Tinkering with them for an excess amount of time doesn’t make much sense, so having a feature that automatically overclocks the graphics card is a godsend. Both AMD and NVIDIA have reached a point in their product cycles that there isn’t much too much gain from overclocking their cards. For AMD cards, a much simpler way exists in the Radeon Software itself. We’ll be using MSI Afterburner as it provides a vast range of tools to overclock GPUs, especially NVIDIA’s. We’ve previously covered CPU overclocking in our guides here, but today we’ll be focusing on getting the most performance out of your GPU. MSI Afterburner has a neat auto overclocking feature (called OC Scanner) that you can use without getting into the nitty-gritty. You could get 2 different GPUs at the same price but get a wildly different performance out of them. So I lucked out I guess on that part for a bit.So you recently got your hands on a shiny new graphics card? And you want more performance than what you paid for? With both AMD and NVIDIA packing in more cards in mid-range budgets, it’s getting harder to distinguish between each other’s value. I ordered the INNO3D RTX 2080 OC x2 Instead I got the INNO3D RTX 2080 OC x3. We did reach out to verify with NVIDIA PR, and they have specifically told us that its yet-to-be-released OC Scanner tool will not void your warranty. 'NVIDIA PR States OC Scanner does NOT Void your RTX Warranty. However my question is, has anyone experienced any problems withsoever with applying an overclock that came from this 'OC scanner'? Im reading that nvidia released an OC Scanner function via msi afterburner. I got a new 570 THREE times and never overclocked in my life again. So I vouched to never ever ever overclock cuz it scared me.

I overclocked my GTX 570 and stress tested with furmark.Įach time it killed the card. So i have a really REALLY bad trauma of overclocking videocards.
