These are my specs for my PC I want to overclock for the best performance. My resolution I use for playing my games is x Hz. Any help or calculator I can use to determine the proper overclocking amount?
I've gone overboard on my PCs before and had black screens and such. That's what I'm trying to avoid. I want the best possible performance without harming my gpu. Sep 1, 3, 4, On the bottom half the main window, flip to the "VF Curve Tuner" page. You can start with default settings or, as some people recommend, start with the power and temperature target values the sliders on the top right to their maximum. Either way, press the "Scan" button, then go make coffee or something since it can take minutes.
The final value it spits out is what you enter in the box below "CLOCK" in the top center of the main window. Then run some stress test like the one included in 3D Mark. If it mostly passes like percentages in the high 90s , then it's likely the overclock is good. Otherwise bring it down a bit, like 10MHz, and try again. You can also try adjusting the voltage a little bit if you really want to push the clock speed. You have to adjust the memory clock manually however.
It's a similar idea, but start with MHz increments, run a benchmark or stress test, and keep going until you either get a crash, graphical artifacts, or performance stops improving. Make sure to save the profile when you're done. Do note however that GPU clock speeds are more of a suggestion than an absolute. Depending on how the rest of your system is set up, it may not even bother overclocking.

Post thread. Question Super giving me worse frames than a ? Started by Small-Change Oct 7, Replies: Graphics Cards. News Comments. Scary because I was afraid of causing any kind of damage to the expensive equipment inside my PC. It seems the major chip manufacturers caught on to the worries of their customers about damaging their products. These days, most Graphics Processors have built-in safety measures that restrict the changes you can make with overclocking software like Afterburner to values they consider to be safe.
The processors and drivers themselves also continually monitor things like temperature and power usage so that action can be taken to ensure the safety of the product. A great example of this is a thing we know as Thermal Throttling. If a GPU gets too hot, it will automatically reduce its effective clockspeeds to reduce the workload and output of heat until it reaches a level deemed safe.
Within just a few minutes it will run a process that will determine the highest stable overclock settings for your graphics card. The process consists out of the same basic steps as manual overclocking, being: increasing clockspeed by one step, then stressing the GPU to see if this clockspeed is stable. If the clockspeed is stable under load, the clockspeed will be upped by another step and the GPU will be stressed once more.
This process repeats itself until the GPU fails to maintain stability under load. At that point, the last known stable clockspeed will be set as the maximum value. This process will repeat itself 4 times to cover 4 different Voltage levels. This curve works by matching the values of clockspeeds to corresponding values of voltage that can sustain those clockspeeds.
By doing this you will get a curve where higher voltages are required to run at higher clockspeeds. Out of the box the last few generations of graphics cards have used this curve. What OC Scanner does is to see how far the curve can be safely adjusted to provide higher clockspeeds. How to get started with OC Scanner Before you start the process of OC Scanner, we recommend that you enable detailed control of your graphics card in the Afterburner settings.
You can do that by checking the boxes below. After this, you can click apply at the bottom and nothing will happen yet. All this does is to allow your graphics card a bit more room to stretch its legs when you run OC Scanner. As mentioned above, setting these sliders to their max values is completely safe as the values are defined by the manufacturer of the graphics chip to be considered safe.
