    hey guys I have a problem. the laptop I'm using is clevo p957hp6 (i7-7820hk gtx 1060). couple weeks ago when I received laptop I could overclock and gpu held it's boost without downclocking even if it was hitting power limit, at that time I was getting 14200 graphics score in firestrike test, now I can't get higher 12900, no idea what happened but now my gpu can't even hold it's turbo clock, it downclocks from 1600 when I used to maintain 1850 no problem in benchmark. Temperatures are not the problem, after hour of furmark I'm hitting ~72 C degree temperature but gpu starts furmark instantly with only 1400 mhz core clock, I've repasted but it has no effect. Temperatures in firestrike is 61 max, in unigine heaven 64 C , I can maintain higher core clock but only by downclocking gpu memory and it still performs worse and doesn't maintain full speed. Previously gpu maintained ~1800 core clock with memory overclock when hitting power limit, but now it even can't hold 1600 under full usage.
    I don't think temps are to blame, any ideas?

    Previously with the same overclock I was always hitting 14200-14500 in graphics, now only 13k.

    Why does it say invalid score? Klick on the "?"

    because it's a cracked version. "?" doesn't do anything. it's same with other benchmarks too, I used to get 1750 in unigine heaven, now I only get 1600 it's like gpu started using power less efficiently or I don't even know why it happened.

    Even cracked versions should not have that message. It seems you have some NVIDIA control panel setting that interferes with 3dmark and possibly other benchmarking tools.

    Don't think so. It tells about registration key when I click on "?". Tried with default nvidia drivers which came with windows10, tried uninstalling nvidia drivers with DDU same result. different power management profiles all the same.

    This sounds silly but have you removed all Nvidia drivers then reinstall updated drivers ( NOT BATA use official release )

    Because the latest BATA Drivers are often not recognized by 3DMark.. try going back to the drivers off Clevos page the official release..but do a full uninstall of all Nvidia drivers 1st
