If the default layout is not good enough for you, you can also change that.

Those are called 'profiles.' Basically, whatever tweaks you do to your GPU, you can save them as a profile so you can just click it and quickly apply it at any time. Then, the right side has a bunch of numbers. From there, we have the settings button and the 'monitor' button, which will show you a graph of your graphics card's temperatures. From there, we have the OC Scanner tool, which is meant to automatically scan your GPU (using an algorithm made by Nvidia for RTX 20 series cards) and look for the highest possible overclock and apply that to your GPU. The spaceship-looking logo will open the Afterburner website, the 'K' logo will open MSI Kombustor, the information button will show you information about your CPU and GPU. On the left side, you're going to see several buttons. Is this perhaps a faulty card? Is there some incorrect setting somewhere? I figured since there are overclocking guides for the RTX 2080 using the OC scanner, this ought to work- but searches for this error message are fruitless.Related: How to Safely Stress Test Your Overclocked CPU, GPU, and RAM If it's of any help, the motherboard is an ASUS TUF X299 MkII. Subsequently installed Firestrike and Heaven for benchmarking / stress testing. This is followed by perhaps a minute of instability, where it takes seconds for mouse movement or clicks to reflect on screen, and then it calms down, but of course, the overclock scan hasn't taken place.Īlso, ran DDU in safe mode to re-install latest NVIDIA drivers (418.91), and also re-installed Afterburner, in case that helped, but it didn't. When running an OC scan, the status window immediately displays 'Failed to start scanning!', as you can see in the attached screenshot, and then there's usually a dark blue screen for a few seconds, but not always. I just put together a new build, nothing besides the OS and the latest drivers from NVIDIA were installed, and of course AfterBurner, 4.6.0, Beta 12.
