Hello again everycreature! So, I'm rocking an Asus Dual RX 6070XT OC edition, and have been using GPU Tweak III for overclocking. Recent, the program started looking like this: Yeah...not very useful for overclocking now. I've tried uninstalling, turning the computer on and off, haven't made any hardware changes since she was built. I'm not sure what to do, this happened just before the issues I had with Rocksmith, which I made another thread on, but that has since been fixed. Seems the game just needed an update. But this...I'm at a loss.

Hi, I've run into an issue over the last several days that I think is related to some Asus software that I installed. After updating from Asus gpu tweak v2 to v3, I also installed the Asus armoury crate as well. Soon after I installed the Asus armoury crate software, I started having issues, including my PC soft locking up. After researching it a bit, I read that the armoury crate software installed rgb fusion which is known to cause issues. I've uninstalled the software through CCleaner and also using the Asus uninstaller. However, Once a day over the last 3 days I have had to restart my PC as it soft locks up for some reason. My Corsair fans go from the white I have set them to, to the default rainbow and all applications become unresponsive/very slow to do anything. None of these issues existed before updating to gpu tweak 3(which I don't think is the issue) and the armoury crate software. I'm open to all solutions of things to try. I just hope a reinstall of windows 10 is needed... Thank you.

Hi all, Info per guidelines: 1. Thinking future upgrade budget $300-$400 if multiple parts, if just GPU, around $300 in USA 2. Purposes = gaming and website work, general non-intensive tasks 3. Currently one 1400x900 monitor and sometimes a 720p tv too, I would like to run 2 actual monitors (one 1400x900 and one 1920x1080) when I get a 1080p monitor eventually 4. Peripherals already purchased for original build 5. Thought Process: My hope was that this build would last a few years. It is still 90% fine. I was very annoyed/disappointed with the AMD 16.xx drivers. 15.x came on the disc w/ the GPU, and that worked mostly fine, but then I upgraded to 16.x and experienced crashes and glitches, so I rolled back and 15.x was better. After skipping a few 16.x releases, it seems AMD mostly fixed the problems causing the crashes, so I am on the latest drivers now. I don't think I NEED to upgrade hardware now. What I want to know is about how long my current hardware should last for playing about 1 new AAA title per year with as many max settings as possible. Framerate is less important to me, anything between 50-60 is fine. Now that the new generation of both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs are out, I fear the new titles will be written to leverage those resources and my previous gen 380 will get smoked trying to keep up. How can I optimize my GPU settings in the ASUS Tweak Tool 2 or OverDrive to make it perform the best? I don't care about noise and I think its temps are fine. I tried increasing the power target and gpu clock, and then click apply to save the settings as a custom profile, but it would not actually save and I would switch profiles and go back and everything would be undone. Could someone please link to a guide or explain step-by-step how to OC an ASUS AMD GPU? One time when I tried creating a custom profile, it actually undid everything and all the sliders went down to 0 in the previously included OC mode. All the guides I have found just say, "increase the clock speed by 10 until it becomes unstable, then go down 20 and you're done!" but that doesn't help when none of my settings get saved/applied and the default OC mode gets undone. As you can see in my linked build, I am using micro ATX. It was really hard to shove the ASUS Strix 380 into this case because of the non removable DVD cage. Its length is the problem. Whenever I do upgrade, I am thinking a single fan GPU on something like a 1060 (Maybe 1160 by the time I need it). That seems super tiny and good for a micro ATX build. I am also leaning toward NVIDIA because I am annoyed that AMD drivers caused so many problems and the software is not intuitive. I have included pictures of the settings that I pretty much leave on and have not successfully messed with much. I did toggle frame rate target control on and set it to 60. I don't really understand what the other settings do. The default OC mode gets 104%. I don't know if that is good. I believe I saw some guy in a video get 118%. I think my 600W PSU should give me a lot of headroom right? What can I do to get better than the default OC mode? I built this system in March 2016: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/MbJqbj RIGHT before the new generation of GPUs came out. Had to, I wanted to play Dark Souls 3. I thought it went in this section of the forum because whenever I do need to upgrade the GPU, I figure it could be worth it to upgrade the motherboard. I am on a Skylake i5, so I figure that CPU should last a while. I think 16GB of RAM should last a while. My wifi card has an annoying antenna that is attached to wires that come out of the back. I wonder if the motherboards that have onboard wifi have 1-2ft of wires out of the back too. If not, I might want to get a motherboard with onboard wifi that is much tidier and maybe only has a rigid antenna or 2 that sticks out of the back but can be rotated up or down. I also want one with more fan headers so I can plug in my case fans and I can eliminate one of the PSU cables that I have plugged into my modular PSU that is solely for a molex cable to plug into 1 case fan. The case fan in question is a large (240?mm) with LED. I tried plugging it into a fan splitter, but it would not work.

Hello! I got myself a gtx 980ti STRIX and downloaded the rog gpu tweak 2. I pressed the "Gaming booster" And that ruined my pc. I can't see previews of multi windows and my ALT+2 which is "@" in european keyboards has a 4 second delay before it appears. same with "£". But the ALT key works to function other buttons like $€{[]} without delay. How do I fix this? I don't have gaming booster on anymore.

Hello! im looking over some features of the GPU TweakII for my 1070 Strix. I wonder what "Game Booster" does.. someone familiar with this feature? I would like to get some reviews ;D

I recently got this issue and occurs when I restart my computer. On startup, it says "ASUSGPUFanServiceEx.exe" and "ASUSGPUFanServiceEx.exe" stopped responding. I already tried reinstalling GPU TWEAK II two times with no luck. All help is greatly appreciated! *Note this didn't occur just until yesterday. If you need my specs just simply reply asking for them as I believe it won't really affect anything.

Hi there, I have been playing with my Titan X for a while now and i was trying to achieve a +200 MHz GPU clock and +400 MHz Memory clock OC, (which is the average OC i have seen in the various forums i have looked) but i could only achieve a +150 GPU +400 Mem one, which i tested for almost a month and have proved stable, but, i didn't notice till yesterday that on GPU Tweak's monitor, the GPU clock shows as a maximum of arround 1314 MHz and an average of 1289 MHZ, which is almost +60 OC than the 1226 MHz that shows on GPU-Z. So my question would be, is GPU Tweak showing wrong readings on the GPU clock speed? or is my Titan X achieving an extra +60 OC on it's own? (i heard that's possible if you get extremely lucky in the silicon lottery ) or i am just plain stupid and have no idea how to read the GPU Tweak monitor and GPU-Z? :huh: Any input or comment about this is appreciated, i love to learn new stuff. I will attach a screenshot to show you the numbers i am talking about.

So I wanna thoroughly overclock my card, I have a little experience with it. What should I set one of these individual sliders to? What shouldn't I touch? What program can I test it on if it's stable? My specs are on my profile. Here it is: Thanks, Sean.

This simple guide originated as a stimulus for users, who asked me how OC GTX780. Questions regarding overclocking of graphics are fairly common, but basically the same principles apply. Mainly for similar architecture. And since I am now the owner not only Radeons, but also its first modern Geforce card, so I will try to accommodate this short article. We will focus on the current series of Nvidia's Kepler architecture and Maxwell. The differences between them are in the upper OC limit of the core and the difference is too little to remember. Especially at lower GPUs models. 1)What do we need know before the OC Software for overclocking of graphics card. We will use the "Asus GPU Tweak". Download it here: GPU Tweak 2.8.2 The software that will detect information about the graphics core, bus speed and temperatures like etc. But this can be despite the already mentioned GPU Tweak ... However, GPU-Z [/ u] as a detection tool I recommend (among other things through it you can save the current BIOS for backup case): http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2463/techpowerup-gpu-z-v0-8-2/ 2)First steps in GPU Tweak and how and what we can set Asus has been used for years tweak soft GPU Tweak utility. Skin can be adjusted according to your own needs, I use the default settings ... The left window covers monitoring and right portions include setting as follows ... The same applies for the setting. On the left set of monitoring - definitely check temperature (GPU temperature), Memory Clock and core (GPU and memory clock), target power and fan speed. The rest settings is at your discretion. Monitoring can also save to the log file. On the right we see several tabs settings, which can be reached with clicks to icon with sliders "tuning" in the upper left side. In the "MAIN" we can see a set of skins and what should happen after starting Windows. -update We will be interested but the second tab "TUNE" Since I have Matrix card, is it a fully unlocked menu settings. Your card it will be available to a limited extent. However, as I highlighted in yellow, it certainly recommend mark and it should be on most cards. GPU Boost - that is frequency on which card will work, and its core clock. With sufficient cooling the card will keep this cycle even longer time, or even overcome it. GPU Voltage - core clock voltage settings, overclocking capabilities of the core increases (boost clock), but also warm and can achieve faster power limit Memory Clock - frequency of memory chips at graphics card. Usually u can see effective memory clock, ie for example 7000MHz GDDR5 effectively = it is real 1750 MHz. Higher memory clocks often cause instability, which was first seen artifacts when playing or falls. Power Target - (alias Power limit = nothing will slow up or limiting the GPU card in performance, when will have a higher consumption), raising it lets''s moving "with such a voltage core graphics card (GPU Boost + GPU voltage) without causing a drop in performance or local declines shots in the game or benchmark. Feel free to start now, you can safely move on powerlimit maximum limit what you allow your setting. The remaining values in the picture, some blue, are only available for unlocked edition cards. Than you can use example memory voltage and LLC or for the VRM frequency itself. After setting it in GPU Tweak-looks something like this. We see information about the frequency, voltage, power target. My card GTX980 Matrix has a base clock 1342 MHz core, 7010 MHz effective memory-power target is essentially 100% and stock voltage for load is 1.213V. Fans spins at 32% of its maximum. 3) Default results GTX 980 Matrix Since I have use now at benchtable PC with AMD A10-7850K, the results are not completely tip top. On the other hand, the mainstream processor with GTX980 worked OK, and GTX980 results grow up... I tested for info in 3D Mark11 Extreme settings and tested the game Sniper Elite Xtreme 2 on maximum settings. 4) When even though you fear - switching profile Asus It may still happen that OC of graphics you have not balls. Asus has here two profiles. One is contrary to light saving profile called Power Saving. Just click on the letter "S" at the bottom of the profiles. A slight overclocking or vice versa called Gamer (the letter G in profiles) - overclocks decently core clock and memory boost There are results of Gamer profile: 5)Manual overclocking - How to When the overclock card, doing it in the smaller steps. First, as I said in another chapter, step up power target slider to the maximum. Start overclocking with unchanged voltage (stock). The core will usually allow about +50-150 MHz on the core, according to the type of the card (GTX600 / 700/900 series) and specific model (DirectCU vs high clocked Matrix) and according to a piece of luck. Memory usually tolerate a little more, try these steps for the first time after 50 MHz efficiently and then lower steps of 5 MHz. Always test stability first in 3D Mark and then stress test such as Furmark (enough for about 10-20 minutes Furmark) or OCCT GPU test. -stress test OCCT for GPU I got a card to 1382 MHz of Boost clock (in practice can in GPU-Z observe that practical Boost gets long and over 1440 MHz!), And 7440 MHz for the memory efficiently. And results: 6) OC With voltage increase For the most of graphics cards will be available regarding the possibility of increasing voltage just for core. Moreover, it is often the GPU Tweak-final slider and the maximum safe limit for cooling. Exceptions are again Matrix series or special tuners unlocked value to determine. Generally it can be said that in generation of Kepler and Maxwell sufficient to increase voltage by about 0.1 to 0.15V versus nominal core voltage. If you accidentally card with this setting core voltage to the maximum limit+ with higher clocks will be stable and yet the result of the 3D Mark will be lower, you have encountered power target. It will be necessary to reduce the required core voltage. Attention also put on the temperature and try to keep your temperature below 85 C under load. I increase voltage from 1.213V up to 1.256V reasonable maximum / optimum for Maxwell. Frequency of Boost core jumped guaranteed to 1412 MHz, memory clocks up to 7720 MHz effectively. At GPU-Z you can see that the maximum boost was even in practice at 1474 MHz. This figure suggests that the card is cooled with a large margin. In the game I achieved an improvement of 5.1 FPS at Xtreme setting, it is about 9% more than in the base/stock settings clocks. Mathematically we are at the core of this edition rose by 5% and memory by 10%, we can say that the very performance-jump corresponds. For less cyclical cards such as the GTX series by Strix get greater percentage difference from the default and thus higher jump in games. Article was gradually complementing the approximate value of overclocking families Kepler and Maxwell. Anyway, always proceed in small steps, all carefully and try some of the first 3D Mark and subsequently playing or OCCT test before driving again on the next MHz up .

So I've been overclocking my 970 with gpu tweak and it hit 1400mhz pretty easily, but that's as far as the slider will go, I've looked up people getting higher clocks by enabling "overclocking range enhancement" but my gpu tweak doesn't seem to have that option on the settings screen. I've even used multiple versions of gpu tweak.

Hey guys so Im looking to over clock my gpu. I have Asus gpu tweak on my pc and it has a preset gaming profile. Is it safe to select this, or should I just slowly increase the clocks while benchmarking? Not sure if this is the right section.
