Overclocking - MSI Gaming APP

With the new Gaming series also comes a simplified software suite called MSI Gaming APP, basiaclly for the novice users you can easily click a preference with the help of a small software utility.

Gamers will be able to switch to the high performance gaming mode with just one press of a button without the need for dedicated hardware, know-how, or having to jump through hoops. In this mode, the extra cooling performance ensures a smooth performance for all games. In the power save mode, the graphics card operates in a low power state to silence the fans for a comfortable Internet and working environment. 

The default mode resets the graphics card to factory default settings. Simply switch between the three modes to match the performance requirements with just a single click.

The first method is the MSI Gaming App. This is a simple, small in size, overclocking tool for the GPU. It has three modes in total

  • Gaming Mode – which overclocks the GPU a bit and adjusts the fan speed
  • Eco Mode which actually reduces core clocks and fan speed
  • Default Mode which sets it back to factory settings.

Now be aware of this though, the overclock is based on the maximum boost clock. Hence manual tweaking with Afterburner will yield much better results. The MSI Gaming App will leave your memory clock frequency in-tact as well.

Personally, I am not a fan of these additional utilities. Just place the "OC Mode" frequency in the BIOS and make it default I'd say. The card remains silent and well cooled regardless.
