Head's up, this is not click bait and actually works. I use it all the time
How do we even do this?
By overclocking. Overclocking is the practice of pushing a piece of hardware's internal clock speed faster than intended. This can be done to almost any piece of hardware, RAM, CPU, GPU, etc. However, I will be overclocking a GPU (graphics card) using MSI Afterburner.
Prep
Make sure your drivers are up to date and you have the latest windows update.
Also, make sure you have adequate power supply. Not enough power will cause the system to crash. If you have barely enough power as it is, Do not overclock
Actually Overclocking
Step 1: Download MSI Afterburner
Step 2: After installation, make sure these settings are enabled:
Step 3: Set the power limit and core voltage to the max. This will not damage your card, as the slider max value is set to the highest safe voltage. If this is grayed out, relax. The overclocking will still work.
Step 4: See that "Core Clock Speed" slider? Slide that to 50, then click the check button. Open up Simplerockets2 or another graphics heavy game. In Simplerockets2, set the quality to high. Launch a craft and note the smoothness. If it is still at a low frame rate, increase the clock speed by another 50MHZ. Keep doing this until the framerate has improved or the card reaches temperatures in excess of 80 Celsius.
Endnotes
I am not legally responsible for GPU damage if you decide to set the clock speed above your system's capability.
Undervolting kinda replaced overclocking, because the turbo boosts in CPUs/GPUs already push the silicon to the max.
Undervolting Ryzen chips voids warranty for instance, but I don't know about GPUs.
It takes voltage/current/temps and whatnot and figures out the best clocks. When you lower voltage, that lowers temps which gives even more headroom to turbo boosts.
Undervolting is specially more important in laptops, since they're usually hotter than desktops.
