14 DAY TRIAL // NVIDIA has been under no small amount of scrutiny lately on the part of laptop buyers and customers in general, as well as general bystanders. Then again, when you suddenly can a long-standing feature and say it was never supposed to exist, eyebrows are sure to twitch.
For those not keeping track of this, NVIDIA recently disabled GeForce GTX 900M mobile GPU overclocking, without even letting people know in advance.
This after about a decade of overclocking being perfectly possible on its laptop discrete graphics processors. The official reason was that the mobile GPU was not meant to be overclocked.
Fast forward to the present day and you have a whole world full of people crying foul and not believing any part of that statement.
Instead, the general consensus (or part of it anyway) is that NVIDIA was preparing the market for the arrival of a new line of mobile GPUs with slight speed bumps. Fortunately, whether or not that's true is now a moot point.
On the GeForce Forums, NVIDIA finally gave in to public pressure and said it would restore overclocking support via the software driver update scheduled for March release.
In the meantime, owners of GeForce GPU-enabled laptops can revert to the older GeForce 344.75 driver to restore OC capability immediately.
