How To Underclock Your GPU [Simple Guide]
There are several reasons you might want to lower the clock of your GPU, whether it is the core or memory clock.
This guide will show you exactly how to underclock your GPU.
If you’re looking to use your PC as a more leisurely tool for browsing the web or perhaps enjoying multimedia such as movies and music, then underclocking can be a good option.
You might look to underclock your GPU if you have previously overclocked it and are either dissatisfied with the results or simply don’t need the additional power anymore.
Another good reason to underclock your GPU is if warmer summer months are approaching and you’re wary of the additional heat that might be introduced to your PC case. There are other ways to reduce the temperature of the PC, but underclocking your GPU is a surefire way to do it.
The reason for this is simple: if you lower the core clock and/or the memory clock of your GPU, it will need less power. If it draws less power from the PSU, that means it’s also generating less heat.
Naturally, less heat means a reduced chance of the GPU overheating and breaking down on you.
This could be another reason why you’re interested in underclocking to extend your graphics card lifespan. This is particularly useful if you’re looking to obtain a new GPU but are waiting for the release of a model you’re interested in.
With a lighter clock and less power being drawn, you should notice that your GPU fans are operating at a slower speed and are quieter.
If you intend to step away from gaming or other GPU-intensive tasks, you may be bothered by the loud fan noise. Underclocking your GPU should keep that in check.
Without further ado, let’s look at the step-by-step process of how to underclock your GPU.

Step 1 – Prepare Your Tools
Fortunately, the technology has evolved enough that you no longer need to enter BIOS and mess with the settings. Now, you can download a software solution and roll with that.
Important: there are many different applications that can be used to underclock your GPU, including EVGA Precision XOC, NZXT Cam, and ASUS GPU Tweak. Here, we’ll focus on the current best and the easiest one to use: MSI Afterburner.
Unlike overclocking, you don’t need additional software for benchmarking as you’re trying to reduce clock speeds and don’t need to measure FPS. Even so, it would be best to have some software for stress testing, as underclocking can make your PC work differently than before. Yes, it is possible to underclock too much.
As far as stress testing tools go, we recommend 3DMark, PassMark, or Heaven Unigine.
Step 2 – Lower Your Core Clock Speed
After launching MSI Afterburner, you will be greeted by a few options. You should pay close attention to the original position of the slider, as that will be the default value for your graphics card. However, there is also a reset button that can help you out if you mess up or forget the values you have changed.
To underclock, you need to either move the core clock slider to the left to its default place (the ‘+0’ position) or move it even further to get it lower than its factory clock. This will depend on your reason for underclocking your graphics card.
Once you have the core clock at your desired level, click “Apply”, and you can close the application if you don’t want to modify anything further. Be sure to toggle the small Windows icon to ensure that the settings will apply after every startup.
Step 3 – Underclock The Memory Clock (Optional)
You only need to perform this step if you have previously overclocked the memory clock. If you have only modified the core clock or haven’t overclocked anything and want to reduce the speed, you should leave the memory clock at its default value.
There aren’t many additional benefits of going below the default clock, while the main advantage is to retain the better-performing default clock.
Likewise, you should be careful when underclocking memory. This setting is a bit more delicate if you’re going below the factory clock and can cause instability.
GPU Underclock Is Not The Same As GPU Undervolt
It’s important to mention that these two are different processes, albeit related.
While underclocking your GPU can lead to less power consumption by lower clocks, undervolting is a method that will lower the incoming voltage while not interacting with the core and memory clock of the card.
You can use both, but we have to warn you that undervolting is much more likely to lead to system instability than underclocking. If you know what you’re doing, you can reduce the power consumption while still somewhat retaining the performance. As this is pretty tricky to pull off without causing instability, we don’t recommend it.
Who Should Underclock Their GPU
The reasons for underclocking are numerous, but the benefits are simple.
If you believe your GPU is overheating and other solutions haven’t worked, you should try to underclock it to see if that fixes the issue. This can happen as the graphics card becomes older and the thermal paste weakens and has issues conducting heat.
Another reason is that games have evolved past your GPU’s capability of effectively displaying them, despite your best efforts to optimize them and work past stuttering.
You might be surprised by how significantly airflow in the case can cause the GPU to overheat, as well as outside temperatures. If you live in areas with clearly defined seasonal changes and where room temperature can vary around your PC, you might be affected by overheating issues. Underclocking can be a useful tool if you anticipate warmer weather approaching.
Finally, and this may be the saddest reason, it’s possible that your graphics card has had its day. It might have served you well for years, but after all that time struggling to keep the latest games running at a high resolution, it might be time to upgrade.
If you’re aware that a new series of GPUs is coming and can hold on a while longer and accept that your PC is now primarily a web-browsing machine, underclocking could be a good option.
How To Overclock GPU With MSI Afterburner
Not every graphics card performs to its full potential out of the box. Depending on how the silicon lottery plays out, you might get a card that can get a significant performance boost with overclocking.
Be warned: it’s still a delicate process even with software like MSI Afterburner that makes it easier to overclock and manage your GPU. Pushing your GPU too hard could lead to unstable performance or even damage the card.
What Is MSI Afterburner?
MSI Afterburner is a program designed to help you manage your GPU and change it once it’s installed in your computer. With it, you can create fan curves, change the fan speed, adjust the voltage, and increase or decrease the card’s clock speed. Each of these makes a difference when you’re ready to overclock.
MSI Afterburner is a free program that works with cards from many manufacturers – not just MSI-branded cards. It can both overclock and underclock your GPU.
What Is Overclocking?
Overclocking a GPU increases the clock speed, which usually requires a bump in the voltage. There are a few things it may be helpful to know before you start trying to overclock your GPU.
- The temperature of your card can go pretty high, but there’s a limit to how much it can handle. When a GPU gets too hot, you might notice instabilities in the program you’re using. It can also make the card, computer, or program shut down. Maintaining a too-high temperature for too long can damage the card.
Overclocking heats up the card, so you have to consider ways to lower the temperature as you work on it. You don’t want to push the temperature beyond 80 to 90 degrees for many graphics cards. Try to keep it on the lower side to prolong its life. - When you overclock your card, you have to increase the voltage. Increasing the voltage will also raise your electric bill and heat up the card. Pushing the voltage too high can severely damage or completely ruin your card. Take it very slowly.
- Changing the clock speed of your card is what changes the performance. Pushing it up will let the card deliver more performance. Lowering it will decrease the performance but keep the card cooler overall.
- Sometimes changing something in your setup might have unexpected consequences. For example, you would think undervolting would lower your performance. But in some cases, it will actually raise your boost clock and increase performance.
Overclocking is not as simple as launching MSI Afterburner, inputting new values, and closing it. You need to test your overclock to see whether it’s stable. Even if a new setup appears to be working, you don’t know how it will react when the graphics card is put under stress.
How to Overclock Your GPU
If you’re using MSI Afterburner to overclock your graphics card, ensure that you have the software installed and your graphics card active before working on your changes.
- Launch MSI Afterburner.
- Click the Settings option in the sidebar.
- Uncheck Unlock Voltage Control.
- Uncheck Unlock Voltage Monitoring.
- Uncheck Force Constant Voltage.
- Click Yes when prompted to restart MSI Afterburner. This is necessary for the changes you’ve selected to work.
- Return to the Settings area and select the Fan tab.
- Select Enable User Defined Software Automatic Fan Control.
- Click the graph areas that correspond with the temperature at which you want the fan speed to increase. It should be a line going up to increase the fan speed as temperatures rise.
- Save your settings.
- Click the gear icon and the Auto option on the lower right side of the screen. You want to use the top of the two similar options.
- Click the chain icon between the Power Limit and Temperature limit options. Both of these should be linked.
- Drag your Core Voltage and Power Limit sliders up. You should move them to their max values.
- Save your settings.
- Click the OC Scanner button.
- Click Scan.
- Write down the core clock and memory overclock values when the scan finishes.
- Click the check button.
- Click the disk icon.
- Choose a number to save these results as a profile.
At this point, you’ve applied an overclock to your GPU with MSI Afterburner. However, you aren’t done yet. Overclocking is all about testing and adjustments. You need to test your overclock and then decide how to adjust the settings based on those results.
The scan can take quite a while, so don’t plan to do anything else with your computer for up to an hour. You want all the resources of your GPU focused on the stress test.
Testing and Adjusting Your Overclock
You can’t test your overclock with MSI Afterburner. However, MSI offers another program for GPU stress testing called MSI Combuster. If you want to refine your overclock and keep your graphics card operating safely, use this or another stress tester to see whether it’s a good overclock.
- Open MSI Afterburner.
- Input the numbers for the core and memory clock values into the slider.
- Launch MSI Kombuster.
- Select Display OSI.
- Select Artifact Scanner.
- Click RUN Stress Test.
- Read the results to see whether artifacts were found. If they weren’t, you could try increasing your overclock. If they were, you should decrease it. You make these changes on MSI Afterburner.
- Click the check icon on MSI Afterburner to set the new numbers.
- Rerun MSI Kombuster to check for artifacts. You can keep increasing your numbers until it sees artifacts or your card and computer start to run poorly – which they shouldn’t if there aren’t artifacts and your temperatures are reasonable.
- Adjust the numbers again, save them, and run MSI Kombuster again until you find the right balance between quality and performance.
You can move the numbers up 15 Hz at a time on the core clock and 35 at a time on the memory clock. Don’t try to do more significant leaps because it might be harder to find the sweet spot for your overclock.
It can also be helpful to adjust the core clock and memory clock separately, running MSI Kombuster repeatedly until you find the correct core clock and setting that before testing the memory clock. It takes longer, perhaps, but helps remove some sources of uncertainty.
Once you’ve got the correct numbers, save your overclock as a profile on MSI Afterburner.
Do I Have to Use MSI OC Scanner?
You can absolutely manually overclock your GPU without going through the MSI OC Scanner utility. If you’d rather do that, perform the following steps.
- Launch MSI Afterburner.
- Drag the Power Limit slider to increase the voltage the GPU can draw. You don’t want to set your voltage too high at the beginning. A 10 or 15 percent increase should do.
- Increase the Core Clock slider by 15 MHz. Increase the Memory Clock by 25 MHz.
- Save your settings.
- Stress test your GPU or play a game that will push its limits to see whether your overclock is stable.
One of the most important things you can do with a manual overclock is watch your temperatures while you’re testing. Temperatures that are too high are signs that your overclock isn’t stable. Turn it down as soon as you notice this. You do not want to damage your card.
Testing Your Overclock
It isn’t enough to stress test your GPU. Once you’ve found a stable overclock, you need to put it to the test in various programs.
Games and stress tests operate differently. There are more variables involved in many games that perform very different functions. Settings that work with MSI Kombuster might still create problems in games. You cannot skip video games or heavy-duty program testing when trying to make a stable overclock.
Here are some things to look out for when testing an overclock in a video game.
- Watch the temperature of your graphics card while you’re playing. If it gets too hot, you can try to lower the graphics quality. However, this kind of removes the benefits of overclocking the GPU. A graphics card that’s heating up too much in a standard program is probably overclocked too high unless something else is wrong with it.
- You might notice problems with the graphics in the game. Look for strange images, screen tearing, ghosting, and other issues that make it difficult to see things.
- Sometimes your computer or a game will shut down when the GPU is experiencing issues. It isn’t something you might find in the first 15 minutes, so testing can take a few hours to see what happens. It’s best to choose a game you’ve played many times and know is stable on your original settings. That way, you know it’s a GPU issue and not a problem with the game.
Over time, you may need to adjust your overclock. Games get more demanding, parts because warped or unclean, and other factors can prevent your overclock from working correctly. Keep an eye on your temperatures and the performance of your programs. If you notice any significant issues, try to adjust your overclock to see if the problems diminish.
How to Overclock Your GPU (Graphics Card) in 6 Steps
Clock speed measures the number of processing cycles per second your card can handle, and is set by the manufacturer. Increasing the clock speed results in more computing power and a smoother, better gaming experience, but it can also raise your GPU temperature.
What you need to overclock your GPU
Overclocking is fairly straightforward and doesn’t cost much. You need just two tools to overclock your GPU: one to handle the actual overclock, and another to test performance. You’ll use the overclocking tool to raise your GPU’s clock rate and the testing tool to benchmark and measure the performance impact of the change.
First, you should make sure your PC is optimized from the ground up, and ready to run its best. Read on to learn more about what you need to overclock your GPU, or jump straight to our step-by-step instructions.
1. One of the best overclocking tools
The best tool for overclocking your video card is MSI Afterburner — it’s easy to use, includes a skinnable interface if you like to modify things, and is constantly updated with the latest GPUs.
There’s also a beta channel you can try if you’ve just bought a card based on new architecture. You can always get the latest beta releases on Guru3D.
2. A benchmark or stress-test tool
Overclocking your video card pushes it to its limit and increases its temperature, so you need a tool to benchmark performance and make sure you’re not putting it through too much stress. Benchmarking and stress testing help ensure stability while gaming.
3DMark and Furmark are our picks for the best GPU benchmarking tools.
While overclocking is fairly easy, be patient and test and tweak to find the right balance of performance, temperature, and compatibility with the games you play. You might think you’ve reached the perfect GPU or CPU overclock only to find your favorite game like GTA V crashing after just a few minutes. If that happens, try a slightly lower lock rate, and then test again.
How to overclock my GPU
First, open your GPU overclocking tool — here we’re using MSI Afterburner. The main dashboard will display your graphics chip’s current clock speed (its GPU Clock) and its memory (Mem Clock). On the right side you’ll see the temperature. Temps will differ from PC to PC, but as a rule of thumb, avoid GPU and CPU temperatures above 90°C.
The sliders in the middle of the dash control the basic overclocking readings:
-
Core voltage: The voltage level that goes into your graphics card — this may not be available on newer cards.
-
Power level: The power slider lets your card draw more power from your power supply unit (PSU). For example, if your card is limited by default to 200 watts, you can increase this to 240 watts by setting it to 120 (20% higher). You may need to do this if you want to overclock your card further (but this will increase the temperature).
-
Core clock: The core clock gauge lets you specify your desired clock rate. You’ll adjust this a lot as you try to find the optimal setting.
-
Memory clock: The memory clock is like your core clock, but measures your GPU memory.
1. Benchmark your current settings
Run either 3DMark or Furmark and check your current performance. That lets you benchmark your performance, temperature, clock speeds, and FPS. Write down these numbers, or take a screenshot — it’ll help you compare later.
2. Overclock your GPU chip
It’s important to start slowly when overclocking your video card — raise the core clock rate incrementally by 5% and test for any unusual graphical artifacts like glitches, streaks, or even crashes. At a level of 5%, performance should stay stable, but you likely won’t see much improvement. But this minor overclock helps you quickly check for any potential issues.
3. Overclock your GPU memory
Memory is as important as the core GPU clock — even more so in games with gigabytes of textures. Try overclocking GPU memory by 10%, or by 50 to 100 MHz. Anything below 10% should still give stable performance.
If your computer crashes or if your games start malfunctioning, your hardware may not be designed for overlocking at all — or you may need to increase your computer’s temperature limit.
4. Fine-tune
After gently testing the core clock and memory clock rate, continue fine-tuning by increasing your GPU overclock by 10 MHz. Each time, test for stability and performance, and then repeat. Run a benchmark, stress test, or a game for a few hours and check for issues and monitor improvements.
If Windows freezes or reboots, you’ve reached your GPU overclocking limit. If that happens, reduce your clock by 10 to 20 MHz. Running an overclock so close to the crashing point means you’ll hit a wall after only a couple hours of gameplay.
For example, our Titan Xp graphics card performs well at +200 MHz on the core clock, but it gets too hot after two or three hours of playing Ark, Final Fantasy 15, Dark Souls, or The Witcher 3 in 4K. So we usually run it at 170 MHz to be safe.
Once you’ve found a stable core clock, do the same with the memory clock. But don’t test your core clock and memory clock at the same time, because if something goes wrong you won’t know which clock setting is responsible.
5. Increase the power limit
Once you’ve hit your limit, you can either keep your clock where it is, or you can turn up the Power Limit and Temperature Limit toggles in MSI Afterburner and see what happens.
Start your game now. Even without overclocking, you’ll likely notice your computer fans getting louder, and your GPU won’t reduce its clock as fast or as drastically. Use MSI Afterburner’s RivaTuner, which comes with the overclocking tools package, to check your GPU’s performance.
Enable and configure the onscreen display so you can monitor your GPU’s clock rate and other data while you’re gaming or using your benchmarking tools.
By default, both Titan Xp GPUs in the PC we use for testing clock up to 1823 MHz when playing The Witcher 3. And they drop down to slightly above 1600 MHz after an hour or so, when the temperature is at its peak. But when we use a higher power limit and temperature limit, we don’t see this throttling anymore, and with the right overclock, we never drop below that optimal 2000 MHz level.
6. Fine-tune (again) and test
After unlocking even more power, increase your GPU overclock again by 10 MHz and test each time. Your card will probably soar past its previous crash point. On our gaming PC, we achieved a GPU overclock of +170 MHz to +450 MHz. Finding the sweet spot took us a lot of fine-tuning, so be patient to get the best results.
Once you find a stable clock, benchmark your system again with 3DMark or Furmark. Benchmark your favorite games, too. You’ll see a difference both in numbers and in actual gameplay. You can also use a number of other methods to test your PC’s performance when overclocked.
Does GPU overclocking really work?
Yes, overclocking your GPU will usually improve the performance of your games and media apps. More powerful systems may see less of a benefit from overclocking the graphics card, but if your games typically run at 40 or 50 FPS, an overclock will result in visible improvements.
Your GPU isn’t the only bit of hardware inside your PC that can benefit from a tuneup. And depending on the hardware you have, apps you use, and games you play, a specialized optimization tool like AVG TuneUp will help you get faster performance and more storage space automatically.

Does overclocking GPU increase FPS?
Yes, one of the main benefits of overclocking your GPU is that it increases FPS for smoother, sharper graphics. The added computing power from a GPU overclock helps your graphics card crank out more FPS at higher resolutions.
Is it safe to overclock your GPU?
Yes, GPU overclocking is safe. While overclocking increases the temperature and stress on your GPU, don’t worry, failsafe mechanisms will kick in before the stress is too much. If your computer can’t handle the overclock, it will simply crash or freeze. And if that happens, lower your GPU overclock a bit and test again.
Running at significantly higher clocks could, in theory, reduce your PC’s lifespan. But we haven’t seen any significant data on the impact of GPU overclocking. Personally, I’ve been overclocking my Titan Xp cards constantly for about a year without any problems.
How to overclock your GPU safely?
To safely overclock your GPU, go slowly in increments of 10 MHz, and test your system for stability and performance after each adjustment. If your system fails or struggles to deliver smooth performance, lower your overclock by 10 or 20 MHz, then test again. Once you know your maximum GPU overclock frequency, repeat the process with the GPU memory.
Should I overclock my graphic card?
Depending on the strength of your graphics card and how powerful a computer you need, overclocking may not be worth the effort. But because GPU overclocking boosts FPS and helps improve the performance of games, it usually offers strong benefits for gamers and even multimedia editors.
What are the most common mistakes when overclocking?
-
Going too fast: If you raise your clock frequencies too quickly, you’ll likely experience crashes, glitches, or even a black screen.
-
Not testing: Failing to test after each incremental clock increase prevents you from monitoring system performance at given clock speeds. It’s easy to go too far if you don’t test properly.
-
Overheating: Overclocking your GPU increases its heat output. You’ll want a custom-made card with sufficient cooling ability, or even a water-cooling system in your PC, to protect your computer from overheating.
-
Auto-overclocking: Your GPU works harder when it’s overclocked, so you don’t need to overclock it continuously. Use MSI Afterburner’s profile system to save your overclock, and use it only when running a demanding game or application.
-
Expecting too much: Even when overclocked, an older GPU will never match the performance of the latest high-end cards. At most, you can expect performance to increase by 10 to 20%.
Can you overclock a laptop GPU?
Yes, you can overclock a laptop. Mobile GPUs are limited in performance, and overclocking is a great way to improve performance. We increased the FPS of our Microsoft Surface Book, which uses a GeForce 965 GTX card, by 25%.
But while desktop GPUs usually have adequate cooling systems, mobile GPUs produce a lot of heat in a much smaller case — so you’ll quickly hit their thermal limits. Also, running at higher clock speeds increases power consumption, so your battery won’t last as long.
Can’t I just Google the overclock numbers for my graphics card and skip all that?
While you can look up other people’s GPU overclock speeds for the graphics card you have, their results may not work for you. This is because of chip lottery — not all GPU and memory chips are manufactured identically on a microscopic level. The material quality and lithography may vary enough that higher temps, voltage, and overall power can’t be matched.
Also, other equipment in your PC can significantly affect your overclock potential. A customized gaming PC with a full water-cooling system can easily support a higher overclock than another machine with only default factory components.
Can’t I just buy a pre-overclocked card?
While you can buy pre-overclocked GPUs, you’ll still want to try overclocking them yourself. Alongside the leading graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD, most other graphics cards are manufactured by third parties like EVGA, MSI, or Gigabyte.
These cards use the same NVIDIA or AMD chips, such as a GeForce 1080 Ti, but their cooling systems, power supplies, transistors, and boards are often designed to clock up higher. That’s why you’ll see a 1080 Ti GPU from many different manufacturers — and even the same manufacturer might offer many different versions.
These graphics cards range from identical matches to high-end models with advanced cooling, higher-quality power supplies, and RGB lighting. Such cards may be factory overclocked by 10 to 20%. But you can still manually overclock these cards even further — we’ve seen even higher-clocked cards go up by another 15%.
Optimize your entire PC
Overclocking your graphics card is just one way to get a faster and more powerful PC. Streamline your whole computer with AVG TuneUp — the comprehensive PC optimization toolkit. It’ll automatically hunt down junk files, unused apps, and other unneeded data while snoozing background apps to give you the fastest PC possible.

MSI Afterburner Auto Overclock — More Performance in One Click!
admin Posted on Posted in PC Components, Tutorials Tagged with GPU Overclocking, MSI Afterburner, msi afterburner auto overclock
Overclocking for Dummies.
MSI Post OVERCLOCK – MSI Afterburner
MSI Afterburner – GPU Overclocking
What is MSI Afterburner?
MSI Afterburner is a freeware piece of software that is incredibly easy to use and so powerful it should be payware. It is also incredibly safe to use, this software finely controls all items such as fan curves, GPU clock speed and GPU memory speeds.
MSI auto fan control to ensure your valuable GPU remains cool. There is also an option of manually programmed fan curves. These can dictate when the fan increases its rpm to maintain a cooler GPU. Its a balance between noise vs performance is the balance with fans.
MSI afterburner auto overclock feature is not an old feature but of recent times it has had some tweaks to make it even better than it was now overclocking both GPU and memory at one time. This makes it very easy and effective to squeeze a few more fps out for free without and worries.
Is Overclocking Safe?
Today’s GPU as well as CPU’S are tightly managed by software and its pretty hard to damage a GPU. They all have boost performance built into them so they do push up from the stock rated speeds if this is enables. If you choose to manually set higher than the GPU or CPU can maintain it will likely crash the driver and crash to desktop or just freeze. Resetting the PC will return it to pre over locked settings and you can continue.
WARNING: NEVER save your overclocking profile as the one MSI starts with. It may stop you getting into MSI and may need to be removed and reinstalled. MSI is pretty smart and mayn’t allow the bad setting to be used but take note.
Heat is your Enemy!
Heat is Your Enemy!
The primary concern is heat when overclocking. This is a primary consideration that MSI afterburner auto overclock considers so have great cooling. This will ensure your GPU and CPU both can perform at their best safely. If they are cool they can increase to their maximum clock speeds and stay there till they get to warm then the CPU/GPU may clock down to remain safe.
What Is Overclocking?
What is overclocking and what can it achieve? Overclocking is the process of tuning your GPU (graphics Card) to get the most performance it can deliver. It encompasses adding power as required then adding more and more GPU clock speed and memory clock speed till you find the max your GPU can offer.
This process also increases the heat in your GPU but generally the Auto Fan function can manage this for you. If you want you can manually adjust the fan curve so it ramps up earlier.
How Much Performance Can I Get?
If your expecting enough performance boost to get the performance of a 3080 with a 3070 then no. It’s not going to give you that much boost but will give you everything the card you have has to offer in performance.
How do you Manually Overclock?
Manual Overclocking.
MSI afterburner auto overclock is easy but many like to manually control their own overclock. This is achieved by adjusting the max power slider to 100%. This just allows the GPU to have as much power as.it requires. This doesn’t force more power than the GPU needs. It simply says you can have as much as you need to a set limit. Mostly the GPU wont need the max anyway.
Start by slowly increasing the GPU core clock slider and testing with MSI’s own stress tester called Kombustor. This testing has to be methodical each time you manually change a setting as you slowly look for the limit of your GPU. This is going to take some time testing and adjusting manually.
Komustor Testing.
Msi Kombustor Stress Testing
MSI Kombustor is a stress testing software that is a separate download but again it is freeware. It links to MSI afterburners GUI (Graphical User Interface) when installed. It will push your GPU to its limit! Generally as you approach its max performance the screen may have artifacting as in the picture below. You are just exceeding what the GPU can deliver at this point.
Artifacting is Exceeding the GPU Limit.
Artifacting is when the screen shows white spots and the picture is starting to breakup. This won’t hurt your GPU. All you do is lower the slider by say 25 and save the setting if your manually overclocking.
The next step is move on to the memory slider and work up in steps of say 50 till you get artifacting happening again.
Do not save settings till your sure they are OK. Write them down as you go to save you getting locked out of your pc or having to delete and reinstall MSI Afterburner.
MSI Afterburner Auto overclock!
MSI AUTO OVERCLOCK
Preparation is key even using MSI afterburner auto overclock. There are a couple things to do first before starting the one click overclocking process.
- Core Voltage to +100 (Yellow Box Above).
- Unlock Voltage Control. (Yellow Box Below).
- Unlock Voltage Monitoring. (Yellow Box Below).
- Power Limit Move to Max. (Red Box Above).
- Temp Limit to Max 88 (Red Box Above).
The setup is very simple to prepare for manually overclocking. Ticking these few boxes allows you the ability to free to adjust lower and temp levels etc.
The next step is simply select the OC button on the user interface on the left side. The auto overclock feature wall open up. Click on the start button or OC button and sit back and relax.
This process constantly checks the GPU clock speed against voltage required to maintain it at every step as it increases. GPU memory speeds can be tuned at the same time as core frequency. This ensures GPU frequency and memory frequency can be maintained with a given limits.
It constantly monitors temperatures and the card will increase fan speeds as required. This process took over 20 minutes to complete. On completion the settings are added to the MSI interface and can save the setting in one of the five storage areas on the right of the GUI.

The base clock of a CPU/ GPU means the minimal speed in which it processes its operations. The processor mostly runs on the base clock which projects a standard clock speed without the auto-voltage bump.
Whereas the boost clock elevates the normal speed of the processor to its highest possible speed which is temporary and occurs only when a heavy load is applied on the CPU which tends to increase the power consumption and temperature in addition to auto voltage bump.
The difference between the core clock vs memory clock in a GPU
The memory clock is actually the frequency of the VRAM present on the graphics card, it gives us the number of transfers of data from VRAM to GPU in one second. Whereas the frequency of the actual GPU chip on a graphics card is the core clock, it projects the execution of the amount of instruction by the GPU chip per second.
The difference between boost clock vs overclock
The boost clock is the boost of the processing speed done by the processor automatically itself to provide high performance under heavy load and overclocking means a manual increase in the speed which pushes the processor up to its ultimate limits.
Is higher boost clock better GPU?
Definitely, because the GPU without overclocking with a high boost clock will be very crucial for a graphics card to elevates the performance to the highest point when it is required due to its heavy load this boost of frequency will be an automatic and a safe boost by the GPU itself.
The difference between game clock vs boost clock.
The addition of a new type of clock by AMD which is called the game clock which is presented as the minimal frequency where the pc games are expected to run on, these game clock is typically based on the gaming scenario. Whereas the boost clock is the boost in the frequency of the GPU on heavy load to achieve better performance.
What is MSI afterburner?
It is software that allows users to monitor and control the numerous graphics card functions, which is mostly required to have a check on the running of the graphics card and also to manually overclock the graphics card to enhance the performance.
Core clock or boost clock which clock matters the?
Both core and boost clock matters in a different way, the core clock is provided minimum frequency for most of the computing period but the boost clock provides high frequency fixed time of heavy load so in conclusion core clock vs boost clock which matters isn’t the point, it should be balancing of each other well.
FAQ
Does boost clock matters in GPU?
Nope, it doesn’t really matter because the GPU boost clock explained by us previously that it can be overclocked manually later. We already discussed Core Clock vs Boost Clock in this article.
What does boost clock means?
The frequency of the card will boost to gain maximum performance automatically. We already discussed Core Clock vs Boost Clock in this article.
What is the difference between clock rate and FLOPS ?
Basically clock rate means the ultimate frequency required carrying out to register the logic and FLOPS (Floating Point Operations Per Second) is the actual rate of exercise carried out. To get more FLOPS the speed of the clock should be more with high power.
What is boost clock of CPU ?
When the CPU is under heavy load to increase the performance the CPU has to operates with ultimate power and so it can choose to boost up its clock speed to 1 or more CPU cores.
- Is overclocking GPU safe? How do I overclock?
Overclocking GPU is a very unstable exercise carry out on your GPU because it’s totally dependent on how much stress the GPU can carry which is primarily based on the GPU’s capacity, frequency, and power supply which tends to increase the thermal temperature of the GPU which indirectly reduce its life span.
Download MSI afterburner and Click open
Click on the General tab in Afterburner and tick Unlock voltage control, Unlock voltage monitoring, and Force constant voltage.
Click on OK. You have to restart the system
Once you’ve come back from your restart, open MSI Afterburner, and Unigine Heaven again.
- This time, reduce the temperature limit to 87 degrees.
- You should notice that your power limit (%) slider also goes up.
- Put the core voltage (%) slider all the way to the right. The percentage you get will be dependent on your graphics card.
- Finally, click the Check button underneath the sliders.
Here’s an image of the settings you should have. These settings ensure you can get the highest clock speed possible while still staying within a safe temperature range.
Stress Testing Your Graphics Card
Now that you have the optimal MSI Afterburner settings, start by moving the core clock (MHz) slider to the right. Add +23 to the number and click the check button.
Next, run Heaven Benchmark 4.0 and click the Benchmark button again. Go through the 26 scenes and wait for your test results. You should notice your score improves slightly from last time.
As you can see from the image below, our first test improved our average frames and test score slightly. You should also see an improvement, and you may notice a 1-2 degree increase in temperature during the test.
This is just the beginning. The next steps will involve you pushing your graphics card to the limit. Follow the steps below to overclock your graphics card to its full potential.
- Add an additional 20-30 to your clock speed.
- Run Heaven Benchmark 4.0 again
- Click the benchmark button and complete all 26 scenes
- If your PC doesn’t crash and you don’t notice any graphical glitches, repeat from step 1
If your PC Crashes or you notice graphical problems: Don’t worry – It’s completely normal. Simply open MSI Afterburner again and lower the clock speed by 30. This will be your optimal clock speed.
Final Steps for Overclocking Your GPU
You’ve almost completed your overclocking. If you’d like, you can repeat the steps above for your memory clock as well. However, most new graphics cards have enough memory as it is, so it won’t provide as much of a performance boost in games.
Once you’re finished with overclocking, click the Save icon on MSI Afterburner and then click a number to assign it to that slot to save your settings. You can now automatically load up these settings each time you want to have better performance while playing your favorite games.
The final test is to try out your new overclocked graphics card in your favorite games. In most cases, you’ll find that performance will be improved.
Some games may not work as well with overclocked settings, so if you notice graphical glitches or your game crashes, simply click the reset button to go back to default settings.

Summary
Downclocking your AMD or Nvidia graphics card may seem rather counterintuitive but there are reasons for wanting to do so. Maybe it’s to lower your electricity bills, with ever-increasing costs and it not being all so eco-friendly then it might be a worry for you. Or if you want to preserve your GPU and make sure your one can at least outlast this shortage so you could find a new one if needed.
Messing with the settings of your card may seem worrying but we promise you it’s not that hard or dangerous. We show you the way to easily underclock your GPU with just the installation and use of one software MSI Afterburner. After this, you’ll have acquired greater control of your hardware and become more of a computer whiz.
Is it possible for you to underclock your GPU?
The answer is a simple yes, as easy as over you can underclock your GPU. In a world of overclocking and ever-increasing performance, it is an interesting question but it may be a good idea.
If you’re looking for ways to safely underclock your GPU, then you are in the right place! Here, we talk about the benefits of underclocking a GPU and a detailed step-by-step process on how to do it right. Either to underclock your Nvidia or AMD GPU.
Before we go to the actual process, let’s check whether or not you need an underclocked GPU.
Do you need to underclock your GPU?
While most gamers overclock their rig (both CPU and GPU) to get a performance boost. Underclocking your graphics card means lowering the clock rate. This means slowing down how fast the core processes its tasks and slowing its computation speed down.
If you use your computer mostly to browse the internet or only do mild gaming, underclocking your GPU is fine and a good option. So if you’re not utilizing your GPU to 100% or have more performance than you need you can underclock your GPU with ease.
This should reflect lower electricity bills with your GPU having to use less power working in its less powerful state. Another reason to underclock your graphics card is to decrease the temperature of your card. All that computing gives off plenty of heat, especially with rising TDPs of newer components.
Temperatures during warmer seasons and hotter climates could raise the temperature of your build by many degrees. Other factors that contribute to such an increase in temperature include having poorly optimized airflow and limited cooling systems that may have gone uncleaned for a while.
Alongside poor airflow and clogged cooling, you may need to replace the thermal paste. After a few years, the original paste may become less effective and dry. So replacing it will mean a better connection between the die and cooling plate.
So what are the benefits of underclocking the GPU
- Lower power consumption – lowering the clock speeds of your GPU leads to running the hardware at a slower pace – which means it consumes less power.
- Cooler GPU – Since your hardware is running at lower speeds, so your graphics card is not running at maximum. This results in it running at lower temperatures which means less heat dissipated into your room.
- A more silent fan – With lower temperatures, you hear less noise from the fans. A GPU fan curve doesn’t turn on until a certain load or temperature. So if you’re running it lower you can find a quieter system overall.
- Preserving your hardware – running your card underpowered will increase its lifespan. Without pushing your hardware you’ll preserve its lifetime especially handy when it’s hard to get a new one.
If you are certain you will benefit by underclocking your graphics card, then proceed to the steps below.

Culture, Culture news, Movies and series, Celebrities, Louis Leterrier, stars, Vin Diesel (Mark Sinclair Vincent)
MOSCOW, May 4 — RIA Novosti. The new director of the tenth «Fast and the Furious» was Louis Leterrier, Variety reports citing its sources.
The terms of the deal are still being worked out, but if all goes well, the full production of the action film could be resumed in the near future, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Leterrier is known to viewers for the films «Illusion of Deception», «Clash of the Titans», «The Incredible Hulk», «Transporter 2» and others.
The director will replace Justin Lin, who left the project just a few days after production began. The latter announced his decision at the end of April, but did not disclose details. Insiders told The Hollywood Reporter what could have been the reason for his dismissal.
According to the media, the script was constantly being edited. One of the key locations in Eastern Europe was removed due to the events in Ukraine. In addition, the creators of the tape have not decided on the main villain. In addition, Universal Studios decided to send the script to another writer to improve the dialogue, and Lin was not enthusiastic about this idea. He also had serious disagreements with Vin Diesel (leader and producer).
Lin ended up walking out of a meeting with his colleagues saying, «This film is not worth my mental health.»
Lin and Diesel declined to comment. Universal responded to a reporter’s request.
«The creative differences that led to Justin Lin’s departure were with the studio and not with any other producers, cast or crew,» a company spokesman said.
Fast & Furious 10 is scheduled to premiere in May 2023.

on May 20 in cinemas, May 20 in cinemas begins to show in cinemas Fast & Furious 9, the new installment in one of the most successful franchises in film history. Justin Lin returned to the director’s chair, having already been involved in the project from the third to the sixth part. The composition of the main characters has changed again — which is not uncommon for the saga, in general: after all, the main thing here is not the characters, but the cars they drive, and the speed with which the plot develops.

Domenic Toretto, a recurring character in the saga, played as usual by Vin Diesel, is at the center of the action. Judging by the synopsis, the action will revolve around his relationship with his own brother — difficult and very controversial. In addition to Diesel, the film also starred Michelle Rodriguez (she played his character’s faithful fighting girlfriend), Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron.
But the main thing to expect from the ninth part is a lot of surprises and paradoxes. Still, something, but the creators of «Fast and the Furious» know how to surprise. You can be one hundred percent sure of two things — the new Fast and the Furious will be as fast and lively as all the previous parts. And it will definitely not be the last: the tenth tape has already been announced, and there the launch of the eleventh is just around the corner.

Bentley Continental GT Speed: One of the Fast and the Furious
Contrasting color exterior highlights of the Black Edition. They come in four colors to choose from: Hallmark, Beluga, St. James’ Red and Cyber Yellow / Bentley Motors
In the eighth «Fast and the Furious» Bentley Continental GT Speed is the hero of the episode: he participates in one of the most spectacular scenes where the team of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), who unexpectedly defected to the enemy, tries to stop his former leader, surrounding and harpooning his pumped-up Plymouth Roadrunner GTX 440. After a short fight, the Bentley GT Speed is on the shoulder blades, but the main thing is that he is in the club. Not only the fastest and most powerful road cars, but also the most charismatic (more precisely, the most “boyish”), because Fast and Furious + is not taken for technical characteristics alone.
It has a special paint job for the film, but our test GT Speed is also special in the Black Edition: it is the color of wet asphalt, and the mirrors, sills, front splitter, rear diffuser and brake calipers are painted deep red (Bentley calls it St James ‘Red). Fiery inserts and stitching in perforated black leather also mark the interior, in which the brand’s traditional values (like Breitling watches) are complemented by such «sporty» elements as carbon-fiber parts of the dashboard.
Design, perhaps, for an amateur, it may seem too flashy, but for the street racing fetish — what you need. So we understand the movie’s hero’s delight in this luxurious toy from the supercar garage, which in Fast and the Furious 8 looks just like the Children’s World store, only for adults.
Here is a GT Speed Black Edition, all on show-offs, and with one look it shows that there is enough dope under this hood for everything — even if you want to drive a bank safe on this car (in one of the Fast and the Furious series there was such a thing) or chase, for example, with an airplane. The law of the genre here is exactly the same as in racing films: in the new series, the stunts must be cooler, and in the new car, even more horsepower. And if the previous Continental GT Speed developed 610 hp. With. and 750 N / m, then the new version already produces 642 liters. With. and a torque of 840 N / m.
Theoretically, the GT Speed can be driven to a mind-blowing 332 km/h, and this is already the top league of select supercars — a club for those who are over 200 mph. In fact, such figures are already far beyond common sense, especially if you recalculate power into taxes. Therefore, it remains to recognize that such cars are art for art’s sake, and discuss them not as a means of transportation and not even as a luxury, but as art objects. It’s like you bought, say, Andy Warhol’s work (he also made series), but you can not only admire it, but also ride it every day. And it’s not that weird. You get used to it surprisingly quickly.
In Russia, the speeds that Bentley is capable of developing are, of course, illegal, but it was not easy to stay within the permitted limits, and after the test we received three fines for exceeding: it’s worth pushing the gas a little harder while overtaking, and GT Speed is already breaking out of the traffic rules . Moreover, not only the driver wants to go faster — the excitement is felt even in the front passenger seat, from where, after shock acceleration, one hears: “Come on like that again!” The only thing that makes you upset is rutting, to which Bentley, with its spectacular 21-inch wheels in body color, reacts rather nervously. There are no questions about powerful and precise brakes.
But if the cannon-like dynamics (4.1 s to 100 km/h!) of the Bentley Continental GT Speed are taken for granted, the ease of handling seems like a joke: how come you just sat down and drove off? No need to adjust at all? Really not necessary — and even the most powerful GT Speed is the flesh of the flesh of all Bentleys of the Volkswagen era. Landing is adjusted in two clicks, steering is pleasant (yes, this is the word that adequately describes the sensations of an imposing ride at city speeds and short shots along suburban highways): a powerful car is very obedient, complaisant and friendly. And what a comfortable seat! If during a long journey your back gets tired or the driver begins to feel sleepy, the soft rollers of the massager will restore his tone. Well, okay, the massager here seems to be more for fun, but the seat profile is ideal for “gran turismo”.
True, the ergonomics of the steering column switches are still set to “sport”: under the fingers there are manual gearshift paddles (which are interesting to play down for the sake of pops in the muffler), and the rest of the economy is removed a little further, so it’s not very easy to turn on the turn signals out of habit comfortable.
In sharp maneuvers, the all-wheel drive GT Speed is reliable. Banks are minimal, and to send the car into a skid, you have to try hard; we didn’t mess around.
And if you slow down, the Bentley four-seat coupe is synonymous with comfort. It floats pretty in the stream, and shudders at the joints without too much irritation despite the huge wheels with low-profile tires. The coupe has excellent sound insulation: the sound of the engine (even the whistle of turbines) and the sound of a tuned exhaust are audible, and annoying road noises do not penetrate into the cabin — thanks to double windows and good insulation of the wheel arches.
The GT Speed certainly has rear seats, but let’s be honest, it’s a car for two adults. Most likely, for a playboy and his companion, whose lipstick, probably, should be close in tone to that very St James’ Red.
The Continental GT Speed multimedia system looks outdated, but there is a pleasant and funny touch in this archaism — the frequency tuning is done in the style of old receivers, which, it seems, have not been produced since the end of the last century. The radio sounds about the same, but from a CD or a Bluetooth-connected iPhone, the sound of the Naim audio system is quite decent.
During the test drive, the on-board computer showed a fuel consumption of 23.6 l/100 km at an average speed of 28 km/h. Alas, most of the time our Bentley Continental GT Speed Black Edition spent in traffic jams — we will consider it as an art object, which even carpeted Moscow landscaping is not a hindrance.
10 men’s wrist watches from movies (photos, prices, descriptions)
Wearing a branded watch or any other thing in movies or TV programs is called product placement. Such advertising results in a significant amount of money for the customer. The mention of the brand name in actors’ dialogues dictates an even higher cost of the service.
Of course, if an A-class actor is involved in the project and the advertiser wants the celebrity to wear his products, the actor will be involved in the project approval process. The presence of a star hero guarantees the success of any advertising campaign. All of this sounds more like pure commerce than a beloved feature film, but this extra profit helps pay for the sky-high production costs of the film.
After the actor confirms the use of product placement, the costume team determines how to fit the advertised timepiece into the overall dressing concept.
At the same time, the writers need to think about how to include the clock in the frame. Most likely, the advertiser will need to pay for a one to five second close-up of the accessory, and the moment of the demonstration should be clearly written in the script so that the film crew knows when and where to emphasize the watch.
As you can see, product advertising in films and television shows requires a competent, thorough approach. The photographs shown show that advertising a watch is a much more subtle process than promoting a box of breakfast cereals. If you didn’t notice advertisements of any products while watching this or that entertainment program, the information may have been transmitted with a stake on the subconscious level of perception.
This article contains some great product placements of watches found in action games. After viewing the selection, try to remember how many of these hours you might have noticed while watching the movie. The question arises, did the manufacturers aim to influence the subconscious or did they use a more persistent method? Now we watch ads during the trailer to be able to see the film we paid for. How long will it take before the placement of goods in films proves its effectiveness and turns the cinema into another advertising platform.
