    Rather than take up many threads, I thought I'd start a single 9800m gs overclock thread. It started as my benchmarks and IM trying to make a good database on the Asus G50vt-X5/ 9800m gs benchmarks, and Im getting great results overclocking. Original post here.

    BTW, what stability tests have you used on those OC's? They still seem a bit out of the ordinary.

    Those are good posts, but already posted in the first one, and for the G50VT series specifically its not the best version of the 9800m gs, and from what I read a lot of people have problems flashing it and stabilizing. and with these clocks, I'm perfectly fine with that lol. Not many gpu's, especially in laptops, have 2ghz shaders.

    So far I'm playing all my games as hard as I can. I trust from my earlier 2.65ghz shader clock that I cant expect this to last very long, but for 2ghz shaders, this is going very stable. No artifacts, no glitches, and benchmarks with fraps show an increase.

    Yeah, same as yours just different config, and as far as I cantell yours is just faster cpu, and I happened to have a 60gb 5400rpm drive laying around to put in it till I can get something bigger. Also may I ask what you use to overclock? all I'm using atm is ntune >_<

    I overclock the CPU with setFSB and use NiBiTor to edit the GPU vBIOS.

    ICS9LPR604AGLF is what I'm using, and it works fairly well. I get a stable 2.64GHz, which is better than the 2.49GHz Direct Console was giving me.
