    Hello,

    I'm trying to find out if anyone has had some stable overclocking on the GPU currently I'm playing TESO on ultra and sitting around 40 frames, ideally I would like it as close to 60 as possible.

    Currently I have the CPU undervolted by 75mv as this is overvolted from stock anyhow.

    I don't intend to overvolt the GPU as this requires a bios flash, but has anyone managed to get some good overclocking on the 860m 4GB? I believe we have Kepler architecture.

    Also if so what was your temps like and what software would you recommend? Currently with a cooling pad and undervolt my CPU temp has dropped from 50-52 degrees Celsius to 35-37 this leaves more headroom for heat generation from GPU, this is with silent fans. with max fans it gets closer to 30.

    Overclocking isn't going to do much, maybe 5% performance gain. You're not going to go from 40 to 60. From 40 to 42 fps is more like it. GPU performance doesn't depend on the clock so much as the CUDA cores, and there's no way to increase those.

    Anyway, just OC it yourself and test it for an hour or so each time monitoring temps. It isn't hard or dangerous.
