    Hi guys,

    I have an ACER Aspire V3-571G with Nvidia 730M (2GB DDR3) and am interested in doing some overclocking to sequeeze some more performance out of it. I know it's a rebadged 640M with slightly higher clocks, but will there be any major differences in overclocking it, or can I effectively follow the guide for the 640M? Thanks in advance for any advice you may have! :)

    Richdog.

    Ok, I have go the following results so far:

    GT730 @ stock = P1937
    GT730 @ 825/1000 = P2222
    GT730 @ 860/1100 = P2335

    A GT650M gets 2420 so I'm almost there. :D

    EDIT - Drat, I appear to have hit a software limit, the core will not set above 860/1100 even though the NV Inspector tool allows it. Baybe I've hit a limit without vmods. :(

    Thank you, captain obvious for confirming that a faster GPU, that is then overclocked and then combined with a processor 400mhz faster than mine, will get higher scores.

    In tomorrows news: fire melts snow. ;)

    Doesn't seem to be so much worse... 10c or so more I think.
