    For now I would run the stock vbios, the modified ones really are for advanced users.

    It's seen we have to rollback the Prema Mod v1, but I can't find the link of download. I wish ZeroX03 could tell us what he has done, because the moderator sent him a mod that it worked with his machine. I have the exactly the same machine.

    Pls, If someone knows what do you, tell us! Thanks!

    Upgrading the BIOs to anything above 1.03.03TCP will cause the FPS drops you are experiencing. I was sent a custom Premamod BIOs that was based on that version. I'll forward you the link. Of course Prema takes no responsibility if anything were to go wrong.

    I contacted Sager technical support and they sent me a stock bios but the problem still happens. Did you solve your problem? Pls send this version so I can test. My email is [email protected]

    I appreciate your help! :)

    MB Series: P15SM-A/SM1-A
    BIOS Version: 1.05.01 LSi
    KBC/EC Firmware Revision: 1.05.01

    That is the latest bios sager sent me. Maybe need I ask for an older version?

    What version is the one linked here based off of? https://biosmods.wordpress.com/p157sm-a/

    Why is there a 1.05 if it causes FPS drops? Is there anything good in the 1.05, and is there any way for Prema to fix the FPS drops in 1.05?

    I've no idea, Prema gave me a BIOs based off 1.03.03TCP and it works flawlessly. Clevo broke the 800 series cards with the later BIOs updates.

    Running msi afterburner with its fps chart over time is also useful.

    I'm back with excellent news. All I have to say is thank you for who supported me, and they are prema and zerox03. They sent me a version of bios that is fixed the fps drop. The games are running smooth now without fps and clocks drops even with v-sync on or off. The Prema Mod v1 solved, just it.

    Here is the video that I've made after upgrade to a 157SM-A Prema Mod v1:


    If someone is having this problem after upgrade the bios, just rollback to this version.

    Thank you all!!! :)

    You cannot rollback to the version I sent you as I don't think Prema has it listed on his website. Please PM me if you require it. I'll message Prema soon.

    Well, I've upgraded the version that you you sent to me and It fixed the problem. For me it's a rollback cause the stock bios that I had before was 1.05 and now it's 1.03

    Is that his v1 or v2 BIOS? I'm using his v2 BIOS atm (the one I linked, the one that is on his website).

    The v2 is based off the later revisions so it'll cause issues. I'll PM you with the older Prema BIOs that will fix any issues relating to 800 series cards.

    Hello ZeroX, i have a Clevo P151SM-A with the Premamod V2 bios and a GTX870 and the same shuttering problem than the other users, do you have an earlier bios to downgrade my computer and fix it? Sorry for my english.

    Thanks.
