All of this makes it a great tool, but the reason why we would give it a gold star as the best one is its simplicity and ease of use. That's pretty much par for the course when it comes to GPU overclocking. The great thing about MSI Afterburner is that it helps you slowly and carefully adjust not only the GPU’s core clock, but also to tinker with memory clock as well as fan speed, power limit and core voltage. With these boosted settings, the GPU will now. On average, the overclock improved performance by 8% at 1080p, 9% at 1440p, and 10% at 4K. 1.The first thing you will need to do is set both the ‘Power Limit’ and the ‘Temp Limit’ sliders to the maximum. We'll include the results for our overclocked settings in the charts below. But GDDR6 temperatures are usually quite a bit lower than GDDR6X. Unfortunately, there aren't any temperature sensors for the GDDR6 memory, so we don't know if the chips were getting hot or not. The cooling solution on the EVGA card is decent but not extravagant, so fan speeds ended up at around 80% with these settings, but GPU temperatures were fine with a maximum of 69C. We also pushed the power limit up by 11%, which provides at least some of the performance gains, and typical clocks during testing were in the 2.0–2.1GHz range. After testing and tuning, we ended up with a maximum stable overclock of +200 MHz on the GPU core, and +1000 MHz (17Gbps effective speed) on the memory.
