    From what I've read, the stock numbers on the 260m read 550/1375/950. While playing NFS Shift, rivatuner says I'm at 594/1458/950. Does Alienware slightly overclock their gfx cards or am I missing some helpful bit of information? Thanks in advance.

    It should stay at stock which is 550/1350/950. Did you buy it use?

    That's what I figured. No, I didn't buy it used. Maybe I got a refurb? Would they have noticed the overclocked settings? Everything looked brand new and worked brilliantly. No scratches or smears. I really couldn't be happier, but I'm befuddled by my gfx clocks.

    Those are actually the clocks that rivatuner showed mine at stock. Check the clocks on the nvidia system tools. I found that rivatuner was showing a higher clock rate then what showing on the nvidia system tools, not really sure why though.
