Hello guys I have a question about my MSI 1080 ti gaming x. I am new to overclock.
I see there is option to use the card in OC, Gaming mode but totally noob and I can't find how tow switch on this option or it is manual overclock. Also am I eligible to overclock my card when I have H97 motherboard. I tried to use Afterburner but after I do some overclock my pc just freeze after few minutes and need restart.
My current PC :
mobo :Gigabyte H97 Gaming3
CPU : Intel I7-4790
RAM : adata 24 gb 1600 MHz
SSD : Samsung 850 evo
HDD :WD 1 tb
CPU FAN : deepcool mealstorm 240mm
PSU : EVGA 750 w G2
Thanks
Best Regards,
Samuil

On the internet you can obtain MSI's gaming application, which lets you choose the desired mode with a simple click. Alternatively, you might download MSI's afterburner tool and master adjusting configurations independently. Each method has its advantages; the gaming app is better suited for newer users. Afterburner provides complete control over most settings on the card, staying within BIOS restrictions.

In MSI afterburner simply boost the power target and fan speed to maximum. Use benchmark tools such as unigine valley, increasing the core clock by 25MHz each cycle and running the game. If any issues appear, lower the clock speed. Repeat this process for memory, raising it by 50MHz each time and identifying the stable core and memory frequencies. That’s how you find the right settings.

Thank you for your assistance and ideas. I plan to use this app and also attempt to overclock, as "parani" advised me to maximize the card's performance. To clarify, does your motherboard influence overclocking for the GPU or is it limited to the CPU?

Mobo isn't connected to GPU oc. It only affects CPU oc, because you have a fixed CPU, so don't worry!

Thanks a lot! Cheers!!!
