With its two-level adjustment functions, the GPU Boost switch allows you to
automatically adjusts the CPU Ratio and clock speed for an optimal system
performance.
• To ensure system performance, enable this switch when the system is powered off.
• When the GPU switch is set to Enabled (GPU_I: GPU Boost and CPU Ratio
Boost), the system automatically adjusts the GPU and CPU ratio for an enhanced
performance.
• When the GPU switch is set to Enabled (GPU_II: GPU Boost and CPU BCLK/Ratio
Boost), the system automatically adjusts the GPU, base clock rate (BCLK) and the
CPU ratio for a more enhanced performance.
• The GPU Boost LED near the GPU Boost switch lights up when the GPU Boost switch
is enabled. Refer to section 1.2.8 Onboard LEDs for the exact location of the GPU
Boost LED.
• If you enable this switch under the Windows

OS environment, the GPU Boost
function will be activated after the next system bootup.
• You may use the TurboV feature in the AI Suite 3 application, adjust the BIOS setup
program or enable the GPU Boost switch at the same time. However, the system will
use the last setting you have made.
