problem with overclocking
I'm attempting to increase my GPU's performance but encounter issues when launching games. The GPU driver appears to stop functioning, yet the system recovers. However, other applications remain unaffected, and everything functions normally except for the GPU. This is with a Lenovo Y580 using GeForce GTX 660M i7 3630QM on Windows 10.
Sergeant_Sneaky explains that the issue often stems from an unstable overclock. Laptop parts and general laptops aren't designed for overclocking, though some newer models are. It's better to stick with the stock settings. He asks about the actual performance gain. He fixed it himself by resolving driver problems and adding too many components. Now everything works fine. He mentions boosting the core clock by around 135 MHz and memory clock by 145 MHz, but going beyond that causes instability. He's looking for ways to enhance his laptop's performance and improve game FPS.
This generally indicates an unstable overclock. Additionally, laptop parts and most laptops aren't designed for overclocking; some newer models may be, while older ones likely aren't. It's best to stick with the standard settings. How much improvement are you expecting from your adjustments?
