Why should I undervolt a GPU?
Every GPU operation on the system consumes some amount of power, and in turn, they dissipate as heat that can significantly affect the system. This is the reason we recommend you undervolt the GPU. However, undervolting a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) means lowering or reducing the operating voltage your graphics card or video card has access. Although it has some benefits to it:
GPU undervolting minimizes power consumption and load temperature by reducing voltage. When you undervolt your Graphics processor, it runs without generating excessive heat and lessens the pressure on the GPU power phases. Also, it lowers the voltage output to the GPU at the constant maximum clock speed. Further, undervolting maintains GPU stability and longevity in lower-end motherboards by not overworking the GPU. Also, it reduces the fan noise on your PC.
The above are a few of the advantages of undervolting. Hence, we will explore the various ways to do it on your GPU below. SPONSORED
How can I undervolt a GPU?
1. Use MSI Afterburner and Unigine’s Heaven Benchmark
You can undervolt your GPU depending on how low you want it to be. So, considering the frequencies you get from the earlier scan, reduce the voltage until you get the desired result.
2. Via AMD Radeon Software: Adrenalin Edition
The above steps will help reduce the voltage and power consumption of the GPU. In conclusion, you can check our guide on what to do if you’re experiencing a PC crash after overclocking the CPU. Also, we have a comprehensive article about how to undervolt your CPU in easy steps. If you have further questions, kindly drop them below in the comments section.
