Can I overclock nvidia gt 330m? Pros/Cons?

[anothergeek]

only when I'm under the influence

thank yeh

330M is a spiffy chip, and somehow Sony fit it in the loaded 13" Z. Those are lux...

Hey guys, yeah I'm a little confused now because of conflicting suggestions. Here's what I have right now:

original/new
575/650 gpu clock
790/800 memory
1265/1550 shader

My max temp has been 70. I'm happy with the results. Any reason to change these around?

What are the other specs of your machine? I ask because I just ordered a Vaio Icy White and I'm hoping I'll be able to game on it as well. Reading your results in this thread make me optimistic to say the least. Now I am just hoping my specs are equal to or better than the machine you are playing on.

Can we compare specs? Mine is an i5 520M (2.93GHZ), 4 GIG DDR3, Nvidia GT 330m (obviously), 500GIG HD

I have an i7 (the low end) and 6 gig of ram, playing at FHD resolution.

clocks are allright... jsut change shader one to 1625MHz or lower Core to 625MHz and leave the shader alone.

[philbond07]

But according to notebookcheck, the mem is clocked to 1066.
Why is it clocked so low in the vaio and why can't it be clockedup to 1066 here?

I'm thinking about getting the Vaio F. How is the 330 compared to a Macbook Pro's 9600 that I will be moving away from?

[sean473]

It will be an improvement but not as great one as this if u wait... There is a great laptop comming this month... ASUS G73... comes with core i7 quad core , ATI 5870 , which is fastest mobile GPU, 8GB RAM , full HD 17 inch screen and Blue ray for $1600 USD... .... if ur willing to wait , u'll get the bargain of the century... u could max out all games... GT330M is good but not as good... but if u really want the sony , well it shouldm play games on full HD res but might have problems with more demanding games like crysis or GTA... should have no problems at all with 5870 which should allow u to play any game at max settings... somemore G73 has Directx11 while the GT330M is of old directx10.1... ur choice really...

[HoosierInFL]

Yeah, I know about the G73, and it is a great deal for what you get. It just isn't very portable. I don't play games very often, but when I do, I don't want it to be worse than the 9600 I had been using.

[sean473]

well then there the ASUS N61 , 71 and 81 series with core i7 quad and ATI 5730 which is actually better than GT330M....

[mangosango]

got it to 775/948/1705. The computer started glitching and aero turned off then I tried 800/948/1760.
