    so i'm thinking we should start a collection of info with MSI afterburner and successful OC with this product. what settings your use and what GHz you run at, and how long you've been running it that way.

    Game stable I can run at the afterburner max available 585/1404/1760 (memory can't quite max out at 1800).

    I have 5 separate overclocks in total (well the first profile is stock clocks). I normally go for either the max overclock or a more modest 550/1320/1740.

    I can't remember the last time I actually games at stock clocks.

    You mind telling me what else you tweaked?
    Because the nvidia driver crashed and recovered immediately when I click apply at that clock you mentioned.
    And the clocked stucked at 405/810/342 permanently until I restart the windows D:

    awyongcarl you can't expect your computer to automatically run the clocks other peoples computer can run. Overclocking is an art when it comes to high overclocks(585/1404/1760 is a pretty good OC), every gpu can handle different OC's some can't handle an OC at all. Start at the base/stock clock and slowly increase by 5-10mhz then run a stress test on it like furmark. Once you hit the barrier of your gpu you will know because you will see either artifacts or the driver will crash again.

    I've tried actually.
    From scratch, +5 increment for each try.
    Maximum I can get is 550/1320/850.

    So I suppose that is as far as my 335m can go.
    Still..couldn't help but to wonder. lol.

    the problem i'm having. is as soon as i set mine to 550/1320/890 it takes it and runs at those settings but anytime i activate a game or task it absolutely plummets. basically back to stock.
