Wassup gamers,
Today i tried overclocking my GPU to get the most out of it buuuut... i have an unfortunate problem with my laptop regarding to MSI Afterburner, basically i cannot run the OC in MSI Afterburner, i tried setting PhysX on my main GPU and running the afterburner with dedicated GPU (via windows settings) but still no luck and even though I did that the OC would always show me this when i tried to scan my system:

*
23:41:12 Connected to MSI Afterburner control interface v2.3
23:41:14 GPU1 : VEN_10DE&DEV_2191&SUBSYS_85FE103C&REV_A1&BUS_1&DEV_0&FN_0
23:41:14 Failed to start scannning!
<---- (okay afterburner as you say so... this mistake wasn't made by me)
*
Now i don't know what the hell this means and I don't even know what the problem is, i can tell y'all that the afterburner worked fine before. I tried it today but no luck, i hope someone knows how to fix this problem. I can say that this is either an update problem or it's not supporting the latest Nvidia drivers or is it a problem with the latest update.
I hope it has a solve, also i have the latest GPU updates, latest windows version update... yes i downloaded the MSI Afterburner from the original MSI site " https://www.msi.com/Landing/afterburner/graphics-cards. I used the afterburner before but i forgot to use it so i uninstalled it and never thought of it... now i need it to overclock GPU powerdraw, i just need some good performance on a game.

mobile device is now unsupported
manual CTR+F - voltage curve !!

OC-SCAN not works for "power limit" devices !! "not exist stability"

////////// ,,, VRAM no need OC -draw all power "more power limit"
OC offset + voltage curve limit

,.,duplicate topic !!!
Max-Q Design - max no power "less TDP"
HP ? here is MSI support

I know it's an HP product but the program is a thirdparty app from MSI ?!
They told me to ask at the MSI forums to see if there is any solution to this since they didn't make the program!?
 
>>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<

No reason to be posting this same post in multiple sections of the forums. Make 1 post, and that's it. Should be common sense honestly.....

I already know that mate, the problem here is not that many people live in forums 24/7 and these kind of posts pass by no-one noticing problems from other MSI products, I once had an MSI GT63 TITAN-046 i had problems regarding the GPU because it wasn't being detected by some games/ programs, i wrote a support ticked and didn't even get noticed and i even came to this forum and asked that 3-2 years ago i expected more but okay thanks for helping to the other guy, you're a mod and didn't even help.

So you're going to admit you knew the rules, admit you broke them knowingly, and then argue about the rules, and just complain more?

I'm not here to answer every question or every post. Especially if I have no idea regarding an answer.

I'd choose your next post wisely.....because this is the last warning.

OC-SCAN works on old version on notebooks
but all results is unstable !! - AUTO is for DESKTOP ,,.,notebook need MANUAL way !


Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design - low TDP GPU !!! "0.750-0.850V -is your target + 200offset / vram - this draw all power - untouched "no OC" !
87C is maximum
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
fast way for undervolt or OC + undervolt
.. look video link for all afterburner controls
.........
example ,,you need to find ,,custom voltage limit + max usable OC

EXAMPLE - + 200 OC offset + new limit - 0.781V
best is find AVG voltage in your games - this lock + add max OC offset
////////////////////////////////
edit guide

2.30min
starts under volt + OC "need find max voltage before TDP or high TEMP "games or stess"
,.and all other points set lower ,,cutom voltage curve


//////
,.,..,and use your imagination ,,.,. translation will not be good
