    So the GT735's 3850 is underclocked by 20%, which is a huge number. I want to "overclock" it back to stock speeds, but I'm afraid that my 3 year warranty will go void with this overclock. What do you guys suggest I do? I doubt I'm going to fry the GPU or anything, but still... :confused:

    The turbo button overclocks the CPU, not the GPU. You should try asking in some of the GT735 threads in the forum

    CCC centre can overclock, or itl require a vbios flash. (risky)

    Or your reading the clocks wrong.

    The 4850s underclock when doing low tasks, even when games are minimised it can downclock.
