Start overclocking it and find out. I was able to push mine ~20% over stock clocks IIRC.

I used nVidia System Tools for overclocking. What are you using?

I got mine up to 825/1050 for 24/7 use, a little higher for benching. Try System Tools, but be sure to uninstall Afterburner first. Also, watch your temps

Since gt 630m is based on the same chip, can you tell me what's the failsafe temperature for this card?
post #9 of 18
I would recommend keeping it under 90C max. I'd feel a lot more comfortable under 85C, personally.
