Use nVidia Inspector to overclock and MSI Afterburner to monitoring

Hi guys, i have a problem, i can't use Msi AF to overclock because it doesn't work correctly so i'm using nVidia Inspector, but i'd like to use AF to monitor temps, clocks etc... The problem is that if set the clocks with Inspector and then i open AF, my Core clock gets stuck to 540 MHz (from 1089), there is any way to fix this?

 

Try opening AB first and then applying OC thru Inspector. Also, if you set AB to auto start with Windows and Inspector to auto apply clocks at startup, it adds a 30-second delay to the Inspector startup task, which allows AB to load first before the OC is applied.

Inspector has monitoring graphs like AB, but it doesn't have an OSD. However, you can download/run RTSS as a standalone and use it with HWiNFO64 to replicate the same OSD functionality as you would get with AB. AB simply has RTSS bundled together, but you can run RTSS without launching AB. If you're experiencing conflict between Inspector & AB, the RTSS + HWiNFO64 combo works just as well, if not better, since HWiNFO64 monitors many more sensors than AB does.

Another OSD option is PlayClaw, but it is more limited than RTSS.

 

Thank you very much, i solved the issue using HWInfo64 + RTSS , is even better than before because i can show more things and put them where i want around the screen

 

Hi Jajo!!!

I have your laptop but with i7-4702MQ and the same VGA with ddr5. I am not able to overclock my 850M using MSI Afterbur because it seems not to work, i also tried to runs it like administrator but nothing change. I am using 347.09 Driver, Can you wrote me all what i need to these very good results?

GPU: nVidia GTX 850M 2 GB GDDR5 (OC'd to 998/1400 from 863/1253, boost is still active so when i play my core is ever at 1089 MHz )

I am from Italy like you, so if you prefer you can sent to me a private message.

Thx for your help!!!

 

Use a different driver. 347.09 locks out overclocking on your GPU.

 

Which version do you suggest??

 

Try 344.75, works well for me.

 

i use....

Precision X to OC
HWInfo64 + RTSS to monitor

I've been told that the precision X and AB OSD (i am using the 4.2.1 release so they're essentially the same) will interfere with dragon age inquisition so will try with just using HWinfo64 + RTSS to give my stats.

 

Agreed 344.75 has been a solid driver for me.. Stay away from 347.09.. Ocing is locked out for mobile maxwell cards..

 

Thx for your answere,

Is there a way to overpass the +135 Mhz?? How know how to remove that limit?

 

flashing a modded vBIOS.

 

You flash a modded vBIOS from Techinferno forum.. It's usually made by Svl7, Prema, Johnksss etc...
