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.”
