Optimization Challenge presents a new take on the RTX 4060 with a focus on maximizing its performance. This installment showcases the Geforce RTX 4060 8GB XLR8 Gaming Verto Dual Fan Edition OC from PNY. Building on a previous overclocking guide for the RTX 4060, this iteration aims to refine and streamline the process, offering three levels of difficulty to cater to varying user needs. The primary goal remains consistent: achieving effortless overclocking to unleash the full potential of your RTX.
To kick things off, the initial step involves the installation and setup of MSI Afterburner.
Irrespective of your graphics card brand, the go-to software for overclocking is MSI Afterburner. You can procure it directly from the official website: https://www.msi.com/Landing/afterburner/graphics-cards
