Sometimes after the installation of some games it turns out that the power of the video card is not enough. It is very upsetting users, because from the application either you will need to refuse, or you have to buy a new video adapter. In fact, there is another problem solving option - using MSI AfterBurner. This is a program that is created to overclock the video card at full power. In addition to the main function, there is also additional, for example, monitoring system, capture video and creating screenshots.
How to use msi afterburner
Before working with the program, users need to be aware that with incorrect actions of the video card may be spoiled. Therefore, you should clearly follow the instructions. Unwanted and automatic overclocking mode.
MSI Afterburner supports video cards NVIDIA and AMD. . If you have another manufacturer, which is unlikely, to use the tool will not work. You can see the name of your card at the bottom of the program (highlighted yellow).
Run and configure the program
Run MSI Afterburner through a shortcut that was created on the desktop. We need to set the initial settings, without which many actions in the program will not be available. Expose all the ticks that are visible in the screenshot. If you have two video cards in your computer, then add a tick in the field "Synchronize the settings of the same GP" . After which Zhmem. "OK".
We will see a notification that the program needs to be restarted. Zhmem. "Yes" . You don't need anything else, the program will be restarted in automatic mode.
Core Voltage.
By default, the Core Voltage slider is blocked. However, after we set the basic settings (checkbox in the voltage unlock field), it should start moving. If, after restarting the program, it is still not active, it means that this function is not supported by your video card model.Core Clock and Memory Clock
Core clock slider adjusts the frequency of the video card. In order to start overclocking, you need to move it right. Move the controller should be gradually, with a step of no more than 50 MHz. In the process of overclocking, it is important to prevent overheating of the device. If the temperature rises above 90 degrees Celsius, the video adapter breaks.
Further test your video card with a third-party program, for example, videotester. If everything is in order, you can repeat the procedure and move the regulator by another 20-25 units. We do this until we see the image defects on the screen. It is important to identify the upper limit of the values. When it is determined, we reduce the frequency of units on 20 to disappear defects. The same makes the same with the Memory Clock.
To check the changes made by us we can play some game with high requirements for the video card. In order to monitor the adapter indicators in the process, configure the monitoring mode.
Monitoring
Go to B. "Settings-Monitoring" . Select the necessary indicator from the list, for example, "Loading GP1" . Below we put a tick "Show in an overlaid screen display".
Next, alternately add the remaining indicators for which we will observe. Additionally, you can configure the monitor display mode and hotkeys. To do this, go to the tab "OED".

For those who have this section, put a tick opposite "Enable software user mode" . The information will be displayed as a graph at which the temperature of the video card is displayed at the bottom, and in the left column, the cooler speed, which can be changed manually, moving the squares. Although this is not recommended.
Saving settings
At the end stage of the acceleration of the video card, we must save the settings made. To do this, press the icon "Save" And choose one of the 5 profiles. You also need to use the button. "Windows" , To start new settings when starting the system.
Now go to the section "Profiles" and choose there in the string " 3D " your profile.
