    Using EVGA Precision, I'm curious what kind of stable GPU overclocks you've gotten with the GT335M?

    I'm curious to see if OC'ing the GPU might help with BC2 and Black Ops. I'm currently running the latest Nvidia 260.99 WHQL drivers.

    I use EVGA Precision also.
    I only use it for SC2 and L4D2.

    Stable settings I use are,

    Core Clock: 550
    Shader Clock: 1250
    Memory Clock: 850

    I am not using precision but MSI afterburner (mere preference as I use it extensively on my desktop).

    My 335m is stable at:

    GPU: 585
    Shaders: 1404
    Memory: 1760 (2x880).

    I am unable to push it any further in afterburner as these are the max clocks allowed. Just cause 2 shows a 8FPS improvement so I know the OC is working. The On screen display also shows the OC has taken.

    I have confirmed this is 100% stable in: 3DMark06, Crysis, JC2, Mass Effect 2 and L4D2.

    Thanks guys, appreciate the info! I haven't done any actual stress testing other than gaming, but my R1 looks to be game stable at:
    GPU: 550
    Shader: 1300
    Memory: 850

    I can maybe go a little higher, but for now this seems like a pretty good OC. :)

    Sounds about right. One can go slightly higher depending on which Nvidia driver version you're using.

    I wouldn't push the memory clock on the GT 335M beyond 880 outside of benchmark testing.

    I use the following settings and have never had any problems with artifacts or sound breakup.

    Core Clock: 520
    Shader Clock: 1248
    Memory Clock: 840

    You can probably push the core and shaders a little higher but the memory is probably nearing its maximum. It's slightly annoying that the memory won't clock further as the 335m really is starved for memory bandwidth. GDDR5 would have been fantastic on this little card.
