ASUS provides its software – ASUS GPU Tweak III update. Includes overclocking, voltage adjustment, fan control, advanced monitoring and other features. Which works with NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards for desktop PCs.
This article will tell you how to use ASUS GPU Tweak III. In comparison with the second version, there are some innovations. Still, the developers tried to simplify the process of use. They removed the system auto-optimization function and improved the monitoring tool.
Operating mode & acceleration
In the tab Home 4 modes available: Standard, Acceleration mode, Quiet and Custom. For example, with the standard everything is clear, basic frequencies. Quiet reduces power, and then the frequencies and speeds of the fans decrease. And you can customize the custom one for yourself…
With overclocking mode, the GPU frequency increases by 20 units. For overclocking, it is recommended to increase the values GPU Voltage and Power Target. Then increase the values a little GPU Clock and Memory Clock. During the upgrade process, check stability using FurMark.
Fan speed
Its fans start rotating only under load. This can be disabled so that there are minimal revolutions without load – slider 0dB Fan. In any of the modes, the subsection Fanyou can drag the slider yourself or click the pencil icon – Change…
A classic graph of the speed versus temperature is available. For example, at a temperature of 85 °C the speed will be 50%, which is ≈1900 RPM. By dragging this point, you can adjust the speed graph for yourself. It may be necessary during acceleration to stabilize the temperatures.
Monitoring & OSD
Button Monitor opens an additional window (attached to the main one). In which the monitoring data of all important parameters of the video card. Works similarly to TechPowerUp GPU-Z, everything is remembered without OSD. I think the linear view looks much better than the tabular one.
On-Screen Display — the OSD section can be fully customized. Color, size, transparency, and even shadows. MSI Afterburner or AIDA64 are usually used, and the new ASUS GPU Tweak III is no worse. In the settings, uncheck: show OSD overlay on screenshots.
Note. Depending on your video card model and software version, the OC Scanner function may be available. Previously, in the second version of GPU Tweak II, you could click Gaming Booster – BoostMySystem. It similarly determines the optimal overclocking range and configures it.
Conclusion
Desktop solutions require such a universal control tool. And ASUS has provided it to its users. If you have an ASUS laptop or motherboard, then you can use ASUS AI Suite 3 or Armoury Crate. The capabilities of which overlap slightly.
Actually, the third section of the application allows you to download additional tools. For example, ROG FurMark, Armoury Crate? QuantumCloud and XSplit, and the ASUSGPUZ utility is integrated. Russian is not supported, you can leave English or Ukrainian. Everything is intuitive with it.
