Asus GPU tweak question
Asus GPU tweak question
Hello everyone.
I own a GTX 970 turbo OC edition with an i5 4690k.
In Asus GPU tweak, my current settings are:
GPU Boost clock(MHz): 1228
Max GPU voltage(mV): 1175
Memory Clock(MHz): 7010
Power Target: 0100
Fan speed: 0032
I’m wondering if it’s safe to raise these values and would performance improve slightly? If so, what adjustments would you suggest? Thanks.
If you wish to push it further, I suggest using MSI afterburner instead of other programs for the 900 series. You can simply drag the Voltages bar all the way up and increase the MHz by around 100, continuing until you encounter a crash, then adjust accordingly and keep testing to ensure stability. Use unigine valley for this process. It should perform better if those are the default overclock settings on the card. Don't worry about the voltages. Graphics cards will rarely burn out under these conditions unless you disable the safety feature for adding excessive voltage.

If you wish to push the overclock further, it’s best to try MSI afterburner instead of other programs for the 900 series. Simply raise the Voltages bar fully and increase the MHz by around 100, continuing until you encounter a crash. Then adjust accordingly and keep testing to ensure stability. Use unigine valley for this process. It should perform better if those are the default OC settings on your card. Don’t stress over the voltages—graphics cards rarely burn out unless you disable the safety feature for excessive voltage addition.
I own an ASUS GPU. Is MSI afterburner still compatible with it?
Yes, any GPU can work with MSI afterburner. Just avoid Pascal versions and opt for EVGA precision instead. Since yours isn’t Pascal, MSI afterburner is the right choice.
Kavinqt would suggest using MSI afterburner for overclocking the 900 series. Adjust the Voltages bar fully and increase the MHz by around 100, testing until you encounter a crash. Use unigine valley for this process. Graphics cards are unlikely to burn out unless you disable safety features that limit voltage increases. For an ASUS GPU, MSI afterburner is suitable; if it's not Pascal, stick with MSI afterburner. Uninstalling GPU Tweak before installing MSI afterburner is not necessary.
Absolutely, it's important to avoid any conflicts. I think it would be helpful to watch a tutorial on overclocking with MSI Afterburner—it's quite straightforward.
If you're not sure, a video by JayzTwocent might be better for clarity.
