Asus’ renown overclocking professional Peter “Shamino” Tan has cooked up a brand new device for Intel’s Arc graphics playing cards, often known as the the Arc OC Tool (opens in new tab) (through Tom’s Hardware (opens in new tab)). That is the primary overclocking device created by a 3rd celebration that works with Intel’s GPUs.
Arc graphics overclocking is already attainable courtesy of Intel’s personal Arc Control (opens in new tab) app. However that is a comparatively restricted device. In the meantime, common third celebration instruments, together with MSI’s Afterburner, as but haven’t supported Intel playing cards.
Though Tan is an Asus worker, the Arc OC Instrument is claimed to work with any Intel Arc graphics playing cards, no matter vendor. Nevertheless, the device will not be an official Intel and even Asus launch and comes with an specific “use at personal threat” warning.
Arc OC Instrument helps each typical static overclocking with the GPU locked to a specific frequency and offset overclocking. The latter hooks into the GPU’s voltage curve and adjusts the frequency on the fly.
The device comes with a specific warning concerning guide voltage settings being problematic. Our recommendation is that if doubtful, no sensitive or one thing’s liable to pop. Perhaps simply your Intel GPU, or possibly your entire PC.
In fact, a little bit of overclocking will not be going to show an Intel Arc A770 (opens in new tab) into an Nvidia RTX 4090 (opens in new tab) killer. However instruments like this are one other step on Intel Arc’s journey in the direction of changing into a very aggressive participant within the gaming graphics market. Each little helps, as they are saying.
