In a computing device having a pipeline of image processing components, DCVS bandwidth voting may be based on a feedforward compression ratio determined by the first image processing component in the pipeline. The DCVS bandwidth voting may be based on the result of a comparison of change in the feedforward compression ratio with a threshold. Transaction initiator components in the pipeline may select their votes for bandwidth from among a feedforward compression ratio-based value and one or more other values, based on the result of the comparison with the threshold. DCVS parameters may be selected based on bandwidth votes received from transaction initiator components.
