Mr Firm

Hi There, I have a Alienware 17 from 2014 120hz 4940mx 32gb of ram, GTX 980m. I have found I have a MSI vBios on my 980m, being 84.04.49.00.29. I started looking into this once I noticed that the card is sustained maxing at 88w while gaming regardless of graphical setting. I have the core clock maxed(+135mhz) in MSI afterburner and +350mhz on the memory but don't see temps higher than 70c. Which makes me think I have a lot more headroom if the card allows it to pull more power. Would a vbios help with pushing the card further or am I basically stuck? I was otherwise going to swap to a 1070 here in the next couple of months but I haven't decided just yet. Kind of want to see how far this 980m can go. If a vbios would do the trick, would also need some guidance on acquiring one better suited for my needs if someone is willing to help me with this, that would be much appreciated. Thank you!
