    Hello, my laptop is getting really lousy frame rates in need for speed hot pursuit. (10 avg, 4 min, 18 max) I'm using game booster, I have the latest nVidia drivers from dell, and I'm overclocking my gpu. My cpu overclock doesn't work. I have another similar game called GRID, and it works flawlessely.(30fps) Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do?

    Without the R1's overclock that's about right, it's just about playable with the overclock (20-30FPS)

    How did you verify your over clock doesn't work?

    Whenever I overclock my cpu, I get a bluescreen.

    Sorry to hear that man :( unfortunately the only way to OC your CPU at this point is to try a pinmod to get more voltage.
