What do I mean? Assuming you are buying two GTX 1070 FTW which is strongly considered as having a Tier 1 GPUs equipped, one of them might not be as good as an overclocker as the other. Yes they might be able to get clocked a little higher, but they are not the best or the unicorn rainbow part of the silicon waffle. Now as you’ve just read about product binning, you should realize that there is no such thing as cherry picking on these GPUs. in my case it actually allows me to overclock higher than doing it the manual way.The rest that aren’t as capable will be placed into Tier 2, 3, 4, Hufflepuff, and until there are a few derps left that couldn’t understand jack, they are sent back to NVIDIA for other life choice reconsideration. oc scanner adjusts clocks differently for different voltages so it's more finely tuned to the characteristics of your gpu in a way.

after a few minutes it will also spit out a curve for you, just apply and done.Įdit: forgot to mention that the curve it generates is not the same as brute forcing your way through with manually increasing core clocks.

In afterburner you have to first enable voltage monitoring/control in settings, restart the app, then press on the super tiny wifi-looking icon next to core clocks (or open the voltage curve yourself with ctrl+f) and hit "oc scanner" and click on "scan". Works with the new msi afterburner 4.6 beta though, might wanna give that a try: Or you would be, unfortunately I couldn't get the evga program to remember the frequency settings, they will be lost on reboot even if I check "remember previous settings" in the settings menu :( now dial in the memory clock and you're good to go! Once the scanning is done you just press on "apply" and that's it, no need to touch core clock yourself. it will say like +123 in the score field for example which would be the average clock frequency increase it determined. it's going through voltages and checks how far the clocks can go, then makes a voltage/frequency curve out of it at the end. while it is scanning you will see the green dots go above the blue line in certain intervals. after about 15-20 minutes scanning is done.
