    I've been reading on the drivers page about everyone using the 16x.xx drivers, but none of them allow overclocking. I'm trying to find which laptopvideo2go drivers are most stable for overclocking because the last one I tried were pretty bad.

    I've heard 162.21 allow overclocking, but I've never used them. I am on 158.45, and they are pretty good...

    169.04 is a good driver. Try that one.

    171.16 is the latest driver and you can OC with it, although 169.04 still seems to give better performance/stability.

    No problem. Overclocking with a modded driver shouldn't be any different than overclocking with a signed driver.

    PS What program do you use to overclock?

    When I first overclocked I used Rivatuner but when I installed new drivers I somehow lost the ability to overclock. That is why I need new drivers that allow overclocking

    Ok good. RivaTuner is a good program to overclock with. You should have no problems overclocking with 169.04 (what I use).
