Overclocking with OC Scanner
Overclocking The Graphics Card with OC Scanner
NVIDIA has introduced a new way of overclocking and tweaking starting at RTX (and only for). Basically, you can now automatically overclock the GPU. By pressing the OC scanner button you can have a software algorithm test and check intervals and voltage frequency curves, the scanner will try to determine a stable overclock, this is presented in a curve and that curve can be applied for your tweak.
In (beta 4.6.0) Afterburner, hit Contol+F and you will see the OC Scanner button. Hitting the scan button can take 10 to 20 minutes of testing. It will define a new stable overclocking curve, once finished in Afterburner hit apply and you are good to go.
So admittedly, I've never been a fan of automated overclocking processes often ending in instability and crashes. That has changed, the new scanner offers a very stable and a very gentle way of GPU overclocking. I do say GPU overclocking as the scanner does not touch things like your VRAM. I have run many tests in the pre-beta phase when we have been developing and getting afterburner ready for this. It will be interesting to read what you guys think of the new technology, which will find its way into the GeForce 1000 series as well.
For this session with the OC scanner we increased the power limiter to its maximum 110%, we also cranked up voltage and the temp limiter and then started the OC Scanner. The performance difference based on OC Scanner, however, is very more in the conservative side than a manual tweak. It's a gentle way of tweaking though. The algorithm is defined by NVIDIA. On average we yielded 4~5% in extra performance and maybe you yield 5% in a good scenario. So my advice, find a stable memory overclock, crank up the voltage limiter and power limiter and try a scan. You'll be surprised.
