automatic tuning interrupted

[simple plover]

Hey, when I try and start the scan for automatic tuning it says it's getting interrupted. Can someone help? I closed a bunch of apps running in the background, lowered to 50 hertz on my monitor, disabled overlay and instant replay. Not sure what else I can do.

[simple plover]

If someone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Do you use a live wallpaper?

Do you have power management set to prefer maximum performance? Your GPU cannot idle here

[simple plover]

I do not have a live wall paper and I put it to prefer maximum performance.

[broken quartz]

reset it to normal and see if you can now tune it

(restart your PC)

[simple plover]

Put the performance to normal and then restart?

[broken quartz]

Yeah, see if it now lets you do that

[simple plover]

okay let me try that

i'll let you know

Still isn't working I put it to normal, and restarted.

[broken quartz]

Hmm... see if Automatic Tuning fails when started from something like MSI Afterburner too

[simple plover]

I don't have msi, I got an rtx what app do I need to go to for that?

[broken quartz]

MSI Afterburner, despite its name, works on every brand

[simple plover]

Okay should I download it and try to run the automatic tuning on MSI after burner?

[broken quartz]

It's called "overclocking scanner" there btw

[simple plover]

Okay i'll try that

Didn't work

@broken quartz

If it cancels very quickly either the card is finicky or something else is interfering. I'd probably just use the card as is with no automatic tuning. Since it's based on the same underlying tech

remember that cards that can't overclock properly, even by a miniscule 15MHz, is a thing

Or, he lost the sillicon lottery

[broken quartz]

inb4 the card destabilizes after 3 years at stock

[simple plover]

It used to work like a 6 months ago and I stopped it for whatever reason and when I go to turn it back on it doesn’t work, idk why it keeps happening

[broken quartz]

Hmm

Uninstall MSI Afterburner as well as any other GPU overclocking tool, then DDU, reinstall drivers and NVIDIA App, restart, and then redo the Automatic Tuning. See if you're able to now.

[simple plover]

Okay let me try that

[simple plover]

Yeah still doesn't work for nvidia or msi, not sure what's happening. Also was is DDU?

@broken quartz

[broken quartz]

This sounds like you haven't ran DDU yet

[waxen ocean]

For a utility to automate DDU as much as possible follow this guide.

[simple plover]

Okay i'll try that

[simple plover]

My Sophos blocked it.

Should I allow it?

[broken quartz]

use the manual version instead

[waxen ocean]

Ideally, use DDU (AutoDDU can be told to use a custom driver link, or you can use the manual version located here.)

Alternatively, if you had the NVIDIA App installed in the life of both the previous driver and the current one, you can go to the driver page inside the app and select the rollback option.

Never use the rollback option in Device Manager; this will break the drivers and any apps that rely on it. You'll end up needing to DDU for real anyway, so you did double the work.

[broken quartz]

second link

a lot of more estoric anti-virus programs don't like autoddu

note: you'll need to get new drivers if using manual version

[waxen ocean]

You can download drivers from the official site below. (You will need to specify your GPU and operating system.)

On a laptop, both iGPU and dGPU drivers should be installed for full functionality and performance.

NVIDIA
AMD
Intel

[simple plover]

Okay

[broken quartz]

if automatic tuning still doesn't work just leave it be, it's like OCs adn it's basically not guaranteed

[simple plover]

Oh alright i'll do the DDU later and i'll let you know how it goes, but why is that?

[simple plover]

Okay so yesterday the dddu was uninstalled because of of my Sophos and when I rebooted it after shutting it down it showed this. Any help?

And it says “safe mode” in all 4 corners of the screen when I go to my profile

@broken quartz

[broken quartz]

Look at the bottom left corner where "DDU" was listed as the user name.

Pick your user account.

[simple plover]

Alright I fixed it but how do you get rid of that DDU profile?
