ASUS GPU Tweak III: Lower-temperature GPU undervolting

A GPU benchmark test should be done before adjusting power use to assess your card’s performance at factory settings

The conventional undervolting definition is here. The voltage-frequency curve of every GPU increases with usage

The GPU needs Y voltage for X frequency. Overclocking the GPU allows you to increase performance by slightly increasing its frequency at that voltage

Overclocking the card raises the voltage-frequency curve, then manually setting the maximum boost clock to stock values
