Nvidia App Auto GPU Overclocking

Featured Replies

I have a Zotac 4070Ti Super GPU and have not tired to overclock it. I now see the Nvidia App has an auto tune 'feature' which will supposedly optimizes the overclocking of your GPU. Has anyone tried this? If so, thoughts? Did it work well? If desired, can you reverse the auto tune result and go back to a non-overclock condition?

Thanks,
Al

I did the auto tune with a 4070 (not ti, not super). It increased the temps and clock speeds by about 4% or something. It is very conservative. And yes you can undo it in the app.

It's located in System / Performance.

Why would you even consider this?

To upgrade performance. My gpu is an "overclock" edition.

So is mine... leave this expensive GPU well alone!

Hi Bert,

I tend to agree with you, especially if the gain from overclocking is small. That's why I have not over clocked my 7800X3d CPU or the GPU.  As long as I can get reasonably sim performance I tend to leave "well enough alone" and keep temps down.  I'm new to the Nvidia app and was just curious about the auto tune feature.

Thanks very much for the info.  Do you find a 4% clock gain is noticeable when the sim runs?

OC your GPU for MSFS 20/24 wil give you 0,5-2% more fps, so it is not worth doing so.

Especially when locking your framerate it is  useless.

Instead consider undervolting. I fixed my 4080 to 1.000V and now I never see more than 200W usage in MSFS2024. Nice and quiet. And the clockspeeds are exactly the same as with default voltage and over 200W...

I used this to oc my 3080 a couple of years back for fs2020 and it ran fine in all that time, but when I moved to fs2024 I forgot that I had done this and was having regular PC shutdowns.  Whilst troubleshooting these, I remembered that I had used this tool and reset to stock, which cured my shutdowns.

My suspicion in this case was that the mild GPU overclock was just pushing my PSU too hard.

Agree completely. I've got one of these very capable cards. The almost imperceptible gain in over clocking a gpu is simply not worth the risk.

We're at the stage where you can say the same about modern cpu's too.

I undervolt my 4090 as well, I run mine at 2700mhz, 0,975V and +1000mhz on memory, my card will never go over 300W and the performance is better, and it runs cooler than standard, I use MSI Afterburner.

id listen to these two, both know what they are on about when it comes to technical stuff.

I am using an older 3080 stock and some how hit the silicon lottery. Very fast and solid card. I was wondering anyone had any under volting setings they could share.?
