How to Overclock Your GPU Safely with MSI Afterburner

Unlocking 5% - 12% Free Extra FPS

Overclocking your graphics card increases GPU core clock frequencies and video memory bandwidth, extracting extra performance from your existing hardware safely.

Step-by-Step GPU Overclocking Workflow:

1. Increase Power & Temperature Limit: Slide Power Limit slider to maximum (e.g. 108% - 115%) in MSI Afterburner.
2. Increase Core Clock Offset (+15MHz Increments): Boost Core Clock in +15MHz increments, testing stability using 3DMark or FurMark benchmarks until artifacting occurs.
3. Overclock Video Memory (GDDR6X +500MHz): Increase VRAM memory clock in +100MHz increments for improved 4K texture throughput.
