Was wating for that one !

 

Has anyone checked if overclock is still unlocked?

 

Yes, OC still unlocked.

 

There is one report so far of a 2015 Alienware that can't overclock but it isn't clear what the situation is since they haven't posted again. It was unlocked on my machine but I have Prema's vbios. It wouldn't surprise me at all if nVidia forgot to merge the driver override of the vbios OC disable bit into this driver. Need people with locked vbioses to check.

 

Yes, I saw that. Would be interesting to hear from more people with stock vbios, locked and unlocked.
HT are you on Premas too?

 

With this drivers, my GPU clock shows always 324mhz usage, no matter what is my laptop doing. Also I have a bug with my 780m when I try to play GTA V. At launch, I must disable the GPU on control panel and once Rockstar Social Club logins, I activate GPU again so the game launch using it. Has anyone this problem with another mobile GPU?

 

Yes I'm having the same problem with my GT 540M - have to disable NVIDIA drivers when I launch the game and then re-enable them.

 

I have this same issue

I have this exact same issue with my GTX 970m. > : (

What a pain. I really despise Optimus and just want to buy a laptop with only Nvidia graphics, not the Intel integrated graphics which always causes trouble in some games with the switching and all that crud.

 

I am on 980M and cannot OC core clock for memory is alright....

 

Sorry to hear this. You must have a locked vBIOS.

 

I haven't used any GTA 5 ready drives and performance is great on the 680M. Perhaps I won't change the driver. If it ain't broke why fix it right!

Rahul you ought to get yourself a M15x with a 970M and 920xm No igpu means you never have optimus headaches.

 

It should be the responsibility of the developers to code their games properly to work with Optimus, as 99% already do. Once again Rockstar have shown gross incompetence with the PC platform, just in a different form to last time.

Dragon Age Inquisition has a bug that prevents fullscreen from being used on Optimus machines, which is ridiculous as again, 99% of devs have shown that it's not hard to get it right. Despite thousands reporting the issue to EA in the supposed 'support thread' they have done nothing, hiding behind the fact that the system requirements don't specifically contain laptop components.

There is nothing wrong with Optimus hardware. Nothing at all. This is proven by the countless games and software packages that work without any problems. Then those 1% of incompetent devs don't bother to do whatever little is necessary to ensure compatibility and it all comes crashing down.

I do not blame NVIDIA for Optimus. Its purpose is sound: to extend battery life. I blame developers who do not care enough about the PC platform to code their games properly to be compatible. Mistakes happen, but when they neglect to fix the problem then shame on them.

 

Developers should not have to account for every problem. Optimus and Enduro are GPU technologies and their support should be fully ensured by nVidia and AMD respectively through driver updates. I am all for holding developers accountable but nVidia is the one at fault, its their broken tech at the end of the day that makes everyone's lives miserable.

 

Developers should have to adhere to guidelines and common hardware technologies. How are Nvidia and AMD supposed to fix something that's broken in the game code? I agree with Cakefish that these issues are a result of the game and likely not following guidelines for Optimus or AMD's switchable. They can only do so much on the driver level. How do you explain that it works on 99% of other games and not on the odd 1% like Cakefish notes. I can't tell you of any other game that requires manual disabling of the dedicated GPU to get a game to run.

 

It's not a driver issue though. It's not a hardware issue. How could it be when 99% of games ever released work fine? And though I just pulled that figure out of thin air, I do not believe it to be hyperbole. If it were an issue with the drivers themselves, I'd expect many more games to have some sort of compatibility problem.

The response I've always seen from the PR departments of games that fall prey to this kind of problem is falling back on that wonderful little escape clause they all have in their minimum requirements. You know the one. The one which goes like: 'Laptop versions of these cards may work but are NOT officially supported'. They don't ever claim that 'oh it's NVIDIA's fault, talk to them'. They always just fall back on the 'we don't support laptops anyway' mantra, if they ever bother to respond at all.

As PC gamers, we like to moan whenever a developer neglects to implement a FOV slider in a FPS, or rebindable keys, or an option to disable mouse acceleration, or gamepad support etc. because of the intricacies, variety and complexity of the hardware we use. By that same notion, should we not have the right to bemoan when developers manage to **** up something that works just fine for the majority? I think we should. I think it's cowardly when they hide behind their 'laptops were never supported to begin with' disclaimers.

 

You both make excellent points but I think the "not made for laptops" mantra is going to be a problem that comes up more and more as they get thinner, lighter, and more "efficient."

Those very issues that you pointed out about games are exactly why I prefer consoles these days. They may have poor graphics but at least you know what you're getting.

Such a sad state the gaming industry is in...

 

Not that it helps those with issues, but I've run it since launch day on my Optimus system without a single hiccup. I run the Steam version, not sure if that matters at all?

I can't think of a single game that was broken by Optimus that I've tried, so hard to fault the tech.
