    Hey, just a question after reading a guide on flashing the vBios. I have a MSI GT70, and I seem to have problems with a simple driver OC. My GPU seems to throttle at about 68C-72C. My GPU load will drop from 99% to anywhere below 50%. I believe this is when the P1 state kicks in causing the voltage of my GPU to drop. Will flashing my vBios and changing the voltage of my P1 state to the default of my P0 state get rid of this drop? If this even makes sense, let me know. If that won't fix the throttling, do you mind pointing me to something that will? I can't even raise my clocks 5MHz before this throttling kicks in and it's quite annoying. I've checked just about everything (I think) even cleaned my fan.

    EDIT
    Nevermind; I was thinking of the wrong model and had posted a link for you to try RBE, but that's not meant for NVidia cards.

    I don't think you should need to flash your vBIOS, although changing your power state settings may help.
