It's working fine here...without bloatware unlike most AW owners (Dell/AW crappy software) '40-45 processes' not the best test scenario anyway. I'll mod next release. AW17/Optimus model requires specific entries or you will end w/ blank screens. Since throttling is not an issue...install latest drivers and avoid switching to Dedicated for the time being. Always check sections, Nvidia likes messing them up lately...

Run DDU "Clean & Shutdown" try different drivers, supported configuration so INF modding is not required. Try disabling IGP (HD4000)...if the issue still persists; report it here [url]https://forums.geforce.com/default/board/33/geforce-drivers/[/url] proper thread & main driver thread.

No problem, Batman AK or other games requesting latest drivers is not an issue anymore...trick... This will keep your 980Ms both Throttle proof and updated, until the vBIOS fix is released.

Please test CLEVO_8GB_GTX980M_OC_PM_v1.1.1 NV Inspector -> P0/P1 matching. GPU throttling w/ v1.1.1...then you will need to ask @Prema to link previous version 1.1 instead.
