Hey Overclocking gurus. I want a little more *umph* out of my card. Car is an MSi GTX 1050 Ti 4GT OC. I've provided a link to the card, and a screenshot of my current overclocking settings. Thanks in advance.

Get into the settings menu of Afterburner. There's a setting that enables voltage monitoring and control.

What next? I thought voltages were how much power the GPU was getting. Granted I'm not good with software.

Then you should be able to increase the voltage. Just slam that slider all the way to the right. As long as the BIOS remains stock it wouldn't hurt your card at all. This should give better stability when overclocked and allows higher clock speed.

 

Also, the "power limit" and "temperature limit" should all go to the far right as well.

 

Then you can use GPU stressing software (I use Kombustor since I can fire it up within Afterburner, but Furmark is also fine) to test the maximum stable overclock.

To me personally that's kinda sketch, but I'll give it a shot. I'll let you know if I get any improvements
