You've made this super simple. I've followed other tutorials in the past but you've made this far easier to follow than most other people's take on undervolting through Afterburner. This is why this is my number one channel to watch for gpu content. Thank you Fabio for your amazing work

[@AncientGameplays]

Thank you as well for watching and commenting

[@michaelthompson9798]

It’s actually great to see a more informative GPU overclock / undervolt video🥳🤓😇👍! I know when I first started dabbling in this GPU tweaking many years ago, it was very difficult to find a video guide with good step by step process 😡! Thank you doing this video for the beginners and / or people returning to the overclocking / undervolting scene after a hiatus 👍💪. Great job and looking forward to the next upload my good sir 😄

[@AncientGameplays]

thank you, next video will come soon :D

[@JusticeBeaver66]

It's important to notice that, even thought your game/application may not crash, it's still possible to experience glitches while messing around with the settings presented in the video. I was decreasing to 975 as suggested in 9:43, and I had no problems for more than a month. Same performance and a few C° less on my GPU. However, I recently started 'Resident Evil 4' (2023), which is currently the most recent game in my library and, therefore, the most hardware demanding. I started to notice white and red dots flickering all over the screen, and it was driving me crazy. Turns out it was the undervolting. I had to increase to 1010 for the glitch to stop (for now, at least). So, yeah, the tutorial on the video works, and it's super valid, but you need to be aware that is not a magic bullet, and you have to be responsible for your own hardware.

[@AncientGameplays]

There's no such thing as magic of course

[@SequentialSnep]

Thanks! Your tutorial worked a treat :3 .975v kept crashing but pushing it to 1v and mine appears pretty stable.

The GOAT. Doesn't matter if video is about amd nvidia intel or whoever, im still watching and liking it!

[@rafmc6053]

You overclock the card, watch out for the processor ;) Reports of game crashes are common and usually affect a few games, especially those with shader compilation. NVIDIA has revealed that the "out of video memory bug" that is normally thought to be a graphics card issue is actually related to Intel's 13th and 14th gen processors. CPU instability crashed games during the shader compilation process more than 90% of the time. Remnant 2 , Vermintide 2 , Alan Wake 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Horizon Zero Dawn, Immortals of Aveum, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition , The Last of Us part.1. Not everything green is bad, not always Mr. Leather Jacket is to blame. 😉🙋‍♂

[@zendigimoni9739]

By crashes you mean what? Games just close or video-driver crashes and screen turns black with gpu fans going crazy?

[@savotech]

Great explanation, it will certainly help a lot of people (the Windows tip is a nice bonus)

[@spoots1234]

Nice performance bump. The 4060 OC makes the 4060 ti 8gb a harder sell. I have a strange comparison - 3050 6gb vs 3050 8gb limited to 70w. It's likely the extra cuda cores on the 8gb don't actually matter much at 70w.

[@HSRoficial]

nice video man!

[@TimberWulfIsHere]

If you can handle the heat the best way to OC is to raise power and voltage limits to max and find out where the max voltage is and keep adding core mhz till gpuz states you are power limited. Managed a stable 2115mhz oc on my 3080 that way.

[@AncientGameplays]

The 3080 is a completely different card though. Power must have scale a lot though

[@TimberWulfIsHere]

@@AncientGameplays depends on the vbios you use. I think the 4000s power scale a bit better than the 3000 series.

[@NixllO3]

This is a banger! And I know bangers!

[@joshuapicarello]

I've notice that the RTX 40 cards don't get much of a performance boost with overclocking compared to previous gen, and I'm wondering why? AMDs RX 7000 cards seem to love when they're overclocked, and achieve a rather sizeable performance jump over stock. I'm curious if Nvidia purposely limited any extra power to boost their cards even higher, or if it's a manufacturing flaw with that architecture?

bacana a dica sobre as chaves do windows!

[@tamale94592]

Ty bro this helped a ton! Temps never go above 65 C with my build.

[@JoshTheHraefn5656]

I'd like to add that on the core clock it will only go up in increments of 15. So starting at 50 i wouldn't necessarily recommend, and instead use like 30, 60, 90, or just go up by 15 or start at 60

[@TestTest-ug5nu]

Thank you, great oc guide. Please make a video about uv/oc rx 7600xt. From what I see, this card has the ability to increase the power limit by 20% and generally has greater OC potential than a regular rx 7600 :)

[@KiNg0fShReD]

Finally I found a good Explanation of curve optimizer with nvidia! Thank you, man. I have a 3090 and i love overclocking my card but i never figured out how to undervolt with curve optimizer. Do you recommend any software to stress test the Overclocks i try? or a game?

[@AncientGameplays]

I would try in game mostly, but there are some benchmarks to stress GPUs, like Heaven benchmark

[@jurekwisniewski786]

[@AncientGameplays]

You're welcome

[@Domnu-Andrei]

why all people, speaking about undervolting are not actually undervolting the GPUs? you just tweaked the frequencies(up & down), not voltage (left & right). the voltage curve remains the same but has different (customized) frequencies.

[@slaymunk9932]

Heh, this is how graphs work. He applied lowered voltage for frequencies of GPU after certain barrier.

[@goregejones7248]

Since rtx 4060 & rx 7600 is close to price what do you think would be best to buy?

[@AncientGameplays]

Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6Gze3mso9OEjK8

[@СерегаБосс-ч2в]

Hello Fabio. Setting up the curve is easier by lowering the right side and raising the left side to the desired voltage. Then the curve looks nice without that hump. And I think that this will be right.

[@AncientGameplays]

Humm, interesting. I'll try it

[@XiaOmegaX]

that is nice, but you're adjusting too many of the lower voltages to much higher clocks. I've found it easier to just UV/OC with a simple shelf, because that leaves RT/furmark in more stable states

[@harveybirdmannequin]

It's actually even easier than the video. This is a general tip for all graphics cards. My 3080Ti is underclocked and undervolted at 1600 Mhz at all voltages. What you see is a flat line on the curve editor at 1600 Mhz. Stock power is 350W. Undervolted and underclocked is 220-230W and the performance drop is 8-10%.

[@AncientGameplays]

That's underclocking, which like you said will decrease performance. With those 10% lost, plus the +10% you could get with OC, you're losing 20% perf...while you could be aiming for lets say 320w with 20% more perf than you have now. Want less p.draw? Lock fps

[@kaimojepaslt]

well on my card i can go down 100mv while keeping same stock boost clocks, so in reality, about 25watts less draw, same perf, less heat , less bills@@AncientGameplays

[@danielma1359]

Hey, I really feel a strong need to just play safe, I don't want to undervolt the GPU or is it really necessary if you overclock even just a tiny bit? Is it ok to just increase Core Clock by 50MHz and Memory Clock by 500MHZ and Power Limit 110% and leave like that? I mean I'm also overclocking my 2666MHz RAM to 3000MHz using XMP 2.0 preset and undervolting my processor by 0.05V so I can use Performance Mode to have it at Turbo at all times. I'll also cap FPS to 60 using the RTSS that comes with After Burner. So you think this is a reasonable apporach to play very safe on the overclocks? For most games it is more than enough, but my aim is to be able to play Hellblade 2 with fixed 60fps, so that's why I'm overclocking in the first place hahaha

[@T-id8cs]

your explanations are always excellent man. I love your work man. You,re the best. Love how you explain stuff in detail and articulate everything out for idiots like me 😂

[@AncientGameplays]

Hahaha, i just want people to understand haha

[@arbiter1]

Would been nice if you could recorded power draws as well to show how much lower power is draw is undervolting.

[@AncientGameplays]

It is literally there in the end...

[@Ktulhu5000]

Turning curve in "curve editor" into flat line will result in higher voltage for mid-range loads

[@AncientGameplays]

Not really because we decreased the base voltages in the beginning 💪

[@seamon9732]

Exactly, if the GPU runs at 100% usage and doesn't throttle from a lack of GPU usage, this outdated technique is fine. But the second the GPU usage drops below 100%, effective clocks and power usage suffers.

[@AncientGameplays]

@@seamon9732 we decreased 100MHz before

[@seamon9732]

​@@AncientGameplays Yeah I know, it's how the formerly preferred technique worked. For the newer and slightly better ( see below ) more efficient one: -1st step, reset to defaults and max power limit. -2nd step, OC, go to core clock, input the OC you want in a POSITIVE offset ( example, +175 on my 3070 ). -3rd step, UV, go to curve editor, flatten the curve after your desired maximum voltage by shift highlighting all the dots on the right of your desired max voltage and drag down below the speed of the desired max voltage marker. That newer method has notable advantages over the older one you described and those are just the ones I remember: -Better effective clocks ( see HWinfo64 effective clocks ). -Slightly better power efficiency when not running at 100% GPU usage. -Much better efficiency when the GPU automatically scales down the frequency of the core to adapt to the lower GPU demands.

Hello. I have a question about video memory overclocking. I personally have rtx 4060 with Samsung memory chips. Is it safe to overclock a whole 1 Ghz?

[@assassinscreed4125]

Please make an overclock guide for 4060 ti.

[@ZachalZockt]

nice guide but for the people who are not into the "technical thing" i would never overclock the VRAM because ist 99% the vram who breaks and not the gpu chip. Next thing: Thermal pads. Every card is different because every brand using different cheaper/higher quality pads, your pads can dry out after a year or after 3+ years. means: Temperature rising. Next problem here: Nvidia using vram sensor, AMD not, you cant check your vram temps with gpu-z on AMD.

[@AncientGameplays]

Vram will never be the issue unless you have a really bad model

[@ZachalZockt]

@@AncientGameplays im not talking about stability, im talking about broken vram chips and the fact that our company works with an shop whos repairing under warranty is really crazy: broken vram chips, broken soldier points, weird graphicbugs was a vram chip to, gamecrash was a vram chip to. And all Models are effectet. nr1 is broken vram chips, nr2 is electrical repairs like small drivers, mosfet, or other things.

[@Rafael-dm9mm]

I followed all the steps, but it set the clock to 2550 MHz (stock). The VRAM is at 9800 MHz and 950 mV. Unfortunately, it ended up thermal throttling (I have a Gigabyte Windforce OC). My Superposition score was worse than with the NVIDIA app overclock. Do you think 2880 MHz and 975 mV, as shown in this video, would perform better than the NVIDIA app’s auto-scan safe overclock?

[@forvisitors4057]

can you do older RTX cards? i love your oc+uv tutorials but i have a 2060 :(

[@Mark001real]

It possible to undervolt using the oc clock or you can only with the max stock clock? And you have to overclock until the gpu crashes and it isn't harmful right?

[@arkh1730]

xmp + overclocking gpu is like 25% more fps or so from my experience. maybe worth it if you're like 55fps and need 60 fps :)...probably can max out the game settings but I usually run it stock and play it on high instead of ultra not much difference and save some cash

[@AncientGameplays]

XMP is ram sided. If you weren't RAM/CPU bottlenecked to begin with, enabling XMP won't do anything

i personaly think this is incorecct way of undervolting because at lower frequencies youre lowering the frequencies for the same voltage so basically this is overvolting, but for few highest frequencies is undervolting

[@TheMopi14]

2975 Mhz at 0,975 you are the GOAT, it's ok taking up the memory that much? I feel like 1500Mhz is too much, I have actually arround 800-1000Mhz I feel it more safe.

[@denver14__]

Hi bro, how are you? I am a loyal subscriber of yours and I admire your content a lot. I don't know if you offer consultations via DM, but if you dont, im gonna ask by this way, I have a problem. A few months ago, I bought an RTX 4060 OC'ed to 2890MHz, and for a while now, I've had a Ryzen 5 5600x CPU. Recently, I've been experiencing that whenever I perform simple tasks on the computer, the CPU usage goes to 100% and it heats up a lot, going from 51 degrees to 75 momentarily. By the way, it’s overclocked to 4.65GHz. This doesn't happen during gaming; the CPU usage and temperatures are appropriate for that. However, in one particular game, Control, there are small flashes of yellow and blue on the screen every now and then, and eventually, the entire screen goes black in a couple of seconds. Could you tell me what might be the problem with which component? If you need any more information, let me know. Thank you very much for your time.

[@vexun11]

What kind of framerate increase are we talking here when you overclock? like 5%? also what temp drops do you get from undervolting? I am still kind of confused with the curve editor.

[@AncientGameplays]

Watch the final part...

[@calvinengle2020]

I am super confused please explain why you set core clock to 115 just to then lower the voltage curve editor by 100? That makes the core clock go down by -100 so basically you just did the first thing for no reason? And then nothing you did had anything to do with 1075 mv thats the part you grabbed when pressing shift and click but that moved the whole curve so you can grab it at 700 mv or 1250 mv and move the curve down 100 and it would do the same and then when you make it spike to 2880 frequency at 975 mv is there a reason you chose that mv? Because you make it seem like you chose 1075 to then go down 100 mv and then make 975 mv spike to 2880 frequency. Like i am so confused by this can you please explain it? Like your thought pattern of how this is actually boosting performance and why you wanter to ajust core clock when you undo your work when you set the curve? Please make me understand this

undervolting not underclocking. because underclocking will lose peformance significant.

I use underclocking with games like CSGO (CS2) to limit the power draw, while I still get about 350 fps, which is enough for me. It saves about 100 watt. Of course I also undervolt, but that is in all games. :-) @@AncientGameplays

Hey Eduardo, the info is not wrong by any means (at all). With recent drivers, overall, the card works better with the slider at 500MHz, BUT, in CPU bound scenarios (CPU bottlenecks), the minimum clocks raised will indeed help. Besides that, that's the only things that changed. Cheers

Ampere cards are very power hungry. That is why they need undervolt so much. Ada is much more power efficient, but most cards (aside from 4090) are severely constrained by memory bandwidth, thus they need memory OC.

doesn't seem to work with adjusting two gpus. Each time you switch to look at each gpu the settings are reset. Can't tell what I'm dealing with when I'm testing. Is there something I'm missing? Does one curve setting apply for both? (which would really suck). But sure as hell, the interface doesn't see to go back and forth between my custom undervolt curves. You set one; hit save into a profile and then you go back to the other gpu and the curve is gone. At this point I just want to know if I'm wasting my time or not. UPDATE: Yes, synchronize on. I do have two RTX 3090's but separate manufactures. I'm hoping that sync is working.
