![]() ![]() The second node we will adjust is for light gaming. EX: If you want your card to idle at 35C, move the node up and down the y-axis temp = 35 until you have adequate fan speed to keep your card stable. Now adjust the first node based on the temperature (x-axis) you want your card to idle at (personally I like idle at 40C). Let your computer idle and monitor the temperature at which it becomes stable. Make sure Furmark is closed and no games are running in the background. The first node we will adjust is the idle temperature. We will be moving those to adjust our curve. You will see some preset curve with a number of nodes. I'm sure there are tons of others ways to do this, but I find this method the most straightforward.įirst things first, enable user defined fan control. Close the GPU stress test but keep Furmark ready, we will be coming back to it later. Once completed, make sure to save the profile in MSI afterburner. Overall I reached an average increase of 13 FPS. With my GPU, I reached +900MHz before increases in FPS were negligible. For this section, follow the steps listed above but instead with increases of 100MHz (or 50MHz if it is an older/cheaper GPU). Once you have your core clock figured out, we will move to the memory clock. Although 100MHz was stable, there was a negligible increase in FPS so I did not think it was worth it :) If the fps increased and the render is stable, rinse and repeat until satisfied. Monitor the change in FPS and overall stability (stutters/crashes). In Furmark, select a resolution smaller than native so you can have both programs open at once (for 1080p I used 1024x768) and then click on "GPU stress test." Note: Since we are going to both overclock and adjust the fan curve, we will start with the overclock so that the fan curve is made to deal with the temperatures the card will reach under load.įor this, you will need Furmark and MSI afterburner. Furthermore, make sure you have adequate PSU wattage to support any extra power required to OC your card. For reference, I am running the ASUS TUF GTX 1650 Super OC ( linked here). I'm pretty new to reddit but I though I would create a little guide/benchmark for anyone else who is installing one of these puppies.ĭisclaimer: There are 100s of different GPUs, so the exact OC and fan curve you create might differ. I just rebuilt my PC after 6 years (wooo) and noticed that there was not much info regarding general OC and fan curves (especially for my GPU). ![]()
