Ghostmaker Posted October 9 Posted October 9 hello all, this is something i know nothing about. ive seen a few youtube videos but not yet had the guts to click it. i have a nvidia 4090 and 7800x3d dcs setup, what will clicking this button actually do for me if anything? and is it actually worth it? below is a screen shot before turning it on
Hiob Posted October 9 Posted October 9 In short. It won't hurt, but it will increase temps and energy consumption slightly. You may gain 3-5 fps, but honestly nothing meaningful. I don't know if the "automatic" from nvidia is any good, but essentially it'll do what you would do otherwise manually with afterburner for example.

SharpeXB Posted October 9 Posted October 9 This gave me a small boost in another game but no improvement in DCS, despite being GPU bound here no trouble with temps or anything on my card i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 OC | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | T.Flight Rudder Pedals | TrackIR 5
okopanja Posted October 9 Posted October 9 The feature is supposed to judged a safe level at which it can overclock your GPU. Feature is safe, since NVIDIA is behind it and will not lead to insane overclocking like other methods. You might get like 30-40 MHz higher clock. Feature takes like 10 minutes to measure your system initial and takes into account temps and well power of your system. During this time try not use it, and be prepared for increased noise over the time. Later it runs occasionally to assess this during realistic load. Relatively none to minor gains. Condition: green
Hiob Posted October 9 Posted October 9 There are three ways a Nvidia (any GPU really) can be tweaked for more performance. 1. Increase the Clock Speed on the GPU (there may be some room before you become unstable, may vary between games/scenes) 2. Increase the Clock Speed for the VRAM (same, less variance between games/scenes though) Most importantly, to actually enable the GPU to run stable at higher frequencies you need to push higher volltage. Higher Voltage + More GPU cycles per time = more energy consumption => more waste heat. Depending on your cooling solution, you may not notice an actual increase of GPU temps, because your fans (e.g.) compensate by pushing more air. When you used fixed RPM on your cooling solution, you will notive though. That is, if the performance potential you're generating is actually used. Your GPU is still following a response curve which determines the clock bin depending on load and temperature headroom.

diego999 Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Not worth it in my opinion but you can safely test to see if it makes any difference for you.
Ghostmaker Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago Nice to see the replies here, as a newbie to systems i dont really know too much. I did however buy at the time the best i could for dcs to get the best graphics. I may not bother doing this then. Im running a nvidia 4090 with 7800X3d and use HP Reverb G2 Vr, personally thought about replacing the reverb with a pimax crystal light for better visuals..... my be worth doing?
