i was just about to try it but thought u would ask you guys first

 

[Mr. Stroker]

No

Oc on your own.

 

[noobclocker1277]

ok. i just just thinking of using it to get to a point then take it from there

It lets me get higher overclocks.

It seems to bump the voltage up slightly when it runs.

Afterward, I can always raise the clocks a little higher than I could before. I've confirmed this on every driver since the release of the 4850.

No, don't bother with it. The Autotune is too slow in reacting and increases clocks too fast when it does it's self-testing. You usually will end up crashing or locking up your system. A slow small manual approach with either MSI afterburner or AMD GPU Clock tool, work best.

edit: or just use CCC manually.

using after burner what sort of step should i use? and what do you recommend i use to test the overclock?

 

[Coolchris330]

I'm really new to overclocking, but I read on Guru3D that novices are recommended to add 5% of the original speed on each time. Also, I could be wrong. I'm just as new as you.

And the Crysis benchmark is what you should use to test it.

 

[Arrowslinger]

It works just fine

Auto tune 940/1040

Manual 940/1040

Afterburner 940/1040

All the same

Afterburner didnt like my cards but seems to work on newer cards. I also use occt or furmark to test.

 

[noobclocker1277]

what does 940/1040 mean?

 

[ignite]

It's alright but it tends to 'exaggerate' overclock stability. Atleast it did that when they just released the auto-tune. I haven't used it in a while as I just set my OC manually.

940/1040 is the overclock, as in, core/memory speed.

msi says max coreclock is 815
