I let the NVIDIA app overclock my GPU, and it left me impressed

Over the past two years living with an RTX 4070 Ti-powered gaming rig, I haven’t made any upgrades at all. This year was supposed to be different as I had considered doubling my RAM and adding a new NVMe drive, but RAMflation got in the way. On the GPU side of things, I’d never dabbled in overclocking, mainly because I never felt the need, and my GPU came with a factory OC setting that’s been turned on since day one.

At 1440p, my GPU has never felt like it’s been pushed to its very limit, but it just did with Resident Evil Requiem since I’m so fond of path-traced lighting. As such, I decided it was finally time to overclock my graphics card, but since I’ve had no experience in this territory, it was safer to take a more… conservative route. The NVIDIA App tunes your GPU for you, so I decided to give it a shot.
