Is it safe to overclock my GPU with MSI Afterburner? All adjustments can be saved as profiles, and users can quickly switch to different settings with hotkeys. All important information including the GPU core clock, memory clock, temperature, voltage, and fan speed have a real-time on-screen-display monitor in games and real-time information in the Windows Tray Icon. Regardless if you have an Nvidia or AMD-based GPU, MSI Afterburner works with all brands of graphics cards.Īfterburner gives you complete control over your hardware, lets you monitor in real-time, and it's completely free. I have not yet overclocked the memory as I don't have a ton of time to watch for artifacting at the moment.MSi Afterburner is a free utility that lets you overclock, monitor, benchmark, and video capture.

And adjust to a more modest +50 mhz offset at lower than 1 volt. I custom edit the curve to follow this +270 offset at greater than 1 volt.


I have found my card to overclock poorly at the lower voltage levels, but can get about +270mhz at the higher voltages. (Also I have not tested this, but maybe have an underclock may aid the scan tool to test only the core, unconfirmed atm) Do not have any memory overclock during the scan. near 80C and you should stop and raise fan speed slightly. The Fans use a non-insubstantial amount of power / the three-phase motors affect the overclock. After the reboot let everything settle, and make sure to dial in the EXACT settings in afterburner/oc tool of choice from when you started scan, and the scan should resume when you say start. If somehow the display driver recovers, reboot before continuing. If your system crashes or black screens during scanning, be patient and it will automatically reboot for you. During a scan, if the GPU usage drops in the middle of a short test this is what determines the limit and it backs down on that voltage a step or two. thus it will always say no load was the dominant limitation. After finishing a scan it says what the dominant limiter was as its running math it is always on 'no load' as this is based off of FPS.
