Melifluonze Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I installed a K5000m in my Dell M6700 and things are weird. I saw a few emails about this, but nothing really answered the question.What happens is, I start the Nvidia Informer and I can see the clocks etc. I noticed that the state is P8, which I assume is a low power state, since I'm not doing anything.I can't change the memory clock at all, but the core clock I can change, but I doubt it does anything, because I can't get into the P0 state. Changing things in P8 makes no difference.I think the only way I can get into the P0 state is to plug the laptop in with a big power supply. It does not go into P0 on battery, even if I put the power mode into high.How do I get it into P0 in a way that I can test things? Can one force the GPU into P0 somehow?Why am I asking? Because when I'm on battery and I try to start a game, the game runs, but it's slow, lots of framing. If I pug in, and somehow get to P0, the thing rocks!!! And then it gets even better when I ramp up the clocks (reasonably).And, hey... if you know were a thread is that actually does discuss this, that'd be awesome!- M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclewebb Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Most laptops are not designed to run the GPU at full speed when running on battery power. Some laptops throttle both the CPU and GPU. If you find a way to run both the CPU and GPU at full speed while on battery power, you will likely damage your battery.From NotebookCheck -The power consumption of the Quadro K5000M is rated at 100 Watt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melifluonze Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yeah, I seem to have figured that out. That being said, is P8 somehow locked for the K5000m so that you can't change any of the clocks in that state?- M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
