my ati catalyst control center doesnt seem to have the overclocking feature and amd does not provide drivers for laptop graphics.is there any other way to overclock my gpu
This topic is locked from further discussion.
If you're thinking about overclocking a laptop GPU, I would think twice. Laptops are already designed with limited cooling, and then that cooling is already designed to be pushed to the max. You're not going to get far before your temps get into the danger zone, and even then you won't have clocked far enough to make a difference.
Do not overclock your gpu in your laptop. Laptop cooling is already insufficient for the most part and it's really not worth the extra 4-5 fps if you end up frying your system.
Kinda depends on how partial u are to ur Lappy. I have an old Compaq Laptop with an ATI Gpu as well. I was able to overclock it mildly and I didnt seem to have any problems. Sure it got hot - but ah well, like I said - its an older laptop. If I had anything new I wouldnt dream of attempting it. Of course, If I had a newer laptop I'd be sure to buy a decent one enough to where I didnt have to worry about OC'ng it in the first place.my ati catalyst control center doesnt seem to have the overclocking feature and amd does not provide drivers for laptop graphics.is there any other way to overclock my gpu

i installed ati traytool,ati tool,riva tuner and found that non of them were able to adjust my gpu clock.maybe sony made this laptop overclock proof or is there any othere way.by the way my temps(gpu)are mostly from50-60's.my laptop actually runs pretty cool which made me to think about oc'ing.ati's website says that there is no driver support for ati mobility radeon products and they should be downloaded from the notebook manufacturer site.but is it ok if i download the latest version of theCCC only without the display driver(which i already downloaded from the sony site).and the main question is why is mY CCC not displaying options for overclocking.has sony intentionally made them unavailable and will installing the new CCC HELP.i know it is a lot of questions but someone help me
ATI only unlocks driver level overclocking for their gaming/enthusiast parts. For example Radeon HD 4800, Radeon HD 4700, and Radeon HD 4600 level cards. When you start getting into the 4500 and 4300 series of cards that feature is no longer available because these are entry-level and budget minded cards where gaming isn't a top priority, low power consumption and stability are. It's not a problem with CCC, it's by design. CCC identifies what chip you have installed and gives you access to overdrive accordingly.i installed ati traytool,ati tool,riva tuner and found that non of them were able to adjust my gpu clock.maybe sony made this laptop overclock proof or is there any othere way.by the way my temps(gpu)are mostly from50-60's.my laptop actually runs pretty cool which made me to think about oc'ing.ati's website says that there is no driver support for ati mobility radeon products and they should be downloaded from the notebook manufacturer site.but is it ok if i download the latest version of theCCC only without the display driver(which i already downloaded from the sony site).and the main question is why is mY CCC not displaying options for overclocking.has sony intentionally made them unavailable and will installing the new CCC HELP.i know it is a lot of questions but someone help me

Well like I said that's usually how it goes. They might lock it for all Mobility Radeons for all I know. What I do know is that if they don't want to officially support overclocking your chip then the overdrive tab is absent by design.hey i have an ati mobility radeon hd 4650 and the ati overdrive feature is locked.but you are saying 4600 series cards are unlocked
