thnxx rider, but this one is also behaving like the previous one, the icon is shown in taskbar, but nothing comes up and it's taking 15% CPU in the background..

Dude!! How much time does your laptop take to startup?

me too..
i also get shocks, actually got a very strong one when i touched the vga port, but i think that it's a earthing problem, because in one socket in my house, there's no current flowing in laptop...
can you tell how you managed to overclock it??
i also tried with Sapphire TRIXX (which does'nt run), and MSI Afterburner (which does'nt go beyond core speeds)..
A guide for overclocking AMD Radeon 7730M
***In this guide i have explained how to overclock core and memory clocks of 7730M for increased performance, this overclocking guide is safe since it doesn't involve messing around with voltage but somehow if you brick your gpu, i cannot be held responsible***
You will need,
*MSI afterburner (other OC tools like riva tuner, EVGA precision, sapphire trixx and asus gpu tweak won't work)
*Furmark
*Two .dll files namely, atipdl64.dll & atipdlxx.dll, these are needed since AMD has withdrawn support for official overclocking by removing overdrive option in catalyst control center of new drivers (google the names and download)
*At least two demanding games to test stability
Now follow these steps
*Install MSI afterburner and open the application, it will show you the stock speeds (you cannot overclock at this point, this step is just to create a profile folder)
*Now go to MSI afterburner installation folder and open a .cfg file named Afterburner with notepad, scroll down to the bottom and modify as shown below,
[ATIADLHAL]
UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 1
*Save the file and paste a copy of it in profile folder also
*Now move the two .dll files into the MSI installation folder or move atipdl64.dll to windows>system32 and atipdlxx.dll to windows>SysWOW64
*Open the registry editor and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}, find the following, EnableCrossFire, EnableUlps & EnableUlps_NA, change all their values to 0.
*Restart
Overclocking
*Open MSI afterburner and modify the memory clock first, take it slow and increase the frequency by 10-15 Mhz. After each increase run furmark burn-in test at native resolution(1366*768) in full screen for at least 5 minutes. once you see artefacts or if furmark crashes reduce the frequency by 10Mhz.
*Repeat the above step for core clock also.
*I have read about a guy with hp laptop who couldn't get past 590Mhz with core clock, i was able to go till 645Mhz but the games became highly unstable so i had to again reduce the frequency. My final stable OC values are coreclock=610Mhz and memory=940Mhz.
*Use furmark only as a primary benchmark to test system stability and to monitor gpu load and temperature, your final benchmark should be the games. I used witcher 2 and Battlefield BC2, if games crash after overclocking just reduce the frequency by 10Mhz.
Getting BSOD during overclocking is normal. Make sure that you have not selected ''apply overclocking at system statup'' option in afterburner, if you select it you might get BSOD at statup.
*Save the profile of your most stable oc values and load it every time before you launch a game.
*Use fraps for in game fps monitoring and observe the increase in performance after overclocking.
HAPPY GAMING!!!

vry vry thnxxx bro..
I tried overclocking, and i have the stability till 630mhz core and 960mhz memory..
though i did'nt tried games above it, but i ran 3DMark11 test @ 675 core and 1005 memory, and not much boost from previous result, but it was able to complete without instability, and temps were GPU Max 74c @ these settings:

above these settings, amd driver would crash..
As you see, max speed in afterburner is 750, which unfortunately i tried and system got hang..
6699???
mine and girish's was close to 10500..
what drivers are you using???
well, in the meantime i tested the 3DMark11 benchmark, and got almost the same score as Notebookcheck.net has recieved..
3DMark11 score: 1678.

My previous result was 1678, now it's 1864...

well, i say that performance has improved to a sweet point..
I tried crysis 2 and arkham city with the settings as previous, core 675 and memory 1005, and results are quite impressive..
Crysis 2:
*i.imgur.com/FCmz1.jpg
*i.imgur.com/8rjIP.jpg
Earlier i used to get 20-25fps in ultra settings, now i am getting 20-35fps, mostly above 25fps... So a good improvement..
Arkham City:
*i.imgur.com/G6JVl.jpg
*i.imgur.com/PCtOp.jpg
Was getting ~20fps again on these settings, now getting 25-35fps, mostly ~25fps in open and above 30 in rooms etc..
Temps:
*i.imgur.com/OM5Lu.jpg
Temps have increased a bit i think, as these are of just 20 min gameplay of both crysis 2 and arkham city, when i ran crysis 2 earlier after 3dmark11, temps rose to 83c in 40min. of gameplay of crysis 2..
GPU temps acc to Afterburner was 76c, sorry forgot to take screenshot of it..
Conclusion: I think these settings are behaving normally, no instability was found in either gameplay or 3dMark test, temps are bit high, but not alarmingly high, just 5-7c higher than normal clock..
And i think it's normal working of these cards, as Notebookcheck.net says that these cards are made to work in clock range of 575-675mhz, and they are behaving normally under 675mhz... Overclocking would be i think if we go above 675mhz, coz till 675mhz, it's stock clock speed..
And remember, i am using 12.7 beta drivers, so after official drivers are launched, we could hope more improvements in gameplay...

Thanks a lot for the effort man. You deserve a cookie
gimme the cookie....
btw, we are here only to help each other, i think we should also thank potheadninja, as without him, we would'nt have figured out how to overclock..
I actually had lost all hopes of overclocking this card, as nobody was'nt able to go beyond 590mhz.. But now we have hope..

Thanks for the benchmarks dude, I never imagined that this card could handle crysis 2 at ultra btw why does your 3dmarks score sheet says 7750m instead of 7730m? And would you say it is performing better than stock 640m?
P.S- even though these cards have
been designed to clock between 575-675 mhz, I think the current voltage is only suitable for stock and mild overclocking so dont push your card too much.

well, as it's beta driver, you see that 3dmark11 says "Graphics Driver not approved.", or it could be that Futuremarks still has'nt updated their databases..
Yes, it's performing better than stock 640m, much better, as Notebookcheck shows 3dmark 11 score of 640m as 1844.2, which is of GDDR5 640m, our 7730m is a ddr3 card, and still scores much higher (20pts) than GDDR5 640m, as i read somewhere that Directx11 has about 25% performance increase in GDDR5 against ddr3..
And yes, i have lowered down the clock to default stock, will use only when needed, and it's still not intensely tested, so let's wait for some other users to test these settings for longer use..
And once official drivers are launched, i see these cards going ~2000 on 3dmark11, hope this happens..

Can someone please tell me whether charging a laptop from unearthed power source has any risks? Does it affect battery health?
Ratul have you ran windows experience index after overclocking? Is there any change?

yes, it's really risky, i have been experiencing some serious "shocks" while gaming..
About battery health, i don't have any idea, but i think it should'nt affect the battery due to a big brick with the charger, which i think regulates the voltage, as i have never seen laptop burning before the brick..
And i have'nt run the WEI, due to the fact that users warned me earlier of it not being a good benchmarking tool, that's why i did 3DMark11...

Apart from that constant tingling and occasional shocks are there any risks to the laptop?
guys please help me with this

Yeah!! You are right.
@potheadninja
Thanks a lot Mr. ninja
No really! Thanks. Although I intend to keep it overclocked, if I get around doing it. What are the risks involved if I do so?
@chinmaya
This has been solved earlier. Please Check it out a few pages back.
OP
rider
as Kratos
This sorta issue has been mention many times. You have to manually set max payne 3 in high performance mode.

No rider, actually this is an issue with the enduro technology. The autoswitching doesn't work always, even on setting to high performance.
@chinmaya
You need to force the game to run in direct x 11 mode, then the AMD GPU will kick in. Please check out the exact steps a few pages back.

i don't think so..
there should'nt be anymore risks, but let other users comment on this too...
