Hi,

Bad news here:
https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/805791/geforce-drivers/gtx-900m-overclocking-with-347-09-34...

I quote: "Unfortunately GeForce notebooks were not designed to support overclocking. Overclocking is by no means a trivial feature, and depends on thoughtful design of thermal, electrical, and other considerations. By overclocking a notebook, a user risks serious damage to the system that could result in non-functional systems, reduced notebook life, or many other effects.

There was a bug introduced into our drivers which enabled some systems to overclock. This was fixed in a recent update. Our intent was not to remove features from GeForce notebooks, but rather to safeguard systems from operating outside design limits."

This sounds more like a lie or a joke than politician-like double talk...

I have seen some GPU-z screenshots from other 970m notebooks (msi, alienware) and they have a boost at 1038mhz too, so that's not linked with this vbios thing 😕

Just in case the post disappears...

"As you know, we are constantly tuning and optimizing the performance of your GeForce PC.

We obsess over every possible optimization so that you can enjoy a perfectly stable machine that balances game, thermal, power, and acoustic performance.

Still, many of you enjoy pushing the system even further with overclocking.

Our recent driver update disabled overclocking on some GTX notebooks. We heard from many of you that you would like this feature enabled again. So, we will again be enabling overclocking in our upcoming driver release next month for those affected notebooks.

If you are eager to regain this capability right away, you can also revert back to 344.75."

I hate it when they act like they are doing everything for us. I'm always imagining one smartass that all his life was a total loser and then he acts like a bussiness man considering that all other people are stupid and inferior to them. God damn, I hate this marteking fake faces, especially from big names which dissappointed me in the last year.

Of well, had to take that out of my chest. You guys can also use the G-Sync Modded drivers which are 347.25 and have OC unlocked. You can always disable the G-Sync if you want to run them as normal drivers.
