I was wondering if there was anything like K boost

[seanm1999]

So i have an Asus gtx 1080 and heard about k boost but was saddened to hear it was only for evga cards... is there anything like it I could use so that my gpu hits max clocks in games that normally use about 800-1500Mhz?

Out of curiosity, why? K-boost is intended to peg out clocks in case a benchmark didn't stress the card enough for it to up clock. If the game doesn't need full clock speed to run at a high frame rate, it's beneficial for it to clock down because it draws less power and runs cooler.

MSI afterburner?

You arent even maxing out the clock speed its capable of so there's no need, plus k-boost just locks the clock at max frequency but that really doesnt mean anything. You dont need it in 2D mode and your clockspeed will rise to whatever it needs to in 3D games.

I have a 144hz monitor and some games dont hit max clock speed or a stable 144fps so i was wondering if there was another way to do it

I use msi afterburner and evga precision

Well either the game doesn't demand it or your CPU is bottlenecking it would be my guess. What CPU is it? Have you checked usage/temps? Is your power plan set to performance mode?

Also, seeing as you have an ASUS card, why not use ASUS Tweak? https://www.asus.com/us/site/graphics-cards/gpu-tweak-ii/

I am using an I7-6800k so no bottlenecks there. Temps normally are under 65 for the gpu and the CPU is normally under 50 in all games. Not sure what you mean by performance plans but I have my CPU and gpu overclocked and my Nidia power mode is set to Max performance instead of optimal. Also I am not a fan of gputweak as an overclocking utility.

Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options and select High Performance.

What games do you think you are suffering in? And there's no reason at all to OC a 1080 tbh, but ASUS Tweak will enable a feature similar to K-Boost called Gaming Mode which basically does the same thing is all I meant. Doing it with other manufacturers software may not set the appropriate OC profile. OCing using any of them is the same pretty much.
