Look at all them beautiful timestamps in the description.

Nvidia explanation: 2:03
AMD explanation: 18:25

So it should be no surprise that I forgot to do the timestamps. My wife and I are currently on a mini vacation for our anniversary but as soon as I can get back to a PC I will update them, sorry about that.

Would love to see a AMD 5000 series PBO2 guide using curve optimization, PBO limits for PPT, TDC, and EDC, how to find those optimal values, and how to make sure the BIOS sets those limits correctly!

Can you please do an updated beginners guide on overclocking? Not talking about wanting to see a specific card's speeds, but a very detailed general guide targeted toward those that may have a more budget friendly build and are starting out. Last video i can find like that from your channel is from 6 years ago. And im guessing most of the principles haven't changed. But i dont think we need to know how to overclock with SLI in mind anymore.

Do an undervolting guide!
I undervolted my FE 3080 and am basically getting the same FPS for way less power and heat. Overall really happy with it. Saved 10-20C on my GPU temp while gaming.

[krzysiekj]

this is exactly what I was looking for years back when setting up my 1st gaming pc :D
Godsend Jay to help all clueless newcomers. Keep it up

I know Jay said in his last msi afterburner video he didn’t like how the overlay wouldn’t put names next to the different stats for diff categories, etc.

But you can do that. Takes a little fiddling but you can name each individual stat or setting on the overlay so they all have their own lines and names, if you want.

Think he should make a video on how to do that.

Just want to say I appreciate the work Jaytober takes. Thanks for doing this!

[djhixson]

Wouldn't mind seeing an undervolt guide/opinions video.

[vinnytucks]

I want to throw this out there as well. Undervolting your GPU is also something you can do in Afterburner. I did it because I wanted to lower my temps. Weirdly my frames went up slightly.

Sidenote as a photographer/videographer... the lighting on this and the previous video is absolutely top-notch. Using the kicker almost as key provides a near-cinematic look, and it adds a whole new layer of professional appearance. It's also THE best way to shoot a live subject in-frame with a flat panel display.

quick tip as well as it wasn't mentioned in the vid. gpus operate on a "pull not push" typa logic. it will only take (pull) what power/voltage it needs to hit a certain speed. you generally speaking can't force feed (push) it power. so those voltage/power sliders are (generally speaking) safe to max out. the gpu will only take what it needs from what the sliders allocate. most of the time it won't use up those maxed out sliders. those sliders are effectively saying "the gpu can use 'up to' this much"

Been following you for several months, honestly so glad to have made the discovery. Your content is -always- worth it. We appreciate you Jay <3

[ShiroNoFune]

I'd love to see a video explaining how to undervolt with a curve on MSI sometime

[dycedargselderbrother]

I realize the video is meant to be Afterburner specific and accessible to a general audience, but if you want to remove the mystery of what's limiting the card, reading the PerfCap field from GPU-z's Sensors tab is a much better method than guessing and checking by changing sliders and looking at fluctuating figures.

[Wisconsineyes]

Thank you so much! Ive struggled to fingure out how to tell if fan "auto" was the "user defined" fan curve! Bless you Jay!

Afterburner is such a treasure. Related to this, I have a buddy who just got a 3080ti from the Newegg shuffle, but when he started using it, it would crash after only a few minutes of gameplay on any game. He was very upset of course and felt RMA was his only choice. Considering the GPU landscape at the moment, that made him even more upset. After lots of troubleshoot and research, we used Afterburner to see that his card was boosting all the way to 2100 and then crashing. We used it to limit the boost, and he's been stable ever since.

[farazalikhan]

I installed this software, couldn't figure out at first how to do benchmarking with it
Finally Jay explaining, that's all i need

[drewjames]

Been watching your stuff for a long time and as a tech rookie I really appreciate these types of videos. Gives me confidence to actually try this stuff. Appreciate it!

Me being a car guy and u using car terminology justt helps me understand theseee soo much easier 😂😂😂❤️❤️
