Well on my end, once I ran the OC Scanner with my memory overclock intact it actually did produce me an average clock slightly higher than what I was using and treating as stable previously. The benefit of something like this over a static clock, is it can test different clocks at different voltage points, its a real pain to test stability at all those different clock/voltage points manually.

Gone with the OC Scanner overclock, because, as it picks out I'm essentially hitting power limit, which I cant increase on this laptop unfortunately, but at least this way my curve is potentially more optimal than a static +125 core.

Producing a Firestrike score of 10350 which I'm pretty happy for, given how much I paid for this laptop around a year ago :)

Yeah just found this quick tutorial, seems fairly straight forward.

if it uses curve it has my backing, the offset system is not as good as voltage curve tuning, interesting as well is that there is now a button to click on to get to the curve editor as well, as the vast majority of people wasnt even aware there was a curve editor in afterburner.

just played 2-3 hours of bf 5 and that usually shows up anything dodgy pretty quick. 2088 on my titan x (pascal) up from about 2030-2060. well chuffed. nice one nvidia (must be all those 1070tis they need to shift)

I did it on my laptop +250 I think, miles higher than I could get it stable before! Like desktop speeds, but.. I save the exported curve and then it makes it go up like a hundred which is unstable??

Oh... you mean water cooling?
Yep. Did you increase the power slider and press save before running the scanner? You can overclock your memory manually as well. I just do a bit of research to see what most of the cards like mine do, set it to that and adjust up if it’s fine, down if I get lock ups. Never had a card die on me yet.

I left power at 100%.

Should I increase it to 120%? (max)

Absolutely! This just lets the card draw more power if it needs it. Slide it to 120%, click apply then run the scanner. Press test when it’s done then save to a number. I would run with just the core overclock for a bit and once you know it’s stable fiddle with the memory.

Okay so I've found that a fixed offset is marginally better for me than a tweaked curve.

+130 core (offset) beats the curve produced. +140 is only benchmark stable.

The curve has an average overclock of +126 according to the scanner but I believe has higher top end clocks of +139. With the curve set if I adjust the slider one way or the other it is moving around +139.

There is barely anything on it. We are talking like 50 points on superposition with 1080p extreme.

This is using a 1080Ti which is already factory overclocked by 38mhz.

Peak clocks after overclocking above is around 2076/2088mhz (120% power).
