You may be a casual gamer or a pro who likes to stream games on Twitch. For either of those reasons, you’ve decided to Undervolt your GPU! Of course, it’s natural for all people to want better performance, and yes, we get that too!! But the good thing about undervolting is it pretty harmless process compared to overclock, where there have been reports from people messing up their hardware while doing so.
This isn’t even true anymore, as Overclocking has become notorious for causing significant damage due to its high temperatures, which can not only burn out components but also short-circuit other parts if done improperly.

The Reason
If you’re looking for a way to reduce your computer’s heat output, undervolting is an excellent option. Unfortunately, GPUs are often placed right next door with the power supply, which means there isn’t enough airflow inside them. As a result, they generate quite a bit more waste product than necessary–you’re just trying to remove some unnecessary movement to limit how much hot air flows out from these components while also reducing consumption over time so that we can finally get excellent computers without worrying about bill prices going up any higher because our electricity rates keep increasing!
Difference
Undervolting is a way to lower the voltage of your GPU while maintaining its stock clock speed. On the other hand, overclocking increases both clocks and voltages – but not always in that order! Sometimes during an overclocking process, people may increase or decrease speeds as well- they can have different effects depending on what you want from it. It’s important to know when doing either one which method will work best for achieving desired results, so check out our blog post about why underlining matters before attempting any reduction with this technique.
Requirements
So, you want to Undervolt? First, make sure your graphics card is up-to-date! There are some requirements before starting this process. First of all, NVIDIA cards don’t go below ten series because there have been reports that they don’t work with undervolting and nothing higher than those will either due to too much voltage being applied, which may fry something important inside the computer or cause black screens when playing games (on lower settings). AMD’s, on the other hand, should be easy enough, provided they’re IVB certified.
How to Undervolt GPU
Your graphics card is ready for action, but before you can start playing your favorite game or running that video-editing software, there are a few things that need to be done. First off, make sure the PC has accepted its fate as an integral part of this process by installing drivers from MSI (if not already installed). Afterward, install any necessary application and turn on those glorious GPUs!

When viewing the frequency chart, you can see that my screen is displaying an 1847 MHz signal. I went over to find this same frequency on your curve editor and found it at coordinates (x-axis). Just follow along until we reach our target point, aligned with voltage readings on the right-hand side as well! Once selected, all topics after must have been included by pressing the shift key down while dragging leftward starting from post-target intersection up past 0 volts then back down again into the range where they are supposed to go according to standard broadcast standards. You can find your frequency’s low point by making an assumption and then fine-tuning from there. For our scenario, we’re going to pick 950 mV (the voltage). All you have to do now is go along the x-axis until you get 1847 MHz on it and drag this dot so that it lines up with where we want our assumed Hz value for converting between frequencies: 1750 kHz—just below CW! Remember approximation values are excellent in this case because they will only affect results later when trying out different formulas or algorithms while designing circuits according to what parameters were input into software such as Microchip
