    Hey guys, Did a little bit of OC with my 680m and managed to land these results here:

    MSI FD vbios (919/2250 stock clock) with 980/2400 clock @ 1.025 volt (drops down to 1.0 during constant load)
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-940 Processor,Alienware score: P7821 3DMarks

    MSI OC/OV vbios ( +200mhz on stock clock) with 1050/2400 clock @ 1.05 volt ( can't really recall the volt as i did this OC some time ago before switching over to the MSI FD vbios)
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-940 Processor,Alienware score: P8008 3DMarks

    Both vbios were provided from techinferno with svl7 to credit for. My question here now, is it possible to bump up the scores a little more?

    edit: did another run with the MSI OC/OV vbios @ 1067/2400 and landed with this result http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/5190915

    This is crazy! This probably beats a Desktop GTX 580!

    How did you even get past the +135 Mhz barrier? I am sure this is not a dell card!

    How are temps looking up? Do they hit 90+?


    Congrats on the scores man!

    It's indeed not a Dell card. This one has 4Gb.

    Really wonder how stable your card run @ 1050/2400?

    at 1050/2400 it can get pretty hot at 87 degree after say 30 min - 1 hour of playing far cry 3, and if i am to push the clocks a little higher i will get artifacts. Although i am fairly comfortable with the lower clocks @ 980/2400 because that vbios uses lesser volt hence lower temperature ( usually around 80 -82 at most after 1 hour+ of far cry 3) Do take note that i'm currently in melbourne/australia so my might room temperature will affect my temps differently from yours.

    As for the +135mhz barrier, I use modified vbios mainly from techinferno. And yes, my card is not a dell card.
