nvidia boost

[Noob872]

What is nvidia boost and what does it do. I have a gtx 1650 super. I would like to also know the pros and cons to using this software. 

 

Thanks

Nvidia's GPU boost automatically improves clock speeds based on thermals and power overhead. It is enabled by default, and is basically free performance in most cases. The only con is really that it confuses newer users who see clock speeds far above advertised.

there aren't available settings for GPU boost (I don't even know how to disable it honestly) but it basically can be circumvented easily, if you need to. You can use GPU overclock software like MSI afterburner to put a power/clock speed limit on the graphics card if need be.

 

The program doesn't much need to be adjusted, since it's pretty sophisticated.
