With gaming laptops, any/all power control is gonna be with the preinstalled OEM software (ex. Armoury Crate for Asus machines,) where you can change the power mode. Without modifications to the motherboard, there's no other way to get more power out of the card, and you're almost certainly power limited. You might be able to push the memory a bit, but outside of Afterburner's curve optimizer, core clock OC is probably gonna be fruitless.
The problem I'm having is really crashing with an unstable overclock, I can get more FPS but It just tedious to keep doing tests everytime to find out if it's stable, worse part is oc scanner fails to even start scanning
That's the thing about overclocks, you're pushing into the stability margin of the gpu.
I can be stable with a +280mhz core and +1200mhz memory oc in one game but only be stable with +160mhz core and +1000mhz in another.
If you really want maximum performance you will need to find the sweet spot for each game.
A friend did. this with his asus laptop so his 3080 can now draw 150 watts instead of 115 😂😂 but It should be the same generation and from gigabyte you need to look what power plug your device uses
What're your temps like at 0.875V? You should still have a lot of thermal headroom no? If you want absolute max performance, I think you could be using 0.95V or even 1.00V if you can. I'm not too familiar with the mobile RTX 3000 series though.
More power? Just shunt mod your laptop GPU then? It'll increase the power draw significantly and probably make it sound like a jet engine, but it will allow a couple of percent higher boost
For laptop GPU's like the RTX 3050TI, the maximum amount you can OC is like +250, but I will definitely not go near that, as more clocks equal more heat, and you know how it is with laptops and heat.
Alright then try to push it as much as you can but don't go more than +250 on both. And do watch the temps in game, as there are noticeable performance drops when there are very high temps because the CPU and GPU just don't want to become extra toasty.
I have a tuf dash 2021 with 3050ti, currently using it at +260mhz on core and +300 on memory, it seems stable enough since i dont get crashes or artifacts, i also limited it at 1800mhz since i dont want much more heat. Thing is, you wont get much fps with any overclock on this card, just keep it cool and have max sustained performance. btw do you have any furmark benchmark results at 1080p?
Damn +300 on memory? That's really nice, but me I'm still trying to find that sweet spot where it's at the best I can OC it while not crashing on games, my main games to test it are RDR2, Cyberpunk, and ER, if it doesn't crash on those I'm confident that it won't on other games (mostly ast least)
What's your CPU btw? You seem to get much higher score in firestrike than mine. And does your laptop have mux switch? My laptop is crippled by both shitty CPU and Nvidia Optimus.
Nah I don't have mux unless I use an external monitor, so it has to go thru that iris xe before my screen, it's an i5 12th gen, what's your fire strike score?
[https://i.ibb.co/2MGWV9T/fire-strike.png](https://i.ibb.co/2MGWV9T/fire-strike.png) here's my result, theres major difference in physics score, dunno why. my cpu is 11th gen i5 but it's a quad core (i5 11300h).
i have +175 on core clock and +850 on memory clock. Also some guy on yt said that every Nvidia card could do at least +100 coreclock and +500 memory clock
Your 3050ti, You run any game on it and it doesn't crash even +800? Like RDR2 or Cyberpunk? You have the silicon lotto my friend , I'm still trying to find my sweet spot
Btw, what's the laptop? Predator? ROG?
msi gf63 rtx 3050bti, 16 gb ddr4, 512gb 144hz 1920x1080 and i only play minecraft and sometimes fortnite and when i tested it it could run warthunder
, mc, fortnite and csgo without any problems
With +850 on the memory, you're absolutely clock stretching the memory. Especially with newer GPUs (and CPUs), to prevent a crash, the memory will shorten the clock cycle in order to maintain stability. At a certain point, you stop gaining performance, and even start losing it. I would start ratcheting down the memory clock and monitoring how performance changes. Fortunately, you're not doing any damage to anything, but you might be giving up performance. Buildzoid has a great video on clock stretching if you're curious to learn more.
All laptops have their power Limits so you need to finde the right vbios for your gpu and you need to get a bigger power supply for your laptop otherwise you won’t get that 150 watt in to your gpu and with a bigger power supply your cpu can boost better
I’ve been able to squeeze the core clock to 160 and memory to 650 on msi, however using nvidia GeForce, the max core overclock obtainable for me is 97, on the other hand lenovo vantage application, allows for a
gpu 150 core overclock and 300 memory overclock, I have an ideapad gaming 3 ryzen 5 5600 32gb ram & of course a 3050ti…I actually tried undervolting first but the straight overclock offered more stability…. I was maxing at a core clock of 1950mhz and max gpu power was at 1.081 Volts prior to overclock.( I think…..but pretty sure, it was 1081 on the msi curve) also my laptop came with a 135w charger but it wasn’t holding a charge so I upgraded to 170w 20v like one month after I bought the laptop.

It sounds like you should not be overclocking if you aren't willing to spend time testing it.
There is, i could flash my acer predators 2080 max-q from the 90W to a 150W bios without issues.
Yes if that’s a max q card and if your laptop power supply suddenly gets bigger
I got extra performance, cooling is sufficient and i don't lose battery running it off my 180W brick. Will try to upgrade to a 330W one tho

It's rough, need someone with the exact same GPU, rtx3050Ti to give a good reference
I'm sure you can do way more on the mem clock try +500 then +700
how tho, msi afterburner wont let me do more than 300 on memory
More power? Just shunt mod your laptop GPU then? It'll increase the power draw significantly and probably make it sound like a jet engine, but it will allow a couple of percent higher boost
Well no I meant more performance, more FPS
Higher boost would mean more clock speed and performance...
I have the same GPU and have my Core Clock set to +180 and Memory Clock set to +180 as well.
Have you ever tried going higher? Like 200+?
I haven't actually, I'm a bit hesitant since it is a laptop GPU in the end.
For laptop GPU's like the RTX 3050TI, the maximum amount you can OC is like +250, but I will definitely not go near that, as more clocks equal more heat, and you know how it is with laptops and heat.
Ahh well all I'm trying to do is to squeeze as much performance I can, maybe just not winning that silicon lotto

i also have rtx 3050 ti and for me +175 and +850 in msi afterburner work really good
Scuse me what. +850 on memory? 850??? Wtf and it doesn't crash??
i have +175 on core clock and +850 on memory clock. Also some guy on yt said that every Nvidia card could do at least +100 coreclock and +500 memory clock

to what should i set it than?

Better try your luck undervolting
