Just use KmsPico to activate windows instead of wasting money on expired keys which might not work, and most importantly KmsPico is 100% free just like nvidia autooverclock.
increasing the core frequency on NVIDIA cards is an undervolt. +100Mhz shifts the whole curve up 100Mhz which is like (depending on the curve in your bios) a 0.025v undervolt across the curve excluding max frequency which is achieved at max voltage and at +100Mhz. You want to reduce it's ability to hit max clocks to save power, then pull down the power limit.
To me it only makes sense to OC if your current GPU is struggling in the games you play. If not that 2-5 fps isn’t worth it because you won’t notice it in game.
It's legit perfect for something being new. Sure nothing crazy but it doesn't void your warranty and I agined 3fps on average in 4k. That's a W. It's safe and effective without over doing it. You can still OC yourself but for normal users this is appreciated.
I did it on my 4060 and opened up Jedi Survivor. My latency was bad to the point where the frames were getting all scrambled. Kinda freaked me out so I took the Tune off.
Yeah hoping they can find a way to use AI to make it even better. A true AI overclocking agent than can test every setting in a fraction of the time it takes to do manually. OC'ing is fun but I just don't have the time anymore.
@@holobolo1661 LMFAO funny thing is, I typed that comment on RU-vid mobile, and it was meant for a totally different video. IDK how it ended up on this video.
@daegantierneyALBA if it feels something like the game being constantly ""stuttery"" like, almost as if you could see each frame, then it's cause you're too used to 240hz
the nvidia overclock fixed my hz and fps. I would get 200-300 fps with my 4060 on valorant, but if never felt like the 164hz I was supposed to have. it would stutter between 100+. After the nvidia overclock, my fps and screen hz has felt amazing with no stutter
I want to make a correction. Unless you play around with voltage there really is no way to hurt your gpu with overclocking via msi afterburner. You can max out the power limit and temp limit and it wont hurt your gpu. memory clocks don't hurt at all they just might reach a point where you see no further performance gains and performance actually gets worse.
1) its not new, its been there for years 2) difference between this and your manual 170 is that this is rock stable, yours crashes randomly every once in a while
It takes so long, and the result for my 4060 laptop is only +50 MHz core. I just jumped to the afterburner and undervolted it to +~260 MHz core at 0.915 mV.
Not sure why it would take 20-30 minutes for something they just add a default increase in VRAM clocks and a tiny core clock increase... Just got a 7900 GRE a few days ago after upgrading from a 2080 ti and the AMD OC panel is so easy to use. You can OC within seconds, test the settings and save it if it seems stable. If your pc crashes it will automatically set your GPU to default, then you can load your last saved OC and dial things a little back and test again.
I had a different experience when I attempted to overclock using EVGA precision. My system would reset and crash. The times I could get it to play were about maybe 10-15 frames better on 1440P on helldivers2, sitting around 100fps in the ship and about 65-70 in the game. When I tried the one click, mine jumped to 130 fps on the ship and 87-95 fps in the game. I have a great cooler, a 4070 and i7-14700KF- with a z model motherboard. Now, I am new to PC gaming. I only owned my PC for about 5 months and only tried overclocking the last 2 months. But in terms of performance, the one-click worked better for me. If you know, with my specs, how I could try manual overclocking and not crash my system, please let me know. Thanks, PC Builder!
MW3 Benchmark is trash anyways, doesn't even come close to the REAL fps you'll get in game. The benchmark says I get 312 average FPS and in game I get between 200-230. I know that playing WZ is a bigger map with more stuff to render in and that's why I said the benchmark is TRASH
I'm curious why the 4k resolution was used? As I'd seen numerous channels test at lower Resolution when benchmarking. How about those on Many Nvdia 8gb cards and @ 1080 / 1440 for example, they may see a better increase? Appreciate idle pc while it tests to make adjustments would be highly time consuming. *Do you have to restart after the nvdia boost software has applied its settings, before testing? Thanks and like for your efforts.
Just did it on my new gigabyte 4070 super windforce oc and take gpu +128 and vram +200 and i have to say a big thank you for your build guide it helps me a lot
Hi Jason. Do you know if this does the same as automatic tuning in the nvidia overlay? When I ran that it took quite a while and it gave me a +200mhz clock boost
The only thing I really hate about the newNvidia app is if you enable overlay you can loose a lot of fps in some games. In some game it can cost me almost 20 fps and I have a Rtx 4090.
This is only useful assuming your GPU is bottlenecking, for some people their CPU is causing the bottleneck therefore making your GPU more powerful isn’t going to do anything
I use AMD's built-in tuning stuff to undervolt my video card. It really can help performance. Nvidia should have been doing it a long time ago. Thumbs up!
I remember this feature has been accessible for at least a year. However, it was not that much in sight, because it was hidden in the Nvidia Overlay (ALT+Z), and then you had to navigate to performance and then click on auto overclock.
It has been out for a long time in Beta like we cover in the video, but they officially launched it during Computex so we figured it was time to review it.
I'm just glad you can roll back the driver updates. I've been playing ghost of tsushima and it was running great at high settings, the update last week killed that so i rolled it back and it's back to great. Just be aware of this guy's, if a game suddenly starts running terrible, did you just do an update?
@3:26 i wonder if that option will be dangerous my Copper Modded 3090FE runs the core at 45c under a gaming load and hot spot on core never hitd above 65c the vram since having copper plates runs in mid 45c-60c if i stress it during AI upscaling workloads. If i can set a temp target aya like Nvidia's default temp target's would it take advantage of that extra Thermal Headroom i have.
Thanks for the super thanks! :) Thermal headroom is definitely one area that can give you the resources for a good overclock. Silicon quality (what we used to call the silicon lottery) and the amount that NVIDIA has already pushed that GPU is also part of it. It will differ by GPU model but already low thermals are a good place to start!
the sliders do something for performance, the power limit one at least since it will let you boost higher on the voltage curve if you are not voltage-limited. Doesn't change the OC result though since that is just moving the voltage/frequency curve up
Yes should definitely keep the power one slid all the way to the right. I did try the other sliders, even setting the GPU fan speed to 100% (very loud, do not recommend! maybe go 85% max) and it didn't seem to matter. It almost seemed to be somewhat random by just pushing the button over and over (warning! this takes a looooooong time). Kind of like re-rolling your character's DnD stats lol.
Excellent video! My version of the Nvidia App doesn't have the System tab, only Home, Drivers, Graphics, Redeem and Settings. How do I get this panel to overclock?
Make sure to update the NVIDIA App to the latest version. I've only used it with 40 series RTX GPUs so it is possible it isn't available for older GPUs but it doesn't say that in the release notes.
Arent Nvidia GPUs supposed to adjust their clocks automatically on the fly or is this feature missing on the current gen ones? Very confusing and above all unnecessary. Automatic undervolting would be a better choice for a "scan and set" type of app, since the GPU could never do it on its own.
There is a non-zero pixel failure rate for every Monitor company. However some have demonstrated better Quality control than others, and some have better RMA processes when you have a dead pixel. Typically most of the big companies now have a "zero dead pixel" return policy, but I can't say that I or anyone else has done any kind of empirical study of that. I try to recommend monitors from Companies I believe have at least decent customer service.
I'm one of those people who likes simplicity, but for GPU's it is pretty simple to UV and/or OC. I do a combo UV/OC. I get stock clocks/perf but I save 50 watts. For Nvidia, it really makes the most sense to do a UV/OC, because they definitely push their cards way too hard(at least for the 30 and 40 series cards I have tested).
I don't know if it works on there but you can try downloading the link in the video description. I can't imagine it would make much difference though even if it works.
I have a 7900xt and am looking forward to your video about properly navigating adrenaline. Thank you for all of your work. I have built 2 pc’s and I couldn’t have done it without your help!
I have a Plait Gamerock RTX 4090 with a power limit of 450W. My OC is simple: - Power limit: 85%. - Core clock: +120MHz. - Memory Clock: +600MHz - Fan Speed: 35%
Does the Nvidia auto GPU overclock factor in the kind of monitor that you are using in this benchmark say 4K vs 1440p vs 1080p to determine the best setting?
Using the Asus oc software on my RTX 4090, I have reached 3165 mhz on the core and plus 1800m on the memory in benchmarks. the nvidia oc app does not come close to the same figures.
Hey there! Thanks for another video! On your last video, I asked if it was worth switching from a 3090 FE to a 7900 GRE or XT for 5120x1440? I've noticed the 3090 struggle a bit and I think it could be the resolution at 240hz. If I was ever to make a switch, I think nows the time!
@@PCBuilderChannel 3Thank you for the response! but my question is, do you believe these cards to be better options at 5120x1440 in comparison to having a RTX 3090 FE?
This one only works with NVIDIA GPUs, but AMD has a 1-button auto overclock app already in their Adrenalin driver software package. Will be diving more into that in our upcoming GPU Overclocking guide.
Is there a way to effectively undervolt using this app the way you would in MSI Afterburner? I have a pretty beefy MSI Suprim X 3090 but just an 850W PSU with a ton of peripherals and things sapping power. I have a feeling it occasionally runs out of juice and crashes games, as my machine is pretty stable otherwise. The scanner with default settings cranked my GPU clocks and Memory by about 200mhz, but could I instead lower the power slider to still get a modest result that runs quieter/cooler more within my PSU's capabilities?
Every time I try to run the Overclock feature it stops and says "Automatic tuning was interrupted" I have nothing else running. Anyone else running into this issue? Reinstalled the app and the driver didn't help.
Right now, my Geforce RTX 4070 TI Super averages 120 fps in COD and the variants without overclocking anything. I've tried some OC using the software that came with the Zoltac 4070 TI Super (FireStorm) as well Afterburner, and actually find that Firestorm is not bad at all. Although, I'm not sure I care a lot about 1 - 5 % increases anyway. You can boost core and so on, but fan cooling the gpu becomes an issue, but the app allows for voltage increase or reduction. It's something that really takes the term pedantic to a new level! 😆
Great video man. I've never overclocked a GPU in my life and still never plan to. Prefer to run things as cool as possible and going for longevity over barely noticeable performance gains. I just buy a GPU that's a bit overkill for what I need and run it 😊
Hi I'm back here. I just tried out the Lossless Scaling on Steam.. it works on Elden Ring using my ol' 2019 Asus FX505DT with GTX 1650 R5 3550H.. Screen getting output of 120fps of 40fps natively... thoughts about it?
Hey bro love the videos as always, need some advice. I’m getting a i5 12400f+b660m for cheaper than a 5600x+b550m , what would be better for gaming ? And easier for upgrade down the 1440p path, pairing it with a 6700xt alongside 16gb cl16 DDR4
Hi is there a benchmark or game that will allow me to compare pre and after undervolt results easily? Like average fps and temps at the end, no need for logging.
Its actually been in beta way longer than that like we cover in the video but they officially launched it during Computex so I figured that was the time to review it. They decided it was officially ready.
81 auto oc compared to 79 stock. If this isn´t a good example to make anyone see that OC is worthless, period. But hey i guess whatever makes someone feel better is all that matters nowadays. The reality is, with boost clockspeeds on cpu/gpu being the norm hardware became incredible capable in stock form.. and the little you can get in addition from OCing is hardly worth it. Reason why they love to throw percentage numbers as using actual numbers would show what a bandaid it is.
when i was testing it out, it said my PC needs to be at idle. turns out wallpaper engine was causing that issue, so i disabled wallpaper engine and it worked, hope that helps for anyone.
i have a question. i don't have the app I have the GeForce experience. i didn't received it trough any update. So should I manually download it and use it?
The more I see the results - especially now from others - the more I think they just give +200 the VRAM by default, or maybe there is a lookup table that says RTX 4000 = +200, RTX 3000 = XXX, etc. But in no way are they actually testing the VRAM to provide that clock increase.
Overclocking is not worth it anymore for modern GPU ( 3000 series and higher ). You will just gain what ? 5 fps ? 7 fps at best ? But at the cost of more electrecity consumption and higher GPU temps. So you end up paying more for your electrecity usage AND having higher GPU temps only to gains 5 fps which make no difference in game. Higher temperatures also means your fans spin faster and louder.. it's also important. The best thing to do nowadays is to undervolt the GPU. A proper undervolting will lower your electrecity consumption and won't reduce any performance of your GPU by lowering the voltage of the GPU while maintaining a constant max clock. It will also greatly reduce your temperatures and your PC will be quieter. But to be honest, if your temps are okay, just keep your GPU stock.. don't even bother. Undervolt won't make a big difference in your wallet.. it won't even be noticable. It's more for people who suffer from high temperatures or want their fans to spin slower for the noise.
I'm sure they didn't want to make this seem like a direct copy of AMD's Adrenaline software; but I think they dropped the ball with the long benchmark time. If it was 5-10 seconds like Adrenaline, it would make it a no-brainer like PBO. (A little more performance for clicking this button? Why not?)
i did this and performance was a issue drop of frames but the over clock it auto clock wasn't the best turn back to my original OC settings no more performance issues
Nvidia app is worst, i used the autp overclocking function and my pc shut down lol and no im not new in overclocking, i even have plenty experience in it. I deleted the app and installed geforce experience again but the problem persist, i dont know whats that for bad software....
Yo Jason My MSI GeForce RTX 4070 GAMING X SLIM WHITE after benchmark : Core clock +117 MHz and VRAM frequency goes up same as your 4070Ti Super +200 MHz
