    Hi.

    I'm having a big problem with my 980M as it doesn't want to work at full speed. I installed Prema Vbios for the 980M and also latest Bios for the motherboard.

    When I start a game or 3dmark it goes to 600-700mhz instead of the 1038mhz.

    I'm using 350.12 nvidia driver.
    Clevo P170EM. 3740QM.

    Any help with this?

    Thank you

    Does it work with default vbios?

    Does it work in games? Is it just 3D mark that causes this behaviour? Have you tried 353.00 that came out recently?

    That happens to me when I boot on battery and plug in later, tried that?

    Max performance in Nvidia control panel?

    Performance mode in Clevo control center? (if you have it, fn+esc iirc)

    I have tried all this that you mentioned here... weird because when I bought the 980m it was working fine.

    Then flash it back to what it was. If you're getting worse performance with the new bios, why stick with it?

    I would flash svl7's vBIOS and as for drivers, do a clean install of drivers... That is most likely your problem.. Run DDU, then install NVIDIA drivers!
