There are a number of benefits of using the Native overclocking feature instead of MSI Afterburner:
Easier to use - no configuration required
No need to install any external application for overclocking on each GPU miner
Applies GPU settings and overclocking faster
No limitations on number of GPU's
More GPU settings configurable (depending of GPU type)
Troubleshooting
Recent nVidia drivers requires Administrator privileges for some clocking operations like Power Limit and Temperature Limit. Go to the Options dialog, GPU Settings section, to enable Native Overclocking with Administrator privileges.
Use the GPU Clocking dialog, via the toolbar Tools -> GPU Clocking, for adjusting GPU settings on a single GPU to verify that all settings work as expected
To verify if the GPU settings were applied successfully, use the Reload button in the GPU settings dialog to reload all properties from the AMD and nVidia GPU drivers.
If the values show up as expected, the GPU settings and overclocking operations have been successfully applied
If one or more settings didn't have the expected value, please report which GPU model and which setting that didn't work together with the Awesome Miner log file.
Do not use the MSI Afterburner application to check if the GPU settings were applied successfully. MSI Afterburner uses different overclocking concepts than other applications and may not display the current GPU settings correctly when set from other applications.
