Nvidia to Bring Back Overclocking of GTX 900M Series GPUS

No more clockblocking with March update

Last week, Nvidia released a driver update that removed the ability for consumers to overclock their GeForce GTX 900M Series GPUs. The reason for this, the company explained, was that, “GeForce notebooks were not designed to support overclocking.” Since then, there has been a general outcry from PC enthusiasts who might wish to overclock, or underclock, their mobile GPUs. In response, Nvidia has decided to restore the ability to overclock the GTX 900M series with a driver update that will be available in March.
“As you know, we are constantly tuning and optimizing the performance of your GeForce PC,” said an Nvidia customer care representative in a support forum thread. “We obsess over every possible optimization so that you can enjoy a perfectly stable machine that balances game, thermal, power, and acoustic performance. Still, many of you enjoy pushing the system even further with overclocking.”
The representative continued, “Our recent driver update disabled overclocking on some GTX notebooks. We heard from many of you that you would like this feature enabled again. So, we will again be enabling overclocking in our upcoming driver release next month for those affected notebooks.”
For those who would like to overclock their GPU, but are not willing to wait for the new driver, the representative added that consumers can revert back to driver version 344.75.
