EVGA Precision X1
Good evening,
I just got my new system featuring an EVGA RTX 2070 Black and want to overclock it. I found some software that offers automatic OC but I'm not sure what steps to follow. Should I run a scan first and then apply the changes when done? Do I need to adjust the fans to automatic mode? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Nope, never use the scan tool.
It helps identify the highest clock your GPU can provide.
I suggest starting by playing games first and monitoring your FPS, focusing on 0.1% and 1% drops, before attempting any overclocking. This will give you a baseline for your card.
After that, you can try adjusting the power limit and target in PrecisionX; adding another 100 to the core and 500 to memory should work well.
Then gradually increase further until you encounter crashes or visual artifacts.
Use MSI After Burner to gradually raise core and memory clock speeds at the same time, applying stress to the GPU while monitoring stability and ensuring safe temperatures. Manual overclocking consistently outperforms auto overclocking.
