    How high can you overclock the 5870m in the g73, i'm running 800/1100 is it safe to go any higher?

    Each card is different. I've had no problems running at 800/1000, but pushing it to 1100 would cause occasional artifacts.

    800/1100 seems pretty popular, some have done 850/1100.

    Really need to keep an eye on those temps when you start running the card overclocked all the time...

    I use Hwinfo32 but you can also use AMD GPU tool... GPU Z is another alternative...

    If you use HWinfo32 when the program loads click the sensor button at the top and keep an eye on all the GPU temps on the bottom right in the window that pops up...

    You may want to take a screenshot so you can get some input from others on where you stand on your temps...

    Id chill out on the overclocking till then so you dont kill your card ;)...

    All 3 of them...

    Play a game you enjoy for awhile or run furmark and when you find your highest temp take a screenshot and post it back here so you can get some feedback...
