it.

Because it will damage your GPU.
But go ahead and do what you want, the warning is for the people wanting to do things safely.
I would advise that you search XDA and find the many people with many different types of phones who damaged their phones using GPU overclock mods not designed for their device.
Overclocking the display makes as much sense as removing the thermal config files to get a higher AnTuTu score. Does it work? Yes, until Black screen.
Again, do what you want :
a overclock file for the display is already available that will install on the Mi8. Go find it and enjoy it for maybe a few days until your display stops working and the only solution is replacing the motherboard.
Enjoy :good:

Addition to the previous post, 10 fps will do no favors to your experience. And if it was safe, xiaomi would deliver the device with this modification. Who would limit a feature while they can advertise it and sell more? You have a decent flagship device from last year and it's still very powerful against tree he majority of the devices in the market. If it was possible, I'm sure this brand would do it.
It's unsafe and many people are saying that it actually makes the device lagging, instead of the expected "smoother" experience. 60 fps is enough, and more than this is just fantasy and it'll make you no better than you currently are in any online games. If you want proof, go to the extreme kernel thread and you'll see many people are suffering this laggy ui issue.

"Because it will damage your GPU. " made me burst out laughing lmao,since when overclocking the display has anything to do with the gpu lol wtf
Some guys were referring about kernel, but new devices are using patched dtbo.
Guess this is the correct way.

And your IQ is just laughable, and your lifespan is very questionable.
Firstly you need to understand what gpu does.
Higher refresh rate for display = higher refresh rate for gpu, which means your GPU will need to use more battery, and run faster to keep up with. This will also heat your GPU excessively which will damage it.

This is completely wrong. 60hz screen will send a command to your GPU to produce 60 frames per second. Phones are vertical synced. It will not damage the GPU at all.
For reference Razer Phone 2 does 120hz and it has the same snapdragon 845 which has the same GPU

It has a cooling system called "vapor cooling". You can buy a Razer Phone 2 instead, then.
You are claiming that I am wrong by repeating me in different words, very clever.

The cooling system is when the GPU is being demanded heavy resources which is GAMING and only GAMING!
Displaying normal apps (reddit whatsapp instagram email) and the home screen will not stress the GPU it can display over 300 fps and it won't need any cooling as it will not run hot.
I have the razer phone 2, if what you are saying is true my phone will be a constant hot potato since 120hz will always stress the GPU.
The Mi8's screen is designed to handle 60hz safely. The GPU can blow the display and it will keep running normally.
Please do not spread wrong information, I am not repeating you at all, what I am saying is completely contradictory to what you are saying.

When you laugh at people's iq and lifespan,it means there are no point of having any argument with you
Hey, what AnTuTu score do you get?
I've watched few clips over youtube, people get ~365k. My tablet barely makes 310k.
Here's my score in the attached images. Any ideas what could cause that issue?
The tablet feels somehow laggish and sluggish while moving around the menus.

How long you had it? I found the performance and smoothness improved after a few days

from sep 6, this is Korean version 256gb/LTE
Actually it's getting worse.
It just made 290k after few days of using.
However it's strange.
I got 158k at GPU like gomelkiev.
However i've got 50k CPU against 113k.
It's like some power thing, which is strange, because the tablet was on charger while doing the AnTuTu.
I can't find any performance mode toggle like on the phones.

Scores don't matter or mean much. As long as your happy with its performance in use no point getting stressed about numbers
Out of curiosity I ran Antutu and got
438928
132930
170660
80460
54878
I am rooted and have debloated 99 packages, so...
No other tweaks of any kind.
well, I'm using it mainly for darkness rises and it's doing fine. My worries about the low score are because at this point is not certain if it's hardware or software issue. It might be battery optimization as well as thermal issue i.e. heat sink not attached perfectly which may progress at some point.

My score was 367k which I'm pleased with.
I also reliably score around the 365K mark. FYI that essentially identical to my note 10+
Maybe 6gb vs 8gb ram creates big difference?
But can't be 20 percent...

Samsung's Korean devices have funky software and radios to work on their funky cellular networks. There's lots posted on XDA about issues people have had running Korean devices in the U.S. Korean and Chinese devices are generally considered no bueno as imports.
Try putting it in airplane mode with Wi-Fi enabled and running AnTuTu again. My EU LTE version arrives tomorrow and I'll test it for comparison.

I get between 440k and 450k it has to do with a program it comes with game preformance. You have to have that set on preformance. I have the 6gb version btw. I was concerned like you when I first got it, it was doing about the same as my Razer phone 2 which has a 845. Almost sent it back till I found that game preformance thing. Which also brought my 3d mark score from 4700 to 5600. That's also prolly why the guy with the rooted one gets a higher score, because that game preformance thing is removed, which lowers everything to save battery.
Just ran it again got 443259
~430k here (2 runs, pretty consistent).
Concerning the remark above, I froze quite a few things including game performance I believe so might have an influence...

Acutally, you are scoring higher than the guy that is rooted and debloated. With today's softare optimization and hardware it makes me wonder if debloating is even worth it anymore other than not wanting the crap there. Edit: I ran a test for fun and even scored higher than the rooted and debloated guy.
