What is the recommended overclocking level for the GTX 960M laptop card?
Hello! For your GTX 960m in a laptop, finding the optimal overclocked core clock and memory clock is important. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
The actual model of your laptop, including any sub models, CPU details, etc., is as follows. In short, laptops aren't great for gaming. A console would be a much better option, just like it feels when I have to admit that. Even the most capable desktops are still far behind in terms of cooling power, regardless of how they're marketed or designed.
Laptops come with finely tuned cooling systems that are strictly built for the CPU and GPU as intended by the manufacturer, rarely handling anything beyond that. Pushing overclocking in a laptop is essentially a sure path to premature hardware failure. Most people overlook this warning, only realizing its consequences after their system starts throttling or failing completely under normal use.
I’m not sure if you can assist with this, but when playing games I’m nowhere close to 90% GPU usage and sometimes my frames start dropping. I checked my bottleneck percentage and it’s 17%, since the CPU is better than the GPU. Because overclocking isn’t an option, what should I do to reach full GPU utilization?
Gaming laptops are known for thermal throttling.
This happens due to the necessity of compact and lightweight cooling systems.
Even with a higher overclocked graphics card, your frame rate will likely be limited by heat and CPU thermal throttling.
The actual model of your laptop, including any sub models, CPU details, etc., is as follows. In short, laptops aren't great for gaming. A console would be a much better option, just like it feels when I have to admit that. Even the most capable desktops are still far inferior to consoles or laptops. No matter how powerful a laptop seems, all of them have very limited cooling options inside, so their cooling performance is essentially the same regardless of marketing claims or design choices.
