    Hello, I have recently bought a gaming laptop, the Medion Erazer X6813. I am now trying to overclock the gpu with MSI afterburner but I'm having trouble trying to. When I overclock the core clock and hit apply, the graph on the right never goes above the minimum 675MHz. Overclocking the memory clock seems no problem. I have the same problem using the EVGA tool. But when I use 3dmark 11, It does give the overclocked speeds, and the score is higher.
    Here are my results:
    Benchmark at original settings
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i5-2410M Processor,MEDION X681X score: P1935 3DMarks

    overlocked
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i5-2410M Processor,MEDION X681X score: P1949 3DMarks
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i5-2410M Processor,MEDION X681X score: P1953 3DMarks

    highest clock
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i5-2410M Processor,MEDION X681X score: P1957 3DMarks

    THe first 30 MHz of overclocking you see a big increase but after that for some reason there is almost no increase in performance.

    But when you look at this benchmark: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i5-2410M Processor,ASUSTeK Computer Inc. G53SW score: P2137 3DMarks , the physics score is 200 points lower but the graphics score is 200 points higher, but the gpu overclock is smaller then my overclock. Am I doing something wrong?

    Apparently I posted this in the wrong forum, it was supposed to be posted in the Gaming (Software and Graphics Cards) forum
