    Hey guys, i managed to max out the core clocks on Rivatuner.

    I have a new profile called: Full Clock and these are its clock settings

    (675/731)

    Funny thing, i still have some overclocking room since my temperatures stayed firm at 76C during 1 hour of Counter Strike Source and through a 3DMark06 run.

    My max score for now is: 3800+

    1 step closer to breaking the 4k barrier :)


    I IS SO HAPPY :D

    Good lord, that is a huge OC....Although, I bet there's some room for further OCing your ram....Not that I recommend doing that, mind you - I am too scared to puch that far. ;)

    Wow, well done :D I might try to push past my 600\1200\800 some of these days :)

    I'd be interested in seeing the max temps across the different games you play, as i find some games run way hotter on stock clocks than others do overclocked.

    Be aware that you are also 1 step closer from destroying your gpu

    Notebook GPU's were never meant to be superclocked due to their handicapped cooling system

    Ive maxed out my core clock aswell but i never actually use it for gaming

    If i used that profile to play 1hour bursts (LAN party bursts). Would i be fine if i kept alternating? and not keeping it at that?

    If your GPU is kept cool, you probably have nothing to worry about.

    Something else to consider is power consumption and stability, although the ddr3 model will probably hold up.
