MSI 1660ti Gaming X 3D usage

[Pyrofull One]

ok i just got the new msi gaming x 1660ti today, i ran thru some good tests such as playing games etc, while watching the GPU graph chart in task manager, is it normal for the 3D to be 95-100% while gaming or somewhat in full load whatever?

jesus christ i left to go eat and came back seeing this at extreme 99%

When you are using it, sure it is normal for the GPU load to be rather high, although I find that task manager often inflates just how much the GPU is under load, get MSI Afterburner.

when you are playing games and your cpu isnt bottlenecking, gpu usage should be 99%. thats what the gpu is for

0MHz overclock, can't get lazier than that (I know you let OC scanner do it, not yourself). You should do it yourself, with maxed out power limit.

What games do you have? Make sure Afterburner doesn't apply settings automatically. Basically you play the most stressful game, get it to window mode, get to Afterburner and start raising the memory offset in 50MHz intervals until it crashes. You remember the last stable memory setting, raise with 10MHz intervals until it crash again, do 50MHz less next time and call that your 24/7 setting. Then repeat the same with core clock offset, with 24/7 memory setting

sadly I play none of those games so I cant tell how stressful they are. So far FFXV and Metro Exodus are the most harsh from what I have played.

 

but NVM, use heaven benchmark in loop mode instead. Just keep in mind that games could freeze and you'll have to dial things back further, and I suggest starting with the core for sudden crashes and memory for artifacts.

bar? which bar?

 

btw let it stress for a minute or two before raising it again.
