Laptop 9500M

[pokerking]

Hi got a Aspire with an 9500M GPU, I have seen some guides to overclock the card, is there any point? Also I take it the GPU will be pants to most but what kind of games can you play?

I have had CIV5 on my main PC and TDU 2 aswell as Hot Persuit I can get hold of, no point in buying them if I cant play them.

The CPU is an Intel 2.0GHZ T5750 and 4GB Ram!

Thanks people

I have a Dell XPS M1330 with an T7250 (pretty similar) and a GeForce 8400M GS which is a slower card according to this

It's no gaming power house but was pretty quick in it's day. For reference I can max out Far Cry (the first) and Half Life 2/EPs and that vintage of game. Anything more recent and it's a mixed bag. I doubt TDU2 will run well on your 9500m

Oh and I've found overclocking laptop GPUs to be somewhere between pointless and a bit crazy

You can push it up a little bit, my mate has an acer with the same chip, the 9500GS. The main issue is heat...Maybe tru to block/suck some dust out of the system before trying to oc it!

Im not sure how it will run brand new games but it was good enough for Company of Heroes in dx9 mode with some settings turned down...but it is quite an intensive game.

Thanks for the info guys Managed to OC the GPU to the below;

CIV 5 on the max settings plays superb, so you guys think TDU2 wont play?

Are there any good benching software to get an idea how well it performs? The clocks are stable and its running fine no problem. I have an Aspire 6920 and the cooling on this Laptop is very good. It is free of dust and the like. Do you think the GPU overclock would be safe?
