Need help overclocking gpu!
I tried overclocking my gpu using the following guide:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/overclock-gpu-safely-boost-performance/amp/

Thing is, many of the sliders in msi afterburner are greyed out and won’t move. Is there a way to fix this?

My gpu is GeForce GTX 1050 4gb vram.
(Pc is Dell Inspiron 15 7000 gaming; a gaming laptop).

According to heaven benchmark, my gpu temperature never went above 63 degrees Celsius.

Sorry about late response.

Good news! I think I got a substantial fps boost in Destiny 2 when at +50 core clock, +70 memory clock, and high performance power plan (minimum fps in pvp mode went up from about 56-57 to 60, with very rare drops to 59)!
I still plan to do further testing when I get the chance.

Anyway, any final steps I should know about? Or do I just save my settings and I’m done?

Also, should I keep “Unlock voltage control”, “Unlock voltage monitoring”, and “Force constant voltage” ticked like the guide in the title says? Or should I untick them?

pretty much it. you can try upping the memory another 25-50mhz and see how it goes.

make sure the startup button is ticked when you settle on an OC

I think I DID notice some serious fps drops in other games though, even when using default frequencies; so I’m not sure yet if I want these setting automatically applied.

But then again, these aren’t the only settings I’ve changed (there’s also my power plan, for example).

just test em out and once properly vetted then enable it.
more testing wont hurt

By the way, what’s the danger in upping my core/memory clocks by outrageously high amounts (this is a theoretical question; I don’t actually plan on doing that)?
I’m assuming overheating won’t happen, as I’m not increasing my max temperature, right?

High temps (assuming it doesnt crash)
Display driver crashing to protect itself if the clocks arent stable is usually what happens before anything major comes into play.

When you OC you tend to raise what the temp might get up to during Load, which is why you take note of such things while testing.

So...
As I asked earlier, should I keep “Unlock voltage control”, “Unlock voltage monitoring”, and “Force constant voltage” ticked like the guide in the title says? Or should I untick them?
I’m thinking maybe they should be unticked, as I didn’t change any voltage settings...
Am I wrong?

I wouldn't mess with voltages on a laptop unless you're undervolting.

I Told you before, leave voltages alone
Even if messing with them actually did something screwing with voltages on a laptop is not smart

leave them as they are and ONLY use Core and Memory for overclocking

I know I’m sounding overly careful, but I just want to confirm: I should UNtick them, right?
They were originally unticked.

then re untick them

Awesome! Thanks!

Set the app mode to Kernel Mode also in that settings listing, above where the unlocks for voltage are listed.

Change the skin to a Dragon skin that shows all tge proper sliders for modern gpus.

Do not use the "OC at Startup" option. When you reach stable OC, save those changes to a Profile. But have MSI Afterburner in OS Startup. On each boot the default gpu settings will be used, simply use that for everyday OS usage needs. Before launching a game after a fresh bootup, click the profile in MSI-AB that has your stable OC and then click apply. This way if driver crashes or system auto reboots, when msi AB auto launches, it would be loading gpu defaults and not your OC, in case that is deemed unstable later down the road.
