well i tried skyrim, huge improvement, 5-8fps..
GTA IV: 2-3fps
Batman Arkham city: 2-3fps
PES 2013 demo: no improvement
NFS Run: can't say, don't go above 30fps..
Crysis 2: Almost same (1-2fps increase).

Don't have witcher 2, so can't say about that, these are games i tried after 12.8, rest (like prototype) require less power so that's constant 60fps only..
Stable OC value same as previous:
Core: 675mhz
Memory: 1005mhz.



bro, that's because of enduro in AMD, 7730m won't kick in until needed, what fps are you getting in creed and mw3, i was able to play creed smoothly in highest settings, so if you can too, then 7730m is active..

And no utility will show 7730m (speccy, ccleaner, dxdiag), cause it's not active on the system by default, and you can't make 7730m default, i tried by uninstalling intel drivers, then windows aero was gone, and screen resolution was like 800x600...
7730m is just there when needed, nothing else, if you think it's not working, you can compare your game fps with the one on Notebookcheck.net, mostly you should get higher than that..

I dont know how your gpu is handling such clocks man, no matter what I do I can't get past 610 core and 950 memory..are u getting bsod randomly? And is there any structural anomaly in your laptop near the speaker (the one with the skullcandy logo)? In my laptop the back cover is not properly placed so the aluminium casing is slightly bent as it is forced against the speaker, it is nothing serious but it has been bugging me since I noticed it, I tried to fix it by removing the cover but couldn't.

try re-installing drivers from here..
i think there must be something wrong with your drivers, as mine remembers "high performance" setting once i assign it..
unfortunately, you can't disable enduro, the card is made for enduro, it can't kick in without it...

nup, mine does'nt have any structural anomaly, can't see any un-natural bend @ the speaker.. (See Spoiler)

And i am having completely normal behavior in gaming or any other task after overclock, no bsod, no glitches, nothing, everything working perfectly normal, though i just apply the clocks before gaming, after that i switch to normal clocks again.. :)

Does anyone know how to manually activate turbo boost? I want to always keep my laptop in that state, also apart from me and ratul has anyone else overclocked 7730m? if so please post your stable clock values.

ASUS G55VW OR Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition.... which is better in terms of performance and value???
Click to expand...
G55VW beats 17R SE hands down IMO, but it costs a lot more too. Also I am not sure whether 17 inches screen is available for this one.

Turbo boost is activated all the time by default. I don't think you need to worry about that. I didn't get the time to overclock mine, just a little time crunched. I'll give it a go this weekend.

Hey bro please take a picture of your laptop by flipping it upside down, focus near that speaker. Thanks in advance.
