I use MSI Afterburner to overclock my 560M to its max stable clocks (885/1750/1600). Pushed my WEI 2D and 3D graphics scores both to 7.4 (from 7.2 at stock). Its really easy to operate: just nudge up your cards speed incrementally, and test with the suite of graphics tests in Passmark PerformanceTest (www.cpubenchmark.net). Keep nudging upwards until the tests fail and the NVIDIA driver stops responding and resets. Then you've got your max stable clocks.

Core Voltage, Power Limit, and Fan Speed are locked due to the video card.

You only need to adjust core and memory clock to get more performance out of your card.

Stock speed I scored 2197 in 3DMark11.
OC'd using MSI Afterburner(core - 900/memory - 1625) I scored 2600. Not a bad overall increase. Running version 2.2.1

The laptop I have is a G74SX-BBK11.
