I've definitely gotten the hang of general overclocking and stability testing except for manipulating the voltages on GPUs using Afterburner. One avenue that I have more recently been exploring is GPU overclocking. I think it's better to just leave that one alone.So I've been into PC building and gaming for quite some time now (since about 2014), so I feel pretty confident with my computer hardware skills.

Once a running memory OC starts showing signs of instability, it's usually going downhill from there. When you're done, click the Reset button and close Afterburner. When you want to start up a game, open Afterburner, click the numbered profile it was saved at, and click apply. Save the settings in one of the numbered profiles and lock them. Lock it with the L key, and click Apply again. Then use the up arrow key and raise the frequency back up to the max core clock the gpu touched. Find the voltage point in the Curve Editor that matches it, or is the closest match, and click on it. Take the max gpu voltage you recorded, and subtract 0.05v from it.

Memorize, or write 'em down.Ĭlose the game, and open Afterburner's Curve Editor. Make sure both Core Clock and Gpu Voltage are visible.Īfter a few minutes, check Afterburner's hardware monitor for the MAX Core Clock and Gpu Voltage.

Play your games with Afterburner's own hardware monitor running. Max out only the power limit, and click apply. Unlink the Power and Temperature Limits - there's a paperclip like icon next to it depending on the skin being used. Overclocking makes the gpu run hotter and run into board power limits more frequently, and Gpu Boost doesn't like that. It's more productive to undervolt anything 10 series and later.
