Underclocking a GPU involves
setting its clock speed below the manufacturer's specifications to reduce
heat, power consumption, and noise, while potentially increasing stability
and component lifespan. It's done using software like MSI Afterburner or AMD's
Adrenalin software

The primary trade-off is reduced performance, meaning lower frame rates and
longer rendering times.
This video explains how to undervolt and overclock a GPU:
