Nvidia Inspector - Overclocking, GPU-Z - I Don't Understand How the OC Works

Featured Replies

Can anyone help me understand how this works? I read several treads on this and am confused.I recently installed the "Inspector" and GPU-Z, I used the Inspector to setting recommended for FSX and followed those instructions.I gather that once it is set you can close it down and it will not need to be running to be working as you have set it.But I do not understand the overclocking section, I click on the tab at the bottom right and it opens up an overclocking section. I do not understand, is this something that just runs by itself and for information only or can I affect changes which might help boost my FPS?Is there some instruction on the use of the overclocking section available?

The inspector overclocking section is a way to MANUALLY increase video card performance. If you don't know what you're doing, don't touch it.What I do recommend is to click on the symbol showing a little graph. Then make a flight in e.g. New York where lot's of scenery objects have to be displayed. The graph will show you, if your graphics card is reaching it's limits. For me that is not at all true. My CPU is at 99% (open the task manager to find out) so definitely the bottleneck. So overclocking the CPU makes much more sense.Make the above test and see if that's true for your system as well.Here's a picture from FS9 hardware testing:G6kvT.jpg

OK I get what you are talking about, however, I have no idea on what adjustment to make using the OC section, what min and max locks are for and now they work....whomever made this utility obviously believes that everyone knows what they are doing I guess, there is no simple explanation on usage that I could find.

Like I said, forget about the OC section in the inspector, you don't need that. You already applied the recommended inspector settings, so you're good.If you want more performance work through the tweaks on this forum, and/or look into overclocking your CPU, not GPU!

OK then, thanks for the link, I have tweaked my fsx.cfg to death but never looked into OC. I just thought there was a way using the above inspector module to be able to do that.Thanks for your comments.
