On two systems...
I have MSI Afterburner installed but I want to know if there is a automated wizard within it that can check, and optimize the GTX 1080 GPU safely.
Thanks.
Actually OC scanner is a plugin created by Nvidia, not MSI
But it's actually for the 20 series cards and not 10 series.
Hi.
Perhaps I'm a bit confused here.
What exactly do I need? I used the OC Scanner in the latest revision of Afterburner and when I went to test - system rebooted.
Thanks.
Are you following the instructions?
You can jack up power limit and temp limit to the max, but leave core clock and memory clock at 0.
Set your fan curve to where you want it, better is max your fans and then set the fan curve later
Then run test first.
Then run Scan.
When the scan is finished, open the lock on afterburner,
click the save icon,
save it to one of the profile numbers.
One thing though, I recommend, do not set the to curve to run at boot, because if you have problems, and for some reason the curve settings crash, at boot you might not be able to get into windows.
That happened to me once when I switched graphics cards, and forgot to set afterburner to run at defaults at boot.
At first I thought the card was bad, then figured out the problem.
Yep. Did everything as indicated:
Get a free performance boost with Afterburner OC Scanner
Could it be that the GTX is OEM for Dell?
It's not important. Just wanted to try without fry.
Dell and GTX 1080= weak power supply if it is rebooting
Dell and every other big company is known to put less then adequate power supplies to run stuff they figure you wouldn't want to overclock your parts lol wrong
True, but then they are not sure the stocks they send to the stores will go to those who want to do more customization to the computers than the average consumer, probably a bit of why Dell bought Alienware to get that kind of performance without affecting their consumer and business products. The speculation some time ago was HP bought Compaq to get their line of Proliant Servers. Gateway bought eMachines for a 'value' line then later ACER bought Gateway. A Custom build has always been the best way to get the hardware desired for different needs. After my first computer [Hewitt Rand w/AMD 80386/40MHz in '92] I've always built my own Desktops until the last about 3 years ago, got an ASUS from their Business line that was cheaper than same parts to build my own, lot to be said about volume-buying for competition.
