Judging from your CPU temps everything should be fine. It is interesting though that your CPU actually maxes out (90% + utilization) in the regular graphics tests, but not in the actual CPU test.

Are you running the latest BIOS? If you have spare time, try re-installing Windows. As @Mr. Fox and me mentioned, the CPU score is ridiculously low. It should be 4x higher at least!

I'm running on original BIOS version for M17x R5 (A09), the latest one is A14. I will update the BIOS and try again

Dude, 2231 on physics score is like smartphone, Atom or AMD CPU material... way beyond pathetic. (OK, the AMD part is just a jab because they suck so bad at making CPUs.)

You need to fix that first, then, and only then, start thinking about GPU performance. That is SO LOW your GPU probably cannot work right. Something is very seriously wrong with the behavior of your CPU. Try re-flashing the BIOS and/or resetting BIOS defaults, because something is horribly wrong.

I didn't do anything with my CPU but enable Turbo boost in bios, i just flash vbios and install your moded driver.

Your GPU tems are on the high side, in the 90's at times. But interesting that when it throttles, the GPU temp is fine. The problem should be the CPU, and in the CPU-Z.txt I can not read utilization/temps for the time period as in the GPU-Z log. Can you upload an MSI afterburner log which includes CPU values during the 3dmark run?

Edit: Anyway I strongly recommend you to clean your fans and repaste the GPU with quality thermal compound for sure. The healthy limit for GPU temps is around 80°C.

Here it is

Your CPU score is crazy low. Can you show us a CPU-Z log or MSI Afterburner log that includes CPU temps and utilization?

Hi, this is latest log for CPU and GPU, please have look.

Mine goes as low as yours does. I don't know how to fix it. It has the same behavior with all vBIOS and all drivers except 345.20 and older.

Mine does this the same as yours...

The best suggestion I have is to try my driver mod here: Mr. Fox's GeForce 345.20 Desktop Driver Mod for Alienware and Clevo Mobile GPUs | NotebookReview

It's the only driver I use with 780M any more. Until NVIDIA fixes it, this will remain broken.

I was installing success your driver, this is new log of GPU-z. Could you please have look?

No, you just have to add your GPU ID to the inf file, as he explains in the thread.

I through he has already set up for Alienware

I'm trying to do following your guide in that topic, but i got this error when i was installing the driver. This is not the first time, do you think my VGA is broken?

@buonca - I'm not sure at this point what to recommend. I haven't been able to fix that problem with three different machines I have with GTX 780M. It makes me really sad, and I know how you feel because I have the same unresolved issue. This is a driver problem that only NVIDIA can fix as far as I know.

How severe is your throttling? How low does it go? How are your NVIDIA Control Panel settings? Make sure it is not set to "Adaptive" performance and you need to choose, not "Let the application decide" and that may help.

I think my VGA sucks . Could you please give me some trick to test new VGA (gtx 780m, i think i have to buy new one)?

Hey bud. Saw your message in the shout box.

Before burning any more calories on this, the driver is likely your problem. Try dropping back to 345.20 or an older driver from Dec, Jan or Feb and see if the thing runs right. I have three systems with GTX 780M and all of them have essentially been rendered worthless by NVIDIA cancer drivers. If I run anything newer than 345.20 they all throttle like there is no tomorrow.

Let us know if older drivers correct the problem. If so, you can join the "screwed by the Jolly Green Giant" club for 780M owners. If it still has the problem with drivers that old, something else is going on that will need to be explored.

Hi Mr.Fox,

Thanks for your response. I was dealing with couple issues when removing and installing elder driver (311.48) which from my resource DVD.

But unfortunately, the issue is not resolved .

Could you please give me another advice?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I'm using AW M17x R5 and i got throttling (when gaming and benchmark) with Gtx 780m even flashed vbios with this guide:

Unlocked NVIDIA GTX 780M VBIOS

This is my benchmark result (3dmark11)

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Alienware 068R5X

and GPU-Z log

I already plugin the charge, set high performance and update latest driver but no luck.

Could you please help me

Thank you
