    I have a Sager NP8671 with a 970M. Since nvidia recently disabled overclocking in their newer drivers, what are the options? Prema BIOS mod? Laptopvideo2go drivers? I'm not looking for anything crazy, probably no higher than 135MHz GPU/ 500-1000MHz memory so i doubt i'll need to increase voltage unless i'm really unlucky.

    Or don't update your drivers, I'm running 344.80 which still allows overclocking. And as that gives a nice little boost (if needed) I'll stick with them. I'd worry about updating drivers if I had stability or performance issues with a certain game. Or if the drivers performance out paced the performance of an overclock.
