    Guys, I read that Sony Vaio FW's ATI Radeon 4650 is underclocked. I'm wondering if this is only exclusive to FW's 4650 or all Sony dedicated graphic cards are underclocked?
    Thanks guys

    I dont know about underclocked, but I know the 330m has some good headroom on it.

    Yup, the FW's 4650 is underclocked. It's max clocks are 400/600. Using RivaTuner or GPU Tool and a modded driver you can overclock it to stock settings (550/800), or more if you want to (I tried this with Catalyst 9.11, I'm now waiting for C 10.3)
