    how can i overclock my 7950 gtx?Everytime i change a setting in msi afterburner it reverts to stock. I also cannot flash the bios on it as it is giving me a hierarchy miss match.

    msi afterburner works on any gpu. I have used it on anything from xfx cards to dell oem cards to overclock them

    I never did much with overclocking a laptop card given how poor the heatsinks usually are at even keeping the stock temps down, but if afterburner isn't working for you, and neither is the Bios flash have you tried to see if you can force a bios flash? Also what notebook do you have? There may be cards you can upgrade to.
