Kesteral Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hi there,I have recently bought a Clevo P650SG which comes with a GTX980M 4GB DDR5 GPU and I’m pretty happy with it but I’m concerned with the GPU performance.I’ve been testing this against a Gigabyte P35W-V4 that I also have which has a GTX970M with 6GB DDR5 ram.Both have 8gb of ram and an i7-5700.Using 3DMark I was able to achieve a score of 9800 with the Clevo laptop, and 8100 with the Gigabyte. There is a reasonable difference here, however in games the performance is negligible.Playing the Witcher 3 on ultra I got about a 2-3 FPS difference when I was expecting a little more.In Ark: Survival Evolved (I’m aware it’s not been optimised fully) on ultra I am still only getting about 20 FPS, the same as I got with the 970M. This is the most disappointing as it’s unplayable using the 970M and was hoping the 980M would solve it.Virtually identical FPS in Batman: Arkham Knight.I understand the 970M is a decent card but I was expecting to see a reasonable GPU boost with the 980M. So far I’ve not really seen that apart from on 3DMark.So the question is is my GTX980M getting throttled? How would I be able to find this out?Also, my GPU is running about 80-82 C while playing games. That seems quite hot, could this be affecting performance? However this temperature is no different from the Gigabyte that seems to be matching the Clevo's peformance.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2ultima Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 CPU limited in Witcher.Ark is stupidArkham Knight is a wild card.Try other games? Watch your clockspeeds in game (log them with GPU-Z)? See how things work out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
