The MSI Afterburner appears ineffective once the overclocking is complete.
Hi there! I’ve been adjusting my GPU settings in MSI Afterburner and didn’t see any improvement in performance or temperature. Kombustor didn’t appear to help much, especially since it would indicate less stress than my most demanding game (Battlefront). With the core clock increased by 60 to 840, I ran Battlefront on high settings and got temperatures around 58-60 degrees with noticeable frame drops. My main reason for thinking it’s not making a difference is that the temperature stayed the same. The GPU is an AMD Radeon R5 Graphics card. I haven’t run stress tests with Furmark because I’m concerned it could damage the GPU, and it doesn’t seem to be very reliable. Please help me.
Increasing the core by 60 from 800 seems minimal. You should optimize memory usage as it significantly impacts performance. Start with small adjustments, like adding 100, and continue in 50 increments until stability is confirmed, then fine-tune your core while testing under stress.
I've tried almost everything and still can't locate anything online!

Start with small adjustments, like adding 100, and continue in 50 increments until stability is confirmed, then fine-tune your core while stress testing. For context, I'm currently using +85 on my core and +200 on memory, which is a modest overclock. It hasn't been adjusted seriously yet; I think reaching 150 on my core is possible with higher voltage (over 950 amps from my GPU).
What is your precise GPU model? The lower the end, the smaller the gain from overclocking.
If it's something like an R5 240, ignore my earlier comments—you won't see much improvement regardless of how strong your OC attempts are. Just gradually increase everything except voltage until it fails, then reduce a bit.
For better results, benchmark with programs like Unigine Valley; it functions well and is useful for stress testing.
