    Ive got a M1330 in the mail, and ive been reading up on overclocking the GPU (Nvidia 8400M). What Ive seen is that with the older drivers you can overclock but the stock performace is worse, but with the new drivers you cant overclock but your stock score is higher than the overclocked (or close to) older drivers.

    So my question is if bios overclocking is possible like in the 7900x cards (on my old inspiron). You extract the bios change the clock settings and then reflash. Is that possible for the XPS M1330 GPU ? The Nvidia 8400M ?

    Thanks in advance .

    Laptop2Go has the drivers. I personally love my 169.09 drivers and they overclock quite nicely :D My scores are FAR higher than the Dell stock drivers....even at stock with the new drivers. Just remember to replace the .inf with the new .inf before installing :D
