    Can anyone tell me if the 770m can be safely overlocked? What about other GPU and that of AMD, which GPU´s are known to be good and safe overclockers?

    Pretty much all modern and most previous GPUs have the potential to be overclocked. There aren't really any guaranteed overclocks but you can get a general consensus by searching this forum to see how others have fared in OCing their GPU.

    Everyone of them is safe!

    Heck, I'd even safely overclock a toaster if possible!

    Most of the nVidia's seem to overclock quite well. A few guys with 7970m's have struck it lucky too. Just keep an eye on your temps.

    But then your temps will get too high, so you'd have to do something to cool it down. But then that defeats the point ;).

    Anyway, to OP: Pretty much any dGPU can be overclocked, but nothing is ever guaranteed as to how much you can and if it'll work since each individual card has its minor imperfections.

    Thx for the replies but I was wondering if there are any specific GPU's that are known to be safe and good OC like the 670mx and 765m?
