Hey Guys,

 

I'm running an Alienware M18X R2 with the Swick modded bios along with 2 GTX 980M video cards on Windows 10 Pro.  I've noticed that my 3DMark scores seem very low for dual 8GB cards.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to possible sources/fixes for this issue?  I've been trying to install different modded drivers, vbios and tweaking BIOS settings to no avail.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Hi, I meet the same question. In NBR, Someone said you should change video setting to IGFX, then reboot, make sure everything loads, and then get into bios, change video setting to PEG, then reboot, it will solve throtting problem. Here is the thread I post.

Hello, dudes! I've successfully upgrade my laptop to 980M and install the newest driver. But when I played games like PUBG or Watchdog2, the GPU core clock is not stable at 1000+Mhz due to PerfCap Reason: Pwr. It makes my game experience very bad

Anyone could help me, thank you all!

Bios: stock A12
OS: win10 pro
GPU: Clevo 980M with original vbios
Display Driver: 390.77

The GPU performance during playing game:

A12 bios is suitable for M18 R2 with 980m, but sometime I notice throttling problem, Unlocked A11 bios solve this problem.
