    Hi all.

    I was looking at bigspin's NVIDIA VGA BIOS overclocking guide, and was considering it as my last resort since I can't do software-level overclocking on my 9300M GS (tried a lotta stuff) and well, now that I did decide to do it, it's not working!

    Okay, so I forced nvflash to flash my rom since it had a subvendor mismatch (does this mean my card isn't MXM?), but I recall there being someone who did this and got away with it and OC'd their card! How come?!

    I'm using Acer's 62.98.25.00.A3 version, and I tried removing the write protect of the EEPROM, uninstalled nTune, but it still won't go out of its default max clocks of 580/1450/400 core/shader/mem (although I could raise the shader indefinitely).

    Also, when I first opened my ROM file with NiBiTor, it displayed 28000+ values for the core clock all three steps! I had to change it manually back to the normal ones and then save it with OC'd values..

    So, help? ('~')

    bump?

    Aren't there people who also forced their flashing and managed to overclock their card?
