It's not quite the like-for-like challenger we would have wanted - it's a lot bigger for starters - but it's significantly more powerful than the last-gen Blade and a lot cheaper too. So the quest is on to find a suitable replacement, leading us to MSI's GS60 2PC Ghost. It's a fine machine, if slightly anaemic in terms of its graphics power (boosted considerably in its latest revision) and handicapped by an ultra-expensive price point - not to mention a lack of general availability outside North America. Just remember that the more you push your GPU beyond the one-click auto scanner’s results, you can start to see an increase in heat, power draw, and possible instability.It's been some time since we reviewed the Razer Blade 14 - a unique combination of gaming-grade Intel and Nvidia components somehow integrated into an ultra-slim laptop chassis highly reminiscent of the MacBook Pro. All that can help you squeeze out some more performance, but your mileage may vary, and tinkering with those options complicates the tuning process. Nvidia provides few more options within the Performance window if you’d like to take your tuning further, such as increasing power limits or temperature target. Nvidia’s performance tuning overlay on top of the main GeForce Experience interface. Otherwise, it’s a straightforward one-click speed boost. If you run into any issues, just reset the tuning and try again. Do note that anytime your GPU is tuned, there’s a chance it can be unstable in certain games or apps, though we haven’t experienced any issues with Nvidia’s conservative automatic overclocking results. Note that it can take a while as the software evaluates your GPU with “an advanced scanning algorithm,” but the tool will show you a progress bar as it scans.Īfter it finishes, GeForce Experience will automatically tune your GPU and increase your performance. Near the middle you’ll see the option to “Enable automatic tuning.” Simply click that and the performance tuning process will start. Press Alt + Z to summon GFE’s overlay, then click the Performance option towards the right of your screen. Next, it’s time to set up Nvidia’s automatic overclocking. Once those are installed, open GFE, go to its Settings (the gear icon next to your user name), and make sure the “In-game overlay” option is enabled.

GeForce Experience (version 3.22 or newer)īefore you get started, make sure you have the latest version of Nvidia’s GeForce Experience software and the most current Game Ready driver.
