Title: Nvidia disables overclocking for 900M series graphics cards with a driver update
Post by: Redaktion on February 16, 2015, 17:43:15
It's not a feature, it's a bug: Nvidia claims that laptop graphics "were not designed" for overclocking and that it's "safeguarding" users' systems rather than taking features away from them.

Just correcting you.
Maxwell 860M and 950M are in the OC lock list too.
And the first driver with lock is 347.09, not 344-series.
