What would you say is the highest safe voltage on the core for the 980m? I'm currently running 1.1v and only hitting the upper 60's on temps. Im curious how much more the voltage regs can take before it becomes not worth it

What would you guys say is a safe voltage to run 24/7 if temps are not a problem. Thanks!

thanks for the quick response

I have a MSI Twin Frzr IV 780... Can I use either of these BIOS to flash my card?

Ok after flashing my card with the 80.04.33.00.10 1.025ov bios I am seeing some weird behavior of it. If I leave the clocks @ default settings my GPU utilization is in the high 80's to 90's. If I overclock it to 915/2250 or 980/2250 it drops to 50's. Is this normal? Cheers

You are probably becoming CPU limited. Whats your proc?

Does anyone want to take this and mod it for the MSI 2GB verson please? I would love to test but I don't have the 4GB card

Also, does anyone now why my GPU Usage ALWAYS looks like this while playing Crysis 3 or FarCry 3?

No other games do this... they will all max out GPU Usage at 100% while these games make it jumpy, causing frame drops left and right... it kind of makes the games unplayable

This is how it looks with all other games:

Maybe you are getting cpu limited and its causing the usage on the card to drop. I get this in BF3 at times, but it doesnt happen often.

Just tested my 675mx. I got it to 1006Mhz on the Core and 2250Mhz on the memory. I havent pushed it further. Im going to game a little, then get back to benching

GTX660M or GTX570 ?

mobilty graphics are not so good like desktop.

the gtx660m has the power of the gts450 !

the gtx680m has less power than the gtx570

At stock sure... but mobility chips tend to have tons of OC room too.

I use "laptop lifts" as Brian mentioned. They stick on the base of the machine with 3m double side adhesive and lift the laptop significantly off the desk. Great improvement and is all that is needed.

I think this is the route Ill be taking. I just cant see spending $40-60 on a fan

As of right now I would have to say nVidia. I use to be a big fan of ATi cards, but after numerous driver and game issues I made the switch and never looked back. I'm not saying Ati cards arent any good now, I just prefer the drivers and quality of nVidia cards.

I hate rebranded cards. That's what caused the whole naming fiasco with the gtx 600m & mx cards

planet side is probably one of the most cpu bound games out right now. I doubt any mobile proc will be able to run it well without overclocking.

Hi, I just recently bought my first laptop in forever. It has a MSI gtx 675MX 4GB card in it. I registered to try and download the vbios so I could do some overclocking, but every time I try to download it, it says I have insufficient privileges. Any help please . I oc'ed using afterburning and saw a 10fps increase just from raising the clock by 135. I would really like to OC further.
