Been having some issues with MSI Afterburner so I was trying the overclock feature of Nvidia Inspector.Does Inspector have to be running for the overclock settings to 'stick'?I have rebooted and called up inspector and the OC settings are still there, but Im not sure what happens when I exit Inspector?Any ideas?Thanks,Glenn

Check with MSI Afterburner, or GPU-Z :)

i understand that you want to squeeze as much FPS out as possible with OC'ing.But, you have to remember that FSX isn't GPU bound. It is a PCIe hog and a CPU hog. OC'ing the GPU likely will provide little FPS gain.

Understood, but I also use the PC for other stuff besides FSX.With MSI Afterburner I had a rock solid 820Mhz GPU frequency with the memory at 2100MhzSeems a shame not to keep those signifcant improvements over the 570 stock settings for the sake of the Afterburner program.Inspector seems to do the job, just didnt know if it was a 'permanent' setting between reboots and if the Inspector program had to be running for the overclock to take effect.I will follow the advice from Dazz and use GPUZ to check!Thanks,

Confirmed with GPUZ.Overclock settings 'stick' without having inspector running and between re-boots.

When in heavy clouds, a healthy overclock gives me +5 FPS. Remember, FSX is typically CPU bound but that's not a rule.I'll look and see what I've got my GPU core speed up to.

Since Nvidia inspector will oc the gpu on the fly you will see it's effect immediately in fsx. So it's easy to see if a particular fsx session will benefit from a gpu overclock. For my system I will see an increase in performance with something like a carenado aircraft when I oc the gpu. On the otherside, a gpu oc with the NGX will not increase performance as in that session I am bottlenecked at the CPU.FYIJBSent from my iPhone using TapatalkJB

Overclocking the GPU can produce frame rate improvements if you're using high levels of AA...overclocking my 580 does increase frames with 8xS and 2x transparency AA on a 2560x1600 display.nvidiainspector does not have to be running after making changes...it is an interface to write out settings read/used by the driver.
