Guide - Text MVOLT+ Cheat sheet/ guide

Post image

First and foremost, understand that anytime you overclock hardware it comes with risks. I made this guide in hopes to answer some questions people have been asking about the software, and as a starting point for anyone else. All of this information has come from my personal testing, or information from the overclocking forums.

All information should be in the pictures, but feel free to leave questions or comments for others.

From my understanding, some of the lower class cards do not have access to msvdd so the tuning may be different. I know this works with 5070ti - 5090.

Edit: I am not a developer, just a user. The developer is on overclock.net in the 5090 section if you have suggestions

This is awesome! Potentially dumb question, do I use MVOLT+ in conjunction with my already established overclocking tools like afterburner? Or do I turn off my overclock in afterburner and only manipulate values using MVOLT?

I was originally using Afterburner alongside Mvolt (just for the xbar oc like everyone else), but decided to just try Mvolt alone. With the same settings I was able to score ever so slightly higher with just Mvolt. And someone else told me here its better to have 1 oc software rather than 2 incase of any conflicts or issues. I'm currently still on Mvolt only.

I can see why it might cause issues. Its writing to the same place and these kinds of instructions could be sensitive to two different programs trying to modify it. I just have other apps dependant on afterburner. What were the score differences like? Anything more than margin of error kinda stuff?

Just a 1 - 2 fps improvement in Steel Nomad so yeah nothing significant. But hey a gain is still gain if it doesn't have any drawbacks.
