Nvidias automatic overclocking algorithm, OC Scanner is getting a major rework in the way it runs and the way it's incorporated into overclocking utilities such as MSI Afterburner and EVGA's Precision X1 software. Fixing a lot of issues the previous OC Scanner had. MSI's latest patch notes for Afterburner version 4.6.3 Beta 2 showcase all the new changes made to Nvidia's automatic overclocking program.

These changes fix a lot of headaches with the original OC scanner, namely better stability and identical overclocking results across all overclocking utilities which was not the case with the original implementation.


On a side note, this new implementation of OC Scanner should have good implications on Nvidia's new Ampere GPUs as they are very power limited and struggle to maintain stability above 2GHz. GPUs inherently have excellent efficiency at lower clock speeds and voltages, as a result, OC Scanner will take advantage of this and keep your GPU frequency more stable and allow core clocks to drop less as you start hitting power limit or temperature limits.


You can try the new OC scanner yourself, all you need is an Nvidia 456.xx driver or newer plus MSI Afterburner 4.6.3 Beta 2 or the latest EVGA Precision X1 update. For now, it appears Ampere GPUs are only supported according to EVGA Precision X1's latest patch notes. Hopefully, this is temporary and support will extend to Turing GPUs as well.


GPU Tweak III has caused many problems to my system as the Armoury Crate as well. When it was GPU II I managed to get the oc scanner to work. But since version III it fails before it even starts. I been also having in game problems of freezing screens for 5-15 seconds sometimes making my online gaming impossible. Wonder if I should dump the ROG Technology I have been investing on, Motherboard, Graphics, PSU, etc and go back to good old AMD. I wish the Crossfire work but they have abandoned that technology for a while now. I remember using to $100 cards crossfire and have the performance of a $600 card. Now that I bought the ROG 3070 Ti, at start I was happy but now it sucks so bad. I wonder if the card itself is failing in less than a year and I believe is still, under warranty. Is there a software that can determine a problematic GPU???


The OC scanner identifies the highest clock speed that delivers a stable performance without damaging any of the hardware. It uses the same algorithm developed for RTX 20 series graphics cards by NVIDIA.


The program does so by gradually increasing the clock speed, stressing the GPU, and verifying the stability. When things turn unstable, the last set configuration will be termed stable overclocking settings.


Finally I tried the well regarded MSI afterburner app and found it a bit of a nightmare - whether using the automatic or manual settings, and OC caused FS to crash every time. I uninstalled it, but the OC settings remained applied to the GPU and eventually I had to uninstall the Nvidia drivers completely and start again to be rid of the afterburner settings and have it all work properly again.


If you are convinced this is something you want to try, start very small and test the hell out of MSFS before going further. Then test again. Do not rely on benchmarking or stress software to decide if MSFS will run stable. USE MSFS.


Thank you all for your thoughts and mostly positive contributions. I will leave it as is, enjoy the experience in MSFS and everything else the pc does well, and forget about overclocking or any other radical changes.


I am running a 2060 super at 1080 16:9 stock. Got a whack of Ultra mixed at 200 LODs. I have smooth 50 fps throughout with 35 around LAX and London. All this with an i5 8400 at stock. I have 55-60% CPU and 90% +/- on the GPU. When I tried a small O/C boost it all went in the toilet. I think a lot has to be said about running the hardware at speeds it was designed for and comfortable temps.


The thing is, at this point Intel is milking everything it can from its chips, so you do have an overclocked CPU right out of the box. You could get it to 5Ghz stable on all cores, perhaps 5.1Ghz, but then, as people mentioned, you do have to OC it manually and test it to make it stable.


And auto overclocking is bad. These apps sets the voltage too high. Either you do it manually or you just live it alone. The same thing with Windows power boost and that sort of BS in Power Management. Leave it alone. Let the CPU do its thing.


Before making any more adjustments, I would humbly recommend both ensuring you have all your important data backed up and also, make a Windows Restore Point. Also ensure you know how to get your computer back to factory setup if need be.


Best thing is to check frame rates in developer mode. If you are GPU limited mostly, overclocking your CPU may not get you much. But if your settings have made you CPU limited, every bit of performance you can get by overclocking will help that and give better performance.


NVIDIA has introduced a new way of overclocking and tweaking recently. Basically, you can now automatically overclock the GPU (if supported). By pressing the OC scanner button you can have a software algorithm test and check intervals and voltage frequency curves, the scanner will try to determine a stable overclock, this is presented in a curve and that curve can be applied for your tweak.


The curve overclock is a way more gentle and subtle way of tweaking compared to manual brute forcing. The algorithm is defined by NVIDIA. With my added tweaks on memory and power limiter. My advice, find a stable memory overclock, crank up the power limiter and try a scan. You might up ending being surprised. Results vary.


It should be noted, we are very optimistic that the MEDIT i500 IS the leading intraoral scanner in the industry and that there are a number of scanners on the edge of entering the market with equipment that will also stand up to the desired results required for efficient and quality scanning.


We apologize in advance for any inconvenience when not being able to extend additional options to those who are supportive of our services, however, we stand behind our principles when sourcing the best products in the market for the best value or multiple solutions of equivalent comparison to provide our customers better selection and choice for their respective practices. We look forward to providing you more information at the earliest.


The GPU performance counters can be made accessible to other programs via the NVIDIA Control Panel. We will be showing you how to get rid of the error message in question with a number of solutions in this article, so let us get started.


You should start off with enabling developer mode in your NVIDIA Control Panel when troubleshooting the error message in question. This is because enabling developer mode results in additional GPU being made available for the users on your computer.


This can help in resolving any barriers that are caused by other apps trying to access your GPU details. Enabling the developer mode in NVIDIA Control Panel is quite simple, follow the instructions below:


In some instances, you can get around the error message by enabling the automatic tuning option in the GeForce Experience app. This is a feature from NVIDIA that also enables you to overclock your GPU with a simple click.


The overclock is applied automatically, thus the automatic tuning name. To enable this, you will need to ensure that you have the latest NVIDIA Game Ready drivers installed on your computer. In addition, ensure you have the latest version of GeForce Experience installed.


MSI Afterburner requires access to the GPU counters on your computer to be able to run the OC scan. These counters are restricted by default by the NVIDIA Control Panel for normal users on your system. In such a case, you will need to allow access to the GPU performance counters to other users and apps on your PC.


To do this, you will need the developer mode in NVIDIA Control Panel. Once you have allowed access to the performance counters, MSI Afterburner should be able to run the OC scan without any issues. Follow the instructions below to do this:


Another potential cause for the error message can be the version of the OC scanner that you are using in the MSI Afterburner. The newer versions of the OC scanner have an issue with older cards and require 30 series or above cards to function properly.


As such, if you are using the new OC scanner on an old card, you will have to revert to the legacy OC scanner. This can be done by editing the config file of MSI Afterburner. Follow the instructions below:


In this case, you will have to execute a clean boot. This will only start the needed Windows services when booting your computer. As such, any other background and third-party service will be disabled so there is no interference.


If the problem goes away when you do this, the problem will be evident and you will need to find the culprit app that is causing the issue. One way of achieving this would be to enable the services one by one.


If reverting to the legacy OC scanner does not fix the issue for you, the issue is likely due to the version of MSI Afterburner you are using. Newer versions of the app have been facing issues with the old Pascal series graphics card, which prevents the app from running the scan.


You should be able to resolve the error message in question with the solutions above. The problem, in most cases, occurs due to the MSI Afterburner not being able to access the performance counters or the use of the incorrect OC scanner. You can overcome the issue by rectifying these inconsistencies and the error message should go away.
