    I need help with overclocking my laptops GPU...
    I have installed 186.18 from laptop2go and rivatuner but when ever i set the clocks it resets them. Also rivatuner is reading the default clocks incorrectly according to GPU-Z.




    Current Clocks: 430/400/1075

    Try using a different driver. Drivers can often lock the frequencies of a GPU to prevent overclocking.

    or install ntools and OC that way. rivatuner won't work at all for me regardless of driver on my G51 but ntools works fine.
