    I was just wondering if anyone out in cyberspace has overclocked the 9300M GPU??

    I'm not sure if it even works, either with nvidia tools or even rivatuner.

    Check comments for this video, the person says he's overclocking his 9300. I didn't contact him, as I was not that interested, but if you do, you could send some info back here. This could be interesting... :)

    Yes i always overclock it before play games. Especially for starcraft 2 beta now lol.

    I use Nvidia System Tools 6.05 on Windows 7 x64 Professional you can download at http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia_system_tools_6.05.html

    After that open "Performance" programs on your desktop or "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Control Panel Client\nvcplUI.exe" then go to performance task on the left and accept agreement.

    For mine it work fine at 700/702/1800 from 580/702/1450. The maximum which i tried is 780 it can run game but notice some flicking and speed reduce so now i stick at core 700MHz

    Cool! Thanks for the info!

    What sort of drivers do you use with your 9300 b_ambee by the way?

    Thank you for the info, wouldn't think that the person himself will answer here so quickly :D

    Will try it as well, I'm on newer drivers 8.16.11.9166 (ForceWare 191.66), let's see what can I get from them :)

    Playing Batman Arkham Asylum here with overclocked settings (same settings as b_ambee)

    Works like a charm so far, with a slight noticeable fps boost of course ^^

    Using Nautis 190.15 drivers.

    I am wondering if the starcraft 2 is not lagging w/o OC.

    I had a mobo replacement on my Z690 a week ago, before that I was able to run Starcraft 2 beta fine on 1280 x 768 x 32bits with medium setting.

    After the replacement, I can't get it to work without serious lag which occurs every 20secons.

    I just had LCD screen, Keyboard, Bottom assembly, and MOBO replaced for free because the onsite warrany personal broke my laptop.
