Easy overclocking guide

[marcemarc30]

Hi guys, i want to try to overclock my GPU, what is the best guide to use that is easy to understand as i have never overclocked anything before. My gpu is a msi gaming trio x rtx 2080

I don't think you even need a guide.

 

Download MSI Afterburner first

 

In AB's settings menu, enable voltage monitoring, max out power limit

 

run a GPU heavy game that can peg it to super high usage (use max settings and run highest resolutions if possible)

 

Raise core clock offset by 20MHz, until something abnormal happens (crashes, artifacts etc). The last number that didnt give you problems minus 40MHz is your stable overclock

 

Same for memory

 

if you don't like the stock fan control you can set your own one, in the settings menu you can set a custom fan curve and use that instead.
