    Hy all,
    I'm a happy owner of a Samsung NP700Z5C-S02UB.My model has a DDR5 GT640M and I know that it can be overclocked to match a GT650M.
    What tools would be recomended to use for overclock beside EVGA,or a VBIOS flash is possible?
    :> Happly waiting for answers here..:hi2:

    I would like to know as well, but the first issue I am having is getting games to properly read the GT650M card. It is reading the intel chipset over the GT650M during any games. How did you overcome that?

    Did you look in your NCP settings? And I would also take in consideration to set in the global setting tab to set power management mode to prefer maximum performance ,texture filtering on high performance,multi display on single display.

    Did you confirm that the games are definitely running on the Intel integrated GPU, via performance benchmarks / FPS measures / GPU-Z to show load? While the games "see" only the Intel chipset, they are likely still using the discrete GPU regardless, if set to "Maximum Performance". Based on my experience with the AMD version of this laptop, there is no way to get the games to "see" dedicated GPUs correctly in a dual-GPU configuration.
