Overclock Radeon R7 M260

[bangfortheback]

I have a Toshiba L50-B laptop with Intel Core i5 4210u processor and AMD Radeon R7 M260. I tried overclocking using MSI Afterburner but the values are already maxed out. I even tried turning enableulps to 0, unofficialoverclockingmode to 1, and agreeing to unofficialoverclockingeula in msiafterburner.cfg. However, it only made the core and memory slider unadjustable. I also tried Sapphire Trixx but the values doesn't change after applying. I have no Global Overdrive nor wattman on my radeon software version 18.5.1 adrenalin. Tried installing amd overdrive but it only made my windows 10 crash.

I know overclocking a laptop gpu is not worth it but I'm willing to take the risk of decreasing the life span of my laptop. Any other ideas?

it´s not worth it because you won´t get better performance even if you could overclock it which is not possible with this onboard graphics chip

You are trying to nitro-boost and power-tune a wheelbarrow; it wont work.

Won't it work? Vga bios limitation? Can I not flash a m360, m460, or radeon 530 bios in it? It is said that these gpus are rebadged m260. I also read somewhere that someone was able to with the same laptop as mine.

If you can find such a BIOS you can of course flash nearly any BIOS to it, but still won´t get more performance.

Don´t mix up desktop GPU chips and mobile chips.

I wasn't actually able to find one. I've been searching for days already. Isn't it really unoverclockable? Is there no other way? It's a waste if I won't be able to reach the performance of the newer Radeon 530 just by overclocking it.

The 530 seems to be using the same architecture but this alone doesn´t make a R7 M260 to a 530 only by overclocking or flashing the same BIOS to it.

If you find something, I would be very suprised but happy for you

I know this is a bit old but did you end up figuring something out?
I have the exact same card as you but in my care i just want to be able to change the fan speeds not overclock.
