    Assuming there is life out there smarter than us, and assuming they can travel here (they might not even need to physically travel here), what I can imagine is a type of catch release (maybe not even the release part) program to catalog this planet... like we do with other animals.  It is loosely possible, I would have to admit.

    Mr.Jackson reacted to GoodBytes in Nvidia re-blocked Overclocking silently in the latest drivers for the 900M series graphics card   
    I don't get people saying "you can't or should not overclock a mobile GPU". First of all, the processor should handle being under 98C degree continuously. Yes it is not ideal, but the system should handle it. If it breaks, then it is a manufacture fault or poor engineering. Simple as that. It is not a problem on the desktop, why it would be on a laptop. If you reach 100C the system overheating protection will start and the system will turn off. That is your problem.
    If you have a laptop with a great cooling solution (something YOU DO HAVE, on a well build, well designed, laptop (which tend to cost more, but if you are cheap, than the blame is on you for cheeping out for the specs)), your mobile GPU should be at reasonable temperatures, and if you have room to overclock it, and push the temps closer to the emergency shutdown system, then well good, if you don't mind the risk.
    Voltage control is something you can't do in any case on a mobile GPU. To my knowledge Nvidia has never allowed it, and manufactures never put component for it (mind you, I didn't experience every laptop with an Nvidia GPU ever made. So sorry if there was that 1-2 laptop where the manufacture implement such ability).
    My old laptop I could near double the GPU clock speed passing my Quadro NVS 160M (GeForce 9300m but with 256Mb of dedicated memory instead of system shared) to a performance close to a 9500m which is massively faster. No voltage control, max temp with Furmark 97C. The laptop was with a far more hot CPU than what we have today (Core 2 Duo), it is from 2008, 14inch. Single fan. And the bottom was not burning hot, just warm, due to the good cooling it had (business class system)

    All of you saying that overclocking a laptop gpu can be dangerous are partially true. If you are overclocking on something like an ultrabook or slim laptop then you WILL damage your hardware from overheating problems and maybe even overvoltage if you were dumb enough to do that. This isn't the case as most of these laptops have gpu's that are below mid-range cards that generally can't be overclocked much anyway. However, the people who are complaining about this are people like me who actually paid for a laptop that can overclock because it has good cooling. I paid $1400 for my laptop last year because I'm at school and it's easier carrying a bulky laptop around than having to worry about leaving my desktop in my dorm and possibly having it fucked up. This makes no sense whatsoever, maxwell runs even cooler than my kepler 870m so I have no idea why they would disable overclocking on there more power efficient and cooler running cards. Not to mention that most people who have 960-980m's in their laptops are the ones who paid $1000+ for their laptop. If Nvidia feels so strongly about disabling overclocking because of potential damage to their cards, why not disable overclocking on the lower end as those are the ones that can't handle it/generally don't have the cooling for overclocking. It really isn't that hard a concept Nvidia

    Well Richard Huddy is not a neutral party.

    But what adds weight to his claim is the statement below from CD Projekt
    "Many of you have asked us if AMD Radeon GPUs would be able to run NVIDIA’s HairWorks technology – the answer is yes! However, unsatisfactory performance may be experienced as the code of this feature cannot be optimized for AMD products."

    Let's be completely honest. If someone makes up their mind that they're going to off themselves, at least provide a pain-free, clean alternative. 12 gauge works, but it also means scrubbing the walls and replacing drywall for hours.
