NVIDIA Scanner software enables automatic overclocking of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2000s to get the most out of the GPU.
The new NVIDIA RTX 2000 Series graphics cards are characterized by implementing important technical innovations such as RT Cores for Ray Tracing and Tensor Cores for DLSS, but renewed technologies for overclocking have also been implemented. In addition to improved VRM phases to offer a more refined voltage, a special overclocking tool called NVIDIA Scanner has been implemented. This tool has been designed to maximize the potential of your graphics.
NVIDIA Scanner, an application that simplifies overclocking on graphics cards.
This tool developed by the company has the mission of simplifying the overclocking process to the maximum to avoid damages in the graphics at the same time that they get their maximum performance. Scanner would be a relatively automated solution that allows the user to interact with the graphics parameters without fear of damaging it, the software taking care of practically the entire overclocking process.
We can do manual OC, but what the software does is to scale the frequency of the GPU and the memories making sure that the overclocking is stable and in case of stability problems, the voltage will be modified to offer stability. This is how it differs from other overclocking software, in that the software itself will do all the work internally and perform mathematical checks to ensure that everything is fine.
Tom Peterson, an NVIDIA worker during a demonstration, increased the Boost frequency of an RTX 2080 from 1710MHz to 2130MHz with a working voltage of 1V. The frequency improvement is about 068%. It should be noted that the Scanner software took about 24 minutes to adjust the frequency of the RTX 20, something that could normally take hours or even days to modify frequencies and voltages.
