First of all, you don't really want to overclock a laptop graphics card, I don't even think the 8850M will let you overclock it. Overclocking is not for people who don't understand exactly what thy're doing.

Second, the card won't be at its max clock of 725 unless it's under a very heavy load. The clock rates scale down and up along with the demands of your computer, so what you see is fairly normal.

If you really want to see if your card will go up to 725, download some benchmarking or stress-testing software and see what it's capable of.

laptops are generally not designed to be high end and pushed to limits. they can be confused into running beyond their parameters. however they are made to run fine at what they are defaulted at. most laptops use a feature which utilizes both the onboard video and "discreet" at the same time and or swapping between the two as "IT" sees fit. you are probably having the onboard gpu take some of the load of the AMD and vice versa so never fully maxing out either. you can change a setting in nvidia carded laptops to manage 3d on discreet and physx on the onboard. you will have to find the amd equivilent, and be able to access it with in Dell's Bloat. But even changing these setting will offer little performance if any and more than likely give you a less than desired experience. of course this answer is my personal opinion and experience. i turn it over to anyone with better experience on laptops and m series cards.

an overclock of 1% will not do much of anything for your laptops performance, and like trezero said the system is designed to run comfortably the way it is. If you try and overclock it you will automatically void your warranty and possibly damage your components
