Now that you know what GPU you're using and (hopefully) the manufacturer, you should start searching for overclocking results on the web.įor instance, from my Speccy results earlier, I know I'm using an MSI-manufactured Nvidia GeForce GTX 760.
Now, before you get ahead of yourself… you should probably stop and do some research. Unless you're running an EVGA GPU, though, there's no real reason to choose this one over Afterburner.unless you just like how it looks more. We'll go over exactly how to use MSI Afterburner in the upcoming sections.ĮVGA PrecisionX is only compatible with Nvidia GPUs, and, like Afterburner, has a few extra features set aside specifically for EVGA-manufactured GPUs. It does offer extra features for MSI GPUs, though, so if you want to make the most of an MSI GPU, go with this one. We're going with MSI Afterburner since it's the industry standard and is compatible with any GPU- AMD or Nvidia- even if MSI isn't the manufacturer. It's mostly small things, like visual differences. Don't worry none of the below software should make a difference with the quality of your overclock. However, you should be able to follow along with the guide if you use one of the other utilities. But still, we appreciate the trip down memory lane.Now for the exciting part: choosing an overclocking program!įor the sake of simplicity and cross-compatibility, we're going to use MSI Afterburner. It reminds us of PCs from the 386 and 486 era which also had a button on the case to adjust system speed "on the fly".Īt the end of the day while having two vBIOSes available could be useful as a safety net for the few who are brave enough to flash the BIOS on their graphics cards, having to manually press a switch all seems rather inelegant when the same could be achieved with a software solution. The NX8600GT Twin Turbo carries not one but two vBIOS chips this allows MSI to provide two sets of core and memory clock settings - normal and turbo - which can be switched between using a button on the back-plate of the card.
Micro-Star International's (MSI's) latest graphics card offering puts a twist on the trend of makers releasing Special Edition or overclock versions of their cards in order to offer slightly better performance.
