One of the runaway features for NVIDIA's latest RTX-20 series of graphics cards was the introduction of support for the OC Scanner feature - a program that automagically tests a range of frequencies on your NVIDIA graphics card and overclocks it to a deemed "stable" sweet-spot. This practically obviates the need for manual fine-tuning, though of course, the best results should always be found down that road - provided there's enough tinkering.The latest version of MSI's Afterburner (v4.6.0 beta 10, available in the source link) now brings this functionality to Pascal-based graphics cards (besides some other features, such as voltage control, for Turing; check the entire release notes after the break). Have fun.

I like these new scanners as they actually work pretty well



I use the EVGA Precison X1 tool and with the scanner managed to hit 2070MHz on the core from the stock 1410MHz and I like it also tests the OC as well for stability Posted on Dec 26th 2018, 8:10 Reply

The b10 name is for AB, not the version of scanning software. ;) About time, msi!!!!???? Scanner is the same...it just found its way into MSI AB.

X1 scanning worked fine but I don't like its buggy fan control. Will give this a try after getting off work later today.

Scanner was not a part of msi ab until just now in 4.6 b10.



In the other thread you were using 4.5. Posted on Dec 26th 2018, 8:38 Reply

EarthDog Scanner was not a part of msi ab until just now in 4.6 b10. So you had no idea? I have been using AB Beta 9 for Turning scanner overclock for several months now.

MSI Afterburner v4.6.0 beta 9 (build 13319) Added NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture support:

Added voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20x0 series graphics cards Advanced GPU Boost control for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20x0 series graphics cards. Extended voltage/frequency curve editor on GeForce RTX 20x0 family graphics cards allows you to tune additional piecewise power/frequency floor and temperature/frequency floor curves. Control points on those new curves allow you to control GPU Boost power and thermal throttling algorithms more precisely than traditional power limit and thermal limit sliders Hardware abstraction layer has been revamped to provide support for multiple independent fans per GPU due to introducing dual fan design on reference design NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20x0 series graphics cards and due to introducing native dual fan control in NVAPI. Both fans of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20x0 can be monitored independently in hardware monitoring module now and can be controlled synchronically in manual mode Added NVIDIA Scanner technology support Improved hardware monitoring module: Added thermal offset for CPU temperature monitoring on AMD Ryzen 7 2700X processors “Pagefile usage” graph in hardware monitoring module has been renamed to “Commit charge”

Apparently not.



And neither does the writer who posted this... look at the title. ;)



Edit: omg..... I see where I went wrong.. support for PASCAL. Hahahahaha. I'm going to grab some coffee.

AB scanner implementation was not as good as X1. But AB's fan control is definitely better than X1. As I can't get the damn X1 to remember my fan curve after reboot no matter what I do.





At the same time I do wonder whether AB can implenment something similar on the AMD GPU as well. Yeah looks like you need A LOT OF coffee.AB scanner implementation was not as good as X1.

Overall good MSI update.



Happy to report back the new scanner API implementation is a lot more stable comparing to V9 beta of AB. The scanning actually took less time as well comparing to older scanner API. The final V/F curve is less aggressive comparing to previous API, in which I consistently getting +172 core. Now it is just +137 core. Still the performance using V/F curve overclocking is better comparing to manual overclocking at same target speed, probably due to V/F curve OC smooth out the downclocking once power limit is hit.Overall good MSI update.

I can open the editor window, but clicking the OC Scanner button does nothing. Posted on Dec 26th 2018, 21:24 Reply

how did you bring up the curve editor? how did you bring up the curve editor? Posted on Dec 26th 2018, 22:40 Reply

Should I leave the fan curve be controlled by the OC Scanner? It sets my fan curve to AUTO...if I click the manual curve option, it ramp ups my fan speed...shouldn't this be at 100% when scanning? I mean, thermals can affect the total boost to nvidia cards... Posted on Dec 26th 2018, 22:48 Reply
