    So I just got the T9300 installed and I'm pretty blown away by the results. Performance in GTA IV jumped by about 10 FPS in most places. Now the next step is to overclock the 8800m GTS, which I know has been done many many times. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any resources on it. I'm a total newb to overclocking, so could someone enlighten me and give me a few tips? I don't even know what program to use. The last thing I want is a fried GPU.
    Thanks!

    i got my 8800m GTS on a 6831 overclocked to 600 core and 900 memory. i have never found the max it can do but it overclocked to 650 core and 950 memory without crashing. i have never done any higher then that. but 600 core ad 900 memory is the max i do day-to-day speeds. the temperatures only increase about 1C-3C overall. its a pretty nice overclocker vs my sager 2090 (7% max overclock) and other GPUs.

    Alright, so I downloaded the ntune thing, but there's no option to overclock. The help file says to click "device settings" under "performance," but I don't have that. Help?
