[SOLVED] ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1650 LP overclocking MSI overclock scanner confidence 0% but fine in games?

[realflow100]

been playing a few games for several hours and had no stutters lags or crashes or artifacts
core is +250mhz overclock. and memory is +900mhz overclock
also have boosted voltage to +100mv but it doesnt seem to make any effect
also raised temperature limit from 83\C to 90\C (WHY DOESNT A BACKSLASH GET RID OF THE ITALICS)
What gives? my manual overclock makes MSI overclock scanner "test" says 0% confidence
is it just a guess and doesnt really know for sure?

The only time it crashed was when i was messing with space engine and setting my games resolution to like 10k for a screenshot. but it crashed without any overclocks at that resolution anyways. so I doubt its the overclock in that case.

Anyone? o.o it was stable for a couple looping full heaven benchmark tests in a row period of at least an hour

It means it OC Scanner considers your manual OC completely unstable.

Also, an OC can be stable in Heaven Benchmark, but not in actual games.

I tested it in actual games though for several hours. overclock scanner just seems inaccurate today. even stock clocks saying only 20% confidence. but im not having any issues

I'm surprised you even got 0%. I used it several times and all it ever gave me was 90%... and most of them were lies, because they would crash in game.
It was just too aggressive on core clock for my gpu. 1080Ti, applying numbers like 130-160, 90% confidence, passed Asus Realbench 8hr stress test...
Crashes within 30mins in UE4 games.

Stopped using it, and instead started to find a stable overclock across the different games in my library. Settled on 2 separate profiles:
Voltage = 0, Core +95, Memory +550
Voltage +100, Core +110, Memory +550
The 2nd one does net me slightly higher benchmark scores. Not sure if it's better though. I need to do further testing.

huh. I get more stable overclocks if I do manual curve adjustment. holding down ctrl and dragging the far right control point up to about 325mhz.

it says 90% confidence this time. and fully stable. and I dont get any artifacts in games.

before I would occasionally get artifacts but no crashes when my GPU is partially loaded (like 50 to 70% but not 100% loaded
now its rock solid stable.
the voltage at lower clocks is a little higher which seems to be making it more stable than before.
