    I overclock it to 830/1584 with the 1V modded vbios. A few mhz more on memory or core would crash, that's really low since others can go higher at stock voltage. At stock voltage I can't even go higher than 800 on core.

    On my G53SW

    835/1500 is the max i can get stable with 0.962V bios.

    You can't get as hight as G73 people because our 460M is a V2 revised for less power consumption, and G73 owner got the first version wich allow more overclock.

    I can get 2264P at 3D mark 2011 with the I5 2410m version wich is already really good imo !

    Don't forget ThrottleStop too ;)

    840/1680/1600 with v1.0 overvolt vbios.
    P2474 is my highest 3dmark11.
    Pretty stable in almost everything I've thrown at it, althought I can bench at 850/1600 as well.

    You can backup your vbios using NVFLASH and a bootable usb drive. You need to do this in dos.

    NVFLASH -S biosname.rom

    You should have your bios saved.

    Also youre on JW, therefore youre on V1 card, which overclocks better afaik, but generates more heat and more power consumption.
    Only SW's came with V2 board.
