Alienware m17x R4 - 1070 - Almost Successfull!

[Ellisdee]

Hello,

 

Another one here that put a 1070 in my m17x R4.

 

I followed this guide: 

 

I believe the issue I have is GPU Throttling. The GFX card is recognised OK in BIOS, even if I run hwinfo or GPUZ then I can see the card recognised with my modified inf file.

 

 

I have already checked that my adapter warning is disabled in BIOS as per previous instructions.

 

The problem I have is my 3d mark score is around 7200. 

 

 

If someone is able to help me resolve this issue or point me in the direction where the issue may lay I would be very grateful.

 

Please let me know what information you would need to help me resolve this issue.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

 

As an update, over the past couple of days I have done the following:

 

Re-flash my BIOS

Dismantled the card/cooling bracket & reconnected & reseated in the GFX slot.  

Ran DDU & then re-installed nVidia Drivers

Reset Windows 10.

 

I am still unable to get any higher than around 7000 on my 3d mark score & I'm at a loss.

 

Any help appreciated. 

 

 

Thanks,

So I put my 770M back into the laptop & ran the same 3d mark test & got the following result:

 

At this point as Im really not sure what can be causing this.  If anyone reads this & has any ideas please let me know.

 

 

Thanks,!

I get 12k w the same setup. Did you download the Intel Extreme Tuning tool and check the current setting? Sometimes that gets set to like 30A cap instead of needed 112A.

Thanks for the update, as I got no response and I could not resolve the issue I sold the 1070 & went back to a 770.
