HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2021
- This MSI Afterburner tutorial shows you how to overclock your PC GPU (Nvidia & AMD) safely to boost performance in all games. This overclocking beginners guide will cover the basics you’ll need to achieve the best GPU overclock. Benchmarks will also be shown to demonstrate the GPU overclocking performance gain you can expect. An overclocking comparison will be made between overclocking your graphics card manually & automatically as well as the benefits. If you want to automatically overclock your GPU, I give you a short MSI Afterburner OC (Overclock Scanner) tutorial. If you’d like a Nvidia performance tuning guide using the Nvidia performance overlay, or a tutorial on how to undervolt your gpu, let me know! Could also make a guide on how to overclock your CPU & RAM safely. Have fun overclocking your Asus, Nvidia, MSI, AMD, Gigabyte, EVGA, ZOTAC, PNY, Sapphire, XFX (etc) GPUs and I hope you enjoy the video!

MSI Afterburner
Exploring and exceeding the limits of your graphics card might sound scary, but it’s actually easier than you think. MSI Afterburner Overclocking tools provide easy and precise access to your GPU settings. While increasing your GPU’s clock frequency and voltage settings, the fan speed control will enable you to find the perfect balance between performance and temperature.
MSI Afterburner sliders
- The Core Voltage slider displays the current master GPU core voltage. Depending on your graphics card mode, the voltage can be represented either explicitly or as an offset added to base voltage.
- The voltage control is locked by default due to safety reasons for example, if you’ve unlocked voltage control in the bios when overclocking your CPU. When GPU settings synchronization mode is enabled in advanced properties, any changes apply to the master GPU are also applied to all similar GPUs installed on your system. Voltage control is only available on limited sets of graphics card models. If Afterburner doesn’t allow you to unlock voltage control or unlock voltage monitoring, this probably means your GPUs voltage cannot be regulated by this function. Do NOT tick force constant voltage.
- The Power Limit slider displays the GPU’s power limit. When GPU synchronization mode is enabled, any changes applied to the master GPU are also mirrored to all similar GPUs installed on the system.
- The Temperature (Temp.) Limit slider is linked to the Power Limit slider.
- The Core Clock (MHz) Slider displays the current master GPU core clock. Depending on your graphics card model, the clock can be represented either explicitly or as an offset added to base clock. Please remember the minimum allowed shader to core clock ratio is limited by hardware.
- The Fan Speed slider allows you to either manually or automatically control the GPUs fan speed.
- If the apply settings at Windows Startup button If enabled, it will apply the current core voltage, power limit, temp limit, core clock, memory clock and fan control settings when Windows starts.
MSI OC Scanner / overclocking scanner test and scan features
1. Move the sliders for Core Voltage, Power Limit and Temp Limit all the way to the right. Click 'settings' and adjust your fan curve as directed in this video.
2. Start the OC Scanner by clicking on the button left of the “Core Clock (MHz)” text as highlighted below to open the Voltage/Frequency Curve window.
3. Scanning is the actual process described above where the algorithm will determine the highest stable frequency on 4 different voltage levels. This process should take around 15 minutes before presenting you with its conclusions. The value of the Core Clock in Afterburner should now show “Curve” instead of a number.
4. After running the Scanner, it's recommended to run the Test option. The Test script will verify the stability of the profile generated by the OC Scanner and provide the results in a ‘confidence level’. Personally I haven't see any other number than 90%.
5. Apply the OC Scanner values by clicking the Apply button in Afterburner. You can save the values in a profile as well, in case you want to switch between default values and your OC profile. You can do this by clicking on the Save Icon on the bottom right of Afterburner. The numbers on the left of the icon will start to flash to indicate that you can choose which number you would like to save this profile under. Once you choose a number by clicking on it, that button will become an active profile. This means you can easily switch back to default values by clicking the reset button, but also load up your OC profile by clicking on the profile number and then Apply.
Congratulations, you have just overclocked your graphics card!

Finally this man completed his home work.
Honestly, you deserve more attention + subscribers. Out of 90% of all tech RUclipsrs, you are purely the only one who properly explains everything in such good detail while every other RUclipsr goes: Do this, do that and done! (And even then, sometimes when you follow their guides they have no idea themselves of what they're doing).
Thank you for your guides, it has massively improved my gaming performance, especially your Nvidia Control Panel guide.
I'm really happy that the settings helped you out dude! I understand what you mean because when I turn to RUclips to find something out, it's pretty hard to find a straight answer sometimes. I wish more people who made tutorials could explain what they were doing and why because it really gives people more confidence that the recommendations actually work, especially if you can show what settings do and how they work! Thank you for your kindness and for taking the time to write a comment. Really appreciate it!
Subscribed to this man because he's the only channel on RUclips that I feel has done proper research before telling us what to do
Thank you dude I appreciate the kind words!
You really do make my day. Upload more bro you’re awesome! I love Australia can’t wait to go there
I think no one has realized the subtle renaming of your desktop icons lmao good stuff
Well I sure didn't realize it. It's hilarious tho 🤣
Very informative video! Great humor, and professionalism all in one. Thanks for all your effort!!
Thanks so much for all the work and research you put into your guides. Easily the best guides out there, and I’ve seen most im sure. I get tired from taking naps, you put in hours of effort to give us the best info. Preciate ya
Thank you for the awesome comment Kyle! Happy to help and I appreciate you too! :D
im glad ive found your channel man cos every other channel talking about overclocking and stuff like that i dont really trust and you manage to explain stuff alot more clearly
so there fore i feel i can trust you way more than all the other channels and also your videos are awesome
I appreciate that dude! :D happy new year!
You earned my sub man, watched couple of your videos , Youre not boring to watch and you are legit explaining everything.
Another great video. How you only have 20K subs is beyond me. Great job
Man you're definitely something else. Please keep posting, anything. Keep up the grind.
I was NOT planning to overclock my card. Watched the video, and laughed while overclocking my card. Great video, keep it coming!
Thank you so much!! I'm happy the video made you feel confident enough to overclock! :) congrats!!
Man I enjoy your video's bigtime !! Keep up the good work, good info and very good sens of humor.
ive had my omen laptop overclocked for a while and its very good sir because my fans are like an airplane
You crack me up whilst being incredibly informative and helpful, what more could you want?
Thank you dude!! :D
This was so easy to understand Thank you very much! 😁
I also have a 2070 and I can get 200 on the core and 800 on the memory. My power limit can increase by 14%. This gives me an overall boost of about 11% over my stock settings. It's just a basic gigabyte model. I deshrouded it and I have a open design case. I've loved overclocking for years and MSI afterburner is such an awesome tool. Great video👍.
Thanks man! 11% is a huge boost from your stock settings - that's awesome! I guess the rumours aren't true that Auros GPUs are better for overclocking which is what I have :P
can you tell me about your degree ? my 2070 with stock fan (3 of em) basicly instant goes up to 86-87
Hi Alex, I just found your channel but it is already my favorite tech oriented channel. You make great guides and are very clearly not full of shit like the 99% of other channels. You also just sound like a rad dude. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Man you're underrated so much
Where's the rest of your videos man! We need more of this legendary content. New to pc world and feel like iv found the guy to show me the ropes
you prolly dont remember me, but i just realized you're at nearly 19k, i remember you being at 4k
you're growing finally
Your videos always help when I'm looking to have a laugh, while learning something. My settings are higher, but only because I have a 4090
You doing the best watchable content!👍👍👍
Gtx 1660 from 2019 here and I managed to get 180mhz coreclock and whopping 900mhz memory clock, got about a 4-6 fps increase in pretty much all scenarios. Thanks man especially since my gpu is starting to get less powerful as more demanding games come out
Thanks for everything. I basically have GTX 1050, which in 2022 is not that great, and I am thinking about some upgrade. But now you really helped me to enjoy some of my games to their full potential. Games look and run great, even with my crap GPU.
You deserve a lot more subs mate, cheers
I don't know if I laughed or learned more during this video, in doubt I subscribed
Waiting fr a long time for yr video shogoz 😍
PMSL on this one, great work.... waiting for my first Afterburner run. Thanks heaps from a land Down Under.
I also come from a land down under and can hear can hear the thunder mmmm Vegemite nomnomnom
This is hilarious but also damn informative. Thanks dude!
cheers for the guides! managed to get my 3060ti +200 core clock and +1275 without problems
Wow I've never seen a tutorial that was fun to watch.
YOOOO THE VIDEO IS OUT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 5 MONTHS!!!
Thanks for sticking around dude haha ❤️
Dude the moment you started talking about water cooling i got scared AF that something is going to happen to my pc if i watched the rest of the video xD … Love your content buddy & keep up the good work.
Sorry about that haha. I wasn't sure if it was something I needed before I started overclocking so I mentioned it in the vid in case anyone else was thinking it too
Recently got into PC gaming after being a CONSOLE PEASANT for the past 10 years, your videos have been incredibly educational and fucking hilarious to boot. I watched tons of the “serious” videos from other big tech channels and their information was so much more vague than what you’re presenting in yours. I just wanted to say thank you for actually giving a shit and entertaining while you’re educating, that’s a super tough thing to do and you killed it. Cheers man!
You gained yourself a sub my guy
Awesome video. You are the man!!
This is a very nice one today.
Nice informative vid mate !!!
Thanks bro I appreciate it!! :D
Bruh, you're awesome. My setup has never been so good and my games have never run so smooth. I personally went with the auto clock option to keep it safe. My gpu is a bit nutty too. I managed to get me a 3060 TI and it runs like a dream. I'm currently on 129mhz core and 200mhz memory. it only goes as high as 46 degrees celsius at most too. Thank you so much!
Im glad to hear that dude!!! Im jelly of your 3060 :o I really wanna upgrade but the prices for GPUs are insane rn
@@shogoz They're obnoxious as hell yes.
Thank you for this tutorial shogoz. It was very well done and very well explained :)
Sorry for my bad English
You're welcome! Your English was perfect dude! :D
@@shogoz 😊
Waiting for this gpu video 🔥🔥 😂😂 and i gotta say that you nailed it..👍🏻👍🏻
Seriously awesome awesome video thank you
Just wanted to say great content keep up the Great work 👍
Thank you Liam
SOo nice to have you back man..... now don't disappear again
Will definitely upload sooner than I did this video haha
Gtx 1050 ti ---> core clock 200, memory clock 900, temperature around 60C. Rly happy how smooth for example my csgo gameplay has become after OC. Thanks for the detailed and also funny tutorial brother,love your videos! I'm still using your Nvidia control panel settings. Much love from Serbia 🤘🏻
Dude those results are amazing! Good job and thanks for the support :D
great video as always thank you
Thanks my dude!!
Great video man even 5 months down the line really opened my eyes.
I got the same error message you did and I'm using "Afterburner version 497.09" guess they never sorted it. I'm using your tutorial to stop my pc from crashing as every time I play a game it crashes with my GPU at 50°C so in doing this it should allow to run the graphics I want at a higher temp and stop crashing.
Am right in thinking that yes?
P.S. Your a born entertainer.
The increase in temprature does not prevent crashes if thats what ur asking lmao
Man it's been a long time since I've watched a techy video and actually laughed through out whilst trying to do what you was doing in the video. I might just watch it again for the shits and giggles. Keep it going man you've earned my subscription 💪 🙌 😂
I loved every bit of the video and you to man and thank you for the great explanation and the great video :D
I appreciate that man! Thank you so much
the legend is back
Man @shogoz pls just make more videos, they helped my computer (like the performance) and I laughed a lot watching your vids
before 1854: After 2025 before 1711 After 4503. i have a 1050 ti, and im not sure if the before numbers are 100% accurate. But it looks like ive won the lottery, thanks for your help man!
You can tell this tutorial works. The cat overclocked himself and now he can turn his head in all directions. An increase of 40%. Definitely worthwhile doing this :)
Thanks !!
My dad is proud of you.... For real though been loving the streams and videos keep up the awesome work lol. Do you have a patron?
Thanks my man it's been good talking to you! Nope I don't have a patreon - if I did I'd be posting feet pics ;) ;) ;) I appreciate the thought dude!
This man is legendary
If this works this the best video for Mai overclocking
they added some new stuff to the nvidia control panel! GOGOG NEW VID kTHX
Thanks for letting me know dude! :D
YESSS you made my day !!! finally you back - please continue this hype stuff ! :D Thanks a lot.
Thanks dude I appreciate that!! More to come in 2025 (jk) 🎅❤️
its finally here!
still great as always
Thank you, homie, my CS GO 480p gaming setup just got from 20 up to 500!
Celsius btw
Yes always a result of implementing a highly aggressive fan curve. I'm happy your computer melted :D
i use a laptop but i still watch this because hes awesome!
my temps are surprisingly fine though ive overclocked with +150 mhz and even 200mhz (200mhz went brrr on some games) and my gpu only reached max 67c and usually only went to 65c my cpu is the only issue my 1660 ti is god when it comes to temps then again my fans are louder then an airplane but
Would you mind doing a refresher on this with the new msi afterburner update? Because I keep getting overclock unstable
I put 1917 a Liberty L-8- an aircraft engine with a V-angle of 45 degrees, inside of my gpu and it gave me a performance boost of 6,9% and i've set my fan curve on 4, 2 and 0. So when the heat get ''blazingly'' ''high'', it get's cooled, precisely right.
Would love to see pics of that if you ever want to join the discord server - sounds like an awesome setup!
Can you do a video for other settings in the nvidia control panel
I watched your nvcp video and ngl im an esports wannabe loser and (wowbtw) when i followed YOUR advice there were improvements. So now i view “increase performance” titles as “make your pc run at the most self destructive level in order to get maximum (im)possible stats.” Your advice helps my pc run well in general. Like meaning i get satisfaction from my pcs performance as well as not having to deal with bs. ez subz
Thanks for the tutorial man, my card was ASUS Phoenix GTX 1650, Single fan and no 6/8 pin power, i was able to push mine w/ +230 MHZ on core clock and +950 MHZ on mem clock, my temps are around 63c-67c-ish tho sometimes i hit 70s on APEX Legends tho on benchmark instead using the (GL)msi-01 i use the (GL)msi-02 (PhysX4 GPU - HARD) coz i hit 2075 MHZ GPU Clock stable on it and heck i hit like 2100 MHZ in APEX Legends when playing.
Cheers mate. I had trouble with the auto OC cause it said the same stupid message "results are unstable" etc. I also got an older version and it worked like it should've worked. Really weird that they kinda broke auto OC with the new MSI Afterburner versions. Anyways. Thanks again.
i just died laughing seeing this mans destop icons hahaha
Lmao just noticed this
Lmfao I just noticed them 🤣🤣🤣
LOL
imagen changing ur desktop icons ewww
Underrated asf
Awesome vids'!
Thank you dude! :D
Just followed your twitch, I’ll sub when you’re next live! Boyo
You. Are. A golden god.
I'M SO PROUD YOU.
SO PROUD.
Once Shogoz stop slacking, great things happened. 😭👌🏻
It is Karinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ❤️❤️❤️😍
@@shogoz omnomnomnoms
Dude you or guru explains everything alll the way make so damm easy thanks . my computer is not explode yet .....
Thank you dude! :D glad to hear it hasn't haha
Hello Shogoz! In the nvidia control panel under "Adjust desktop size and position" Which scaling mode do you recommend? I heard No scaling has lower input delay but I've heard the same for Aspect ratio. I would love to hear your thoughts on this, thank you so much!
For me I play a lot of old games so I have 'integer scaling' selected to make text and other things in those games look crisper - I can't remember what the default used to be without changing everything back but I'd probably use 'no scaling' if I play newer games and 'full screen' if I noticed black borders playing older ones. Hope your weekend is going well man!
@@shogoz Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me. I really do appreciate it! My weekend has been going wonderful dude. How about yourself? I'm more interested in knowing how you have been man!?
Your very entertaininggggg
I personally don't even need to activate the startup button, I just assigned the oc profile to kick in with 3D applications under automatic profile manager in the settings.
can you tell me actual fps differences in games?Great video ,keep up the good work lov y!
Is there another software i can use to grab the data I need to finish the tutorial post the OC Scanner crapping on me? Cause yeah older MSI REALLY REALLY doesnt like my RTX 3070 TI GPU
Clicked for the info, stayed for the LuLz
I'm having the same issue on the overclock scanner so where can I find a old build for afterburner
Hello excellent video, can you help me with something? I have a gtx 750 ti and it currently has the following configuration +0 core clock and -390 memory clock, when I try to set the memory clock to +0 it starts to have artifacts do you know there is any possible solution, or was it just me who screwed up and now the gpu is with less memory clock. Thanks and sorry for my english i put in google translator.
How can you get the MSI Ovelocking scanner page that reads test in the bottom right corner?
Hilarious and informative, top job.
Hey, I have a question. I did the manual stress test and when I set core clock to what OC said, my whole screen started turning black for a milisecond. What's the deal with that?
Shogoz,
I've been watching a few of your videos (this one and the control panel) and they have been super helpful in teaching me a boat load of information. Thank you for not only that but being able to hold my attention.. I'm currently having the same issues you were having with afterburner @10:23 area.. this is with I believe the 4.6.4 version.. this being said, are you able to tell me how to safely download the version you've had success with? (I.E.; 4.6.2)
Thank You :)
Hi Braden! Sorry you're experiencing issues with the automatic overclock :/ I really thought that by now MSI would have fixed this issue. Do you have a Nvidia GPU? If you do and you have the geforce experience in-game overlay (Alt + Z), you can click 'Performance' on the front page (above where your screenshot/video gallery is located). Then, in the 'Performance Tuning' section there's a button you can press next to 'Enable automatic tuning' and this will do exactly the same thing that a successful automatic overclock would do in MSI Afterburner
Thank u so much about us not overclocking us laptops lol I watched that pandjo guy video and he didn’t even say a word about it smh. U got a new subscriber!!!
Thank you Mary! Yeah he wouldn't haha
@@shogoz lmao 😆
@shogoz hey fellow oceania brother, just had a quick question if you wouldn't mind (in case you see this comment). I've OC'ed my 7700k CPU and probably tweaked the core voltage you mentioned on your video, I was wondering if I should set my 1080ti core voltage to 100% on the MSI Afterburner program and try doing tests with it again? I left it at 0% and best I can do is 40 for core clock and ~120ish for memory clock on Kombustor. I feel like these are really low numbers and is this because I have core voltage at 0%?
I don't want to touch/move anything around too much yet until I get some feedback and answers for now I guess. Thanks for the videos, I binged like 3-4 of them while I was tweaking my PC today and they were all informative and entertaining, have a good one! Cheers from NZ
All gpus are different, so if those are the clockspeeds u got, they're probably right.
I assume increasing the voltage also increases potential clockspeeds but havent tested myself as my card is a toaster
Love video
Thank you!! ❤️
U are my MENTORRRR!!!!!
Thanks you so much, I was trying to use this app that mines in my pc and gives me money and my pc was so loud but after this video its so quiet and its not going above 80 like it used to
on the scan succeeded line of the overclock scan it doesn't say avg. core overclock and memory overclock mhz, it just says average overclock is 57MHz, nothing else. Is this something w/the newer version of msi afterburner?
2 questions , what do i do regarding the fan if in liquid cooled , also what about (2) 2080ti sli-nvlink Awesome video and personality loved it
i have already some arfifacts when im overclocking core clock? should i also step back 15 till they disappear?
So I have a question. Why is your core clock static? Mine is fluctuating a lot like from 1962-2025 while running kombustor
im using 4.6.2 of Afterburner, and the layout i have, i cant see OC scanner 😞
Edit: fixed it by changing the skin from settings/ 😃
