I am having dell inspiron 17R SE.... It has GT650M 2GB GDDR5 and intel core i7-3610
i overclocked my laptop GPU using MSI Afterburner and used Geeks3D FurMark v1.10.2 for testing temperature and 3DMark 11 Basic version for the improvements....
Actually I have few questions....
1) How much do u think the max temperature should go in a notebook..... in my case the max temp recorded was 81 degree in Burn-In Benchmark 1920 X 1080 15min (AA off)? ( I am using a cooling pad)
2) I increased the default core clock by 135MHz i.e to 969MHz and Memory clock by 200MHz i.e to 2202MHz and it gave me
a score of

SCORE
P2737
GRAPHICS SCORE
2506
PHYSICS SCORE
7856
COMBINED SCORE
2130






------------------------
and before overclocking it was:

SCORE
P2390 3DMarks
GRAPHICS SCORE
2182
PHYSICS SCORE
7132
COMBINED SCORE
1864
-----------------------

so next time i tried to increase the memory clock by more 100MHz( which will be 2302MHz) there is still no difference in the performance.... Why??

3)Do u think it is getting close to GT660M?
4)Any Suggestions?


Note: I am using the latest Driver i.e 306.97-notebook-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql
