nvidia 1050 2GB OC?

[aryanpall]

how would i go about with overclocking my asus nvidia geforce 1050(safley ) ??

with MSI Afterburner.... there is no way to OC it and damage it without physical modification, the in-built limitations are quite severe so you can't really damage it.

im very new like new new to this so i dont know what to do i do have msi afterburner and that stress bench thing ?  but  how do i go about with is, can yuou link me to a thread, post or yt video

 

thanks and appreciate the reply

1. Download MSI Afterburner
2. Download some sort of benchmark/stress test (I like Time Spy, in my experience it's very good about finding instability in cards, plus it's free with the 3DMark Demo)
3. Run the benchmark as a baseline, take down the score
4. Run Afterburner. 
5. Max out the power limit slider and increase the fan curve to as aggressive as you can stand
6. Raise the core clock in 50MHz increments, running the stress test/benchmark after each one, making sure the score actually is going up.
7. Once it crashes, back off in 25MHz increments until it's stable again. 
8. Start with the memory slider, increasing in 100MHz increments until it either crashes or see weird artifacting (things on the screen that shouldn't be there)
9. Once it's not stable, back off in 50MHz increments until it's stable. 
10. Save as profile 1
11. Hit the "Start with Windows button" 
12. Stress test by playing all the games you like and seeing if it crashes. If it does, start backing off each of the sliders till that stops happening. 
13. Enjoy your overclocked GPU.

Just a quick explanations, hopefully enough to grasp this, it should be straightforward:

 

You have GPU Clock, VRAM Clock, Power Limit, Voltage and Fan Speed to adjust.

 

The card clocks higher the cooler it is, the higher the power limit the higher the headroom but also temperature, the higher the voltage the more power is needed the bigger the temperature.

 

Maxing out the power limit is fine, don't touch voltage unless there is cooling headroom.

At first adjust just GPU Clock in small increments like +25MHz once it starts to be unstable lower the increments or increase voltage or fan speed.

 

Once you get GPU clock as high as possible before the card is unstable, repeat process with VRAM Clock.

VRAM instability usually does not crash your card driver like unstable GPU clockbut you will see visual artifacting. Should be possible at the very least to do +300MHz on the VRAM if you got good VRAM even +600MHz should work fine.

 

 

Use any free GPU benchmark for testing or just run a demanding game or a game that has in built benchmark. Have in mind that just because the card passes the benchmark it does not mean it's stable, it may still cause issues in some other games.

how do i know if its unstable when i do +25 increases ??

The graphics driver will crash or freeze, resulting in temporary black screen and application crash/freeze.

 

Some very minor instabilities may not do this in which case the performance will drop and be worse than non-OC.

i ran the strees bench without doing anything to OC my gpu and its at a steady 18 fps ????
