Please set "MAX" VDDC reading and then take a screenshot of both ASIC & sensors readings. - - - Updated - - - @J95 , dont know if im doing it right, stock vbios with sli disable[ATTACH=CONFIG]15531[/ATTACH] *SLI Enabled* Try running 3dmark11 "Entry Level" for a few seconds to capture secondary GPU (ASIC 70.2%) VDDC reading. @tony7755333 ASIC 67.1% 1.062v http://forum.techinferno.com/nvidia/6307-%5Balienware%5D-aftermarket-upgrades-driver-support-modded-inf-42.html#post138539 ASIC 70.2% Thx.

Try a different driver and find one that runs well with ur system. (v353.06 peg mod works for me) Re fash your card with your stock vbios backup (might need to re flash a few times) And don't forget to use DDU in safe mode everytime you uninstall a GeForce driver. Hope it helps solve your issueTapatalking on Android Blisspop! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haXBOXpro Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thank you haXBOXpro,I'll try it.[emoji3] I would also recommend doing a power cycle to hopefully remove any "protection measure" locks currently on gpu. Seems likely if the system shut down suddenly! Tapatalking on Android Blisspop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo wing Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I got my 980M from Woodzstack. M17x R4 with 120hz screen. For almost two whole weeks I didn't have a single throttling issue with 352.84 Updated to windows 10 build 10166 + driver 353.17 didn't have any issues for three days. Today throttling came all of a sudden in games and benchmarks, the core clock + memory keeps going up and down. rolled back to 352.84 it appears to be better but I lost 8 FPS in performance. ************************************************ Installed 353.49 HF, here are the readings with Heaven benchmark 4.0 extreme. Obviously, perfcap shows "PWR" What I find strange is while doing the rendering test with 353.49 I have no throttling issues at all. The core + memory + GPU load = running @ 100% As soon as I do a benchmark or game it throttles like a b****!!! Also, when the core and memory speed throttles, GPU load goes up. *********************************************** (353.84) strange throttling occurred while playing witcher 3. The core clock is running @ 100% but the issue lies with the memory clock. If I switch back to the desktop (at idle) the memory returns to it's full speed as you can notice at the final seconds in the readings. Also the voltage is supposed to be running @ 1.030v instead it's 0.9180v. Cheers Faiz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcoder Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Does someone know why know my games are throttling? i was using slv7 vbios with any drivers on optimus, games never throttle. Now, after trying PremaMod Vbios, even with slv7 vbios, any drivers are throttling on gta5. My ssd just died so i lost my stock vbios. I don't know if the gpu start dying slowly or something is wrong. :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo wing Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 First, Thank you @J95 for all your effort, kudos to you. Tried 353.50 + build 10240 at first, performance was excellent! As soon as I restarted, throttling came back. What's bothering me is when I close the 3d app (game, bench...) the GPU speeds return to 100% (1038mhz core, 2505mhz memory) with no throttling.

jjbettcher Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 So are you guys using Prema vbios now? Looking at the version 1.1 released when I go to flash it, it's telling me that my cards ID 05AA doesn't match the intended card's ID. Haven't browsed these forums in a bit since I've been busy.

Darcoder Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Prema's site has a copy of the stock vbios that you can download.Sent from my HTC One using TapatalkNice to know thanks! But i discover the game gta5 throotle only when there are lots of cops.. but gpu clocks keep the same so it might be driver or games error. But sometimes, My laptop pop up a message my AC isnt compatible, i got 2 240W here both pop up this weird message sometimes. I got another 240W ac but its not with me. Also after 2-3 reboot, gpu is not recognized in device, i need to shut down the laptop. Otherwize everything is working good. I don't know if these error are related to the 980m or my aw 17 r1 starting dying.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariussx Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 By the way, I forgot to mention that I tested the latest drivers both in Optimus and Dedicated mode. 353.49 with @J95 modded inf files does not throttle in either mode.

DogOfWar Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hello, I've searched through this topic and I have a question. How can I find out what the latest modded driver for my graphics card is? I have a single 980m in an Alienware 18 right now. I have the 345.20 driver that I downloaded from a post that Mr. Fox posted. Any help on where to look would be greatly appreciated.

Also do you guys recommend running in Optimus or dedicated?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalkyou only need to overwrite one file, and only the file for the mode you wish to use - so if you want to use optimus then you must overwrite the nvcvi.inf, or if you want to be in dedicated mode or PEG mode then you must overwrite nv_dispf.inf.you can overwrite both but only the mode that the driver is being installed on will be used so if you installed in dedicated mode it will not install for optimus and vice versa. you have to install for the mode that is currently active.
