The only drivers that working perfectly without any throttling are the 352 from here. Anyone know how to avoid throttling with the newer drivers? I have tried to clean with DDU and reinstall many times but every time throttling exists. I just tried out @J95 latest post on my M18XR2 and I'm not getting any throttling with the new driver , I'm also using SVL7's vbios (better temps for me) and its working!

I keep reading about throttling yet I've never faced it myself with my 980m. I did get some throttling with my old 880m but that was solved by flashing to SLV's vbios. With the 980m, flashed to Prema's vbios, I have never faced throttling on any driver version.... How come others with practically the same setup as mine face severe throttling at time? Could it be hardware related, as in depend on the quality of the GPU itself? (ASIC?...) I had throttling very few times like it downclocks by 100Mhz on the core happens in Dota2 but Don't know what causes It, When I run BO3 after that throttle it doesn't but sometimes the GPU throttles like spikes happens very rarely though no Optimus only PEG, I guess It's the drivers because nvidia's borking things up at an alarming rate. OT : My Alienware 17 is affected by some LVDS cable or MoBo fault too...old 860M fried unknown cause (cracked at the core's vertex) all things are breaking makes me gripe...

Gor3 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Hello all! Fresh meat <------ I've been using driver 353 with minimal throttling, but just a few days ago the mouse started freezing every 2 seconds on cold boot. I checked event viewer and it showed the culprit was the Nvidia driver. Before finding out the reason, I did try several ways to fix the problem, such as reinstalling touchpad drivers, disabling the power saving feature on the usb hub root. As mentioned above everything happened on cold boot. After a few restarts the problem was gone. Again, after checking event viewer I noticed the nvidia driver was the problem all along. I decided to uninstall doing the following method (per J95's post): -Booted into safe mode using DDU -Did following command in CMD bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy -used DDU to clean drivers and shut down -F8 did nothing to try to disabled driver signature -Booted into desktop and used advance startup to disable driver siganture -Booted back into desktop and extracted drivers 365.72 leaving only the folders J95 instruted to leave in his post -Replaced files nv_dispi.inf_v364.72_Win7_8.1_PEG_Dedicated.zip -Ran setup and driver failed -Repeated and same problem I did flash Premas V2's vBios before trying to upgrade drivers. Specs: Alienware M18x R2 GPU: 980m SLI CPU: 3920xm RAM: 32gb SSD: Sandisk Extreme Pro Thanks in advance!

I played a few games and had no throttling! I formatted this morning and did a clean install and everything has worked so far. All drivers installed, I've gotten no crashes, no BSOD and more importantly NO THROTTLING. I played a few rounds of Bf4, DoTA2, and some GTAv and my fps stayed consistent at all times...

Geejign Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hi guys, need your help regarding my newly installed GTX 980m. Here are my specs: Alienware 17 R1 120hz 16gb RAM GTX 980m 8gb Windows 10 Home 64 Bit Driver 364.72 Installation went well and since I can't download modded infs yet I decided to follow a guide that changes the Hardware IDs in the nvcv and nvdm infs. The drivers installed properly but when I try to bench on games and play games the core clock of the 980m stays at 301Mhz. The guy I got the card from said that the vbios was flashed with the latest prema vbios, though I don't have any comparison, the clocks in GPU-z reads 1203 GPU clock and 1253 Memory, Boost is also at 1203. The memory clocks as stated in GPU-z but the highest GPU clock i get is only 301 Mhz resulting in frames lesser than those of my previous 780m. Can this be related to a wrong inf modding or should i re flash the vbios of the card? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarky321 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 ^ this is the result i get when i use anything newer than 353.00...it goes from 300 to 400 to 500 to 1000 ..its a throttling mess have you tried the 353.00 yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geejign Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Not yet. I'll give those drivers a try. The problem with mine is that it doesn't even go higher than 301Mhz even though GPU-z and Nvidia Inspector shows that the card has a higher core clock. I tried flashing the card with Prema's v2 mod from his website but the clocks became lower. GPU-z reads the clock at 540Mhz but in-game the clock only goes up to 282Mhz.

anarky321 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 my card gets stuck at 135mhz on a daily basis, i either click "defaults" in inspector or restart pc im sure its just a software issue id highy recommend reflashing prema v2 and putting on 353.xx for starters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
