I have seen this in a XBOX One 'legal' scene Discord. I can't give you any kind of warranty, of course, but it should work and it should be safe.

Enabling a basic overclock on your Xbox One
This was discovered by Title Os:
1) Download hwinit.overclock.gpucpu.cfg
2) Rename it to hwinit.cfg
3) put it on a usb drive under a folder named $SystemUpdate
4) plug the usb into your xbox
5) reboot

hwinit.overclock.gpucpu.cfg : https://anonfiles.com/57J60cDdo2/hwinit.overclock.gpucpu_cfg

More info:
The file enables an overclocked mode controlled by a byte at 0x8 and can have a value between 0x01 - 0x58. File Magic: 0x1-0x58 - 4E,49,57,48,02.Unknown FF range.

It's safe, I have the OG model, I didn't run it for long but saw considerable improvements in heavier games, no noticeable differences in 360 games

With it, games load faster, smoother framerate, fan runs a bit louder but that's expected because it's overclocking

I tested it mainly with FF15 which is known for its incredibly long loading screens (3-5ish minutes) loading took anywhere from 45 seconds to 1:30 iirc

And then when MS bans the Xbox from XBL people will scream how anti-consumer they are for doing it.

Where is the hack to enable the dGpu?

It should be temporal. Once you remove the USB drive it should return to regular clocks. So just disconnect it from internet. I think.

This kind of thing should be reserved for OG Xbox/Xbox 360. No one wants to get banned from Xbox Live.

Very interesting, i assume this is only for Xbox one? Or can it work on the one x also.

 

[Nikana]

That seems wild. Im in.

They should share the same kernel. But idk.

I don't have my X here to test.

Anybody thinking of doing this might want to wait to let everyone test it out if you care about your Xbox One.

I entered this thread expecting OP to say ".. get a PS4 pro" but was pleasantly surprised.

Hmm...

 

[LokusAbriss]

2020 is full of surprises.

Will you other folks risk your Xbox One X so I don't have to?

 

[Skifi28]

Jealous of the PS4 pro burning jet fuel and taking off? Now you can do the same on your xbox!

 

[Goncas2]

Interesting. What are the clocks?

Unknown FF range.

He has discovered the Overclock Mode flag and the range limit, but AFAIK, clocks are unknown.

Could reach PS5's 10TF? Who knows
