OverClocking GPU

BARBOUSS · April 13, 2023

Hi guys

I just wanted to know if this is normal happening to the gpu, when i bought my gpu on the oc menu in nvidia scanner the oc would go to +170Mhz, now when i do the scanning it doesn t pass the +140 my gpu is recent i bought it in november and it is a INNO3D TWIN X2 RTX3050,

thats a high oc. I oc my 3060 gaming x incrementally as everyone should. Its probably just a stability issue, also you wont see 20 or 30 less frames if your oc is going down by 30 mhz only. If it is that means its keeping its thermals under control, even if they're very low, then inno3d put that in for longevity (same with my 3060)

Gpus are temperature sensitive, given that when you first got it was late fall/early winter (assuming you're in the northern hemisphere) I'm guessing it's pretty cold at that time. It's heating up now, and it being 5-10C hotter at ambient is easily the difference between 30MHz being stable and not.

Maybe you've installed some random crapware running in the background, reducing performance a bit? I myself need to clean out my dust filters every month, so dust build up could in theory also already be lowering performance. And as Ronothan said, ambient temps can also be an (serious) impact. Maybe you're using an older PSU, which is starting to show it's age? Factors for this lowered OC are almost limitless. I myself wouldn't worry about this at all. And in the end, it's "just" a 3050.
