Laptop GPU Overclock

[matto97]

Can some one tell me what would be a stable OC for a Radeon 7670M. and please dont say dont OC a laptop GPU. all i ant to know what OC would be stable cause im really need more performence

[SSOB]

There isn't laptop gpu's basically cant be oc'd :(

If you "really need" more performance, I really don't think an OC will give you what you want. OC'ing a GPU is to get those last few frames of performance. It won't be a big performance boost. 

 

Also, with a laptop your stuck with the power brick, which may not be able to give you the extra power you need to OC it. 

 

I'm no expert with Laptop GPU's but I'd say most here would recommend not to do it, sorry to burst the bubble.

Just carry on slowly putting up the clock speed until it gets unstable. I don't have that GPU in my laptop so I wouldn't know. Why don't you try googling for it?

[matto97]

i have a small OC on it now cause i wasnt shore on how high i can go so yes you can OC laptop GPU's but i will try to pu it ups lowly i dont want it to get over 80c tho.

Not worth it so don't even bother mate. If you really do insist though, keep notching up just a little bit until you reach a threshhold temperature that you are happy with.

What are your temps? I wouldn't overclock it by that much because it could get very hot.

He should leave it near 70

[SteepGnomeKing]

Not sure of what to put it at I'd just be increasing it slowly and testing it out checking temps and for artifacts.

I wouldn't do it mate, they run hot as hell at stock, if you want your laptop to catch fire then set fire to it, would be much quicker.

Not a good idea. the manufacturer knows how much heat will be made and dissipated. The extra couple of frames is not worth the risk.

Yeah OC on laptop just burns your hands off.  Plus more heat will help kill the laptop.  Btw if you still want to bring it up make sure to get a great laptop cooler.

You can OC the GPU of a laptop. But it depends on the laptop. Some have horrible cooling. Others, like mine, barely gets warmer. It all comes down to how is the cooling engineering that was done on the system, including the quality of heatsink, and thermal paste.

Overclocking your GPU might gets you a nice fPS bump like it might not.

Basically if you have those GPUs where they have been down clocked from higher end model, then you can "restore" it to the full speed (please note that you can't adjust voltage, so you won't be able to get it to the same specs exactly, and be solid stable). If that is not the case, then I am afraid you overclock won't get you far, and you'll only gain a few fps.

I have made a software that automatically control the desktop or laptop GPU performance based on overclock/underclock profiles that you create (like: Power Saver, High Performance, Medium Performance, Overclock profile 1, etc), which the program will auto switch based on what you are running, using a community supported catalog of games and applications. Imagine AfterBurner, but once you define the profiles, the software switch profiles for you. Also, it knows that you are on a laptop, and and offers a bunch of options, like force the GPU at minimum speed no mater what, when on battery, helping boost the system battery life a bit more. For GPU overclockers on the desktop, it helps keep the system cool and quieter, by having the GPU downclock to lower performance when not gaming, and when you game it switches to your overclock software. It also features overheating protection, where it continuously monitors the GPU temperatures, and hwen it detects it gets too hot, it will temporarily throttle the performance to allow the GPU to cool off, and avoid overheating and crashing your game session, and as soon as it has a bit of headroom in heat, it restore normal operation defined by the program.

Pretty nifty program (http://www.nvgpupro.com/nvgpupro/). Sadly, it's for Nvidia GPUs, as I don't have an AMD graphic card to develop for it.

However, I am working on a new version of the software which integrated MSI AfterBurner and EVGA Precision, for people that want to do more serious overclocking than using Nvidia System Tools, and it means that it will work for AMD graphic card, but some features won't work like overheating protection, as I can't pull the GPU temperature.

I've got a 14 inch vaio with a 7670m also. I usually run 760mhz core clock and a 1170mhz memory clock using msi afterburner. never get any artifacts with those clocks and temps never go over 70 degrees C (running furmark). obviously you'll get different temps and it goes without saying that you should look at your temps very closely. if your gpu runs above 80 at stock don't bother, its best to leave it as is. good luck with your oc!

I've OC'ed my Nvidia laptop card and it's not a whole lot of performance gain. It let's me get a few more FPS but not a whole lot.
