    Mobility = laptop.

    Overclocking a laptop card is a bad idea, most cards are actually underclocked so to work with the limited cooling ability that a laptop has.

    That right.... overclocking is best for desktop cards.... though some gaming laptops come with factory-done overclocking...

    Gaming will test it out, the temps prolly wont change on normal use as most cards have 2d underclock for video playback, desktop and normal use.
    Then the higher 3d clocks kick in when you do the likes of CAD or gaming.

    Safest way is to stress the gpu and see if it's not getting to hot, if it's cool enough at stress then it will always be.

    Install CPUID's HWMonitor.

    It will record the current, the minimum and maximum temps as long as it is running, everest is real-time only to my knowledge.
    I would minimize a game to check temps and the GPU would drop like 10-15 degrees in a second (water cooled GPU btw) so I used HWMonitor to get min and max temps

    like i said use the slide scale. what you can play with is the blue sector of the slider. i went about half just a mild boost.

    OK, personnally, i put the GPU frequency at 800/820 Mhz and the memory clock at 850/860 Mhz....

    I just wanted to know if it's possible to put them faster :)

    Thx

    Whats a suitable temp for this card? i'm using the gputool stability test at 859 GPU / 839 RAM and it gets to 73 C°, whats a safe recommended temp?

    Also whats a suitable fan speed percentage? default is 30%
