Pascal overclocking (Laptop)

[willhub]

My laptop has a GTX1070 in it, I've upped the clocked in MSI Control centre 200/350 and seem to get up to 1950MHz depending on temperature. Just wondering if anyone else overclocks their pascal cards in their laptop?

Cheers.

Mine is power limited in BIOS though, so I have a very moderate core clock as gpu boost does most of it regardless, and power limits stop it getting much higher, with a half decent memory overclock.
+50/+700 IIRC

While i can oc the Gtx1060 on the predator 15, the monitor is 60hz so is not needed. I am more cpu limited tbh.

GTX1060 overclocking 700 on memory? I've got 400 on my memory on my GXT1070 but never really thought if it'd go any higher?

Yep +700
From memory, at stock VMEM runs at 6000 MHz on the laptop 1060 card, so this puts it at 7400 (I can check tonight).

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have the core run higher on average, or simply stay locked there regards of load once 3DLoad applied, but due to the laptops VBIOS power limit and the GPU Boost gumph Nvidia use these days, I felt pushing the memory back towards desktop clock speeds, with a slight boost to GPU clock speed average, was likely to net a better overall result than pushing for a slightly higher boost clock average, as with no power limit or vgpu control, the control over what NV GPUBoost decides to do (once you've changed settings to prefer maximum performance) is virtually non existant.

Bit of a pain all told, but without hardware mod, and a complete lack of any enthusiast options in this machines BIOS, I am pretty limited in what further I can do.

Shame really, temps overall are really good, ~70-80 under full load when I last checked, so I could probably push a decent whack further if I had more control.

Edit: don't know if it's doable without a physical programmer but worth a read if you haven't seen it.

The power supply for my laptop is 230W so I guess it'd still be quite limited regardless of that?

Yeah seen that before, not really ideal as like you mention requires hardware programmer, not to mention my 1060 is integrated onto the machine's mobo rather than being an MXM chip so if something goes wrong anywhere or falls into a mobo blacklist...

Kinda frustrating, as if the BIOS for this laptop wasn't so damn restrictive and actually offered full advanced options, I'd probably be able to tweak the power limit there.

I've got an unlocked bios but doesn't have power limit tweaking

 

[Alexrose1uk]

Btw I checked and yes am at +50/+700
If I run GPU-Z GPU test, my GPU is running around 1750-1900 (does drop lower than that in some games) and memory is sitting happy at 2352.4 MHz (9410 effective)

I got my 107 at 200/750 but run at 200/600 as anything higher doesn't really gain anything performance wise
