*** Official Clevo P870DM2/P870DM3 (Sager NP9873/NP9872) Owner's Lounge! - The Phoenix 2 is here! **

Definitely sounds like a GPU issue, especially if you don't see anything after POST time.

 

So I have the 1.05.04 EC but the problem is they didn't send me the full utility to do the flash with. Just 3 loose files and when I open them up it's missing the utility to flash with.

 

No problem bud, I posted instructions to you via PM.

 

what's the status on your laptop return / new order bro?

 

I'm sending my old one back on Monday and then I'll place my order with HIDevolution. I've been trying to help everyone here as much as I can. I NEED this monster in my life, hahaha.

BTW people, the guy you need to speak to about your OC help is this gentleman right here...Phoenix. I can't wait until we all get our beasts at the same time, I'm going to have fun competing against Phoenix and Mr. Fox. Let the best OC'er win.

 

and you know I got your back when you need help. We can connect together using TeamViewer and I'll show you some magical tricks which Mr. Fox taught me. I owe everything I know to this great person. Sometimes, a virtual friend is better than a real one

My virtual friends: Mr. Fox, Papusan the Snow Man, TBoneSan, Bloodhawk, Prema, Johnkssssssssss , Rage Set, Trafficante, hmscott, GTV EVO, birocuafly, and anyone with an EVOC taptop

PS: If I missed anyone's name, you know who you are and you are all my buddies and would always get my support

 

It looks like next time around I'm going to have to get my clevo from HIDevolution to be on A) Prema and B) your digital friend list.... :-(

 

I always thought you did have an EVOC, LOL. I keep asking you everytime I see your username "what laptop do you have" because you don't have it in your sig.

Please sell your laptop and join us on the EVOC bandwagon

 

I'm going to stick with LPC digital for now. They've been very helpful with my laptop and all my incessant phone calling. I hope we can still be friends though .....

 

Nice so you are now able to undervolt the GPU some? Where did you download it from I didn't see a list for beta downloads on there website?

 

Nice, My fans do not seem to be adjusting in automatic mode. There must be something that is interfering with them ramping up and working correct in automatic mode.

 

you should be on top of that list bro. sorry, please excuse my memory. edited now

 

It is an odd issue, firmware may fix it.

 

Which firmware are you referring to?

 

BIOS/EC, updating at all may fix it, a fan table might not be quite right. Contact your reseller's support for some files.

 

Thanks Meaker I have emailed sager on the issue.

 

Is it worth it to uninstall control center and reinstall it?

 

very nice community here @Phoenix @Mr.Fox @Jonkss and so on guys, I can say it definitely.. I went for the evoc team too last week and I'm very happy for now but I want to remember also the guys at sager/eurocom which imo are also on the edge likewise the evoc guys.. we'll meet again I'm sure, now in our team I'm proud to have the chance to count also the hid guys. Cmon the ride then

ps: @bro Phoenix sorry haven't yet updated the sig

 

You can give that a go.

 

welcome to the EVOC bandwagon bro. Brace yourself! the ride is going to be bumpy and fun

 

Any reviews of the 1440p screen yet?

 

@Larry@LPC-Digital

Since Larry has been helpful to me in the past and showed me the best customer service even though I am not his customer. I will treat you like an EVOC member and will give you all the support I can. PM sent

I highly recommend and support LPC Digital

 

I sure hope im in there even if im at the bottom of the list just dangling lol I know im just a taole compared you bull frogs in here. Just got home from taking my family to the circus, this day is gone. Tomorrow i need to do a brake job on my jeep plus a mile long honey do list. Here I thought id get some laptop time in, Negative. Trying to resurrect my desktop so i can download off of @ Pheniox wonderful update list, to install on ma laptop. Im moving so slow i think im going backwards

 

@Meaker@Sager - did you guys cherry pick the heatsink for Linus tech tips' review sample of the DM3?

 

Not to my knowledge.

 

There is actually, on the review of the Aorus http://www.notebookcheck.net/Aorus-X7-v6-Notebook-Review.182897.0.html

 

I ordered my P870DM3 last week from HIDevolution, looking forward to it coming in!

I got the Samsung 960 Evo m.2, so I'm hoping it comes with the Watchdogs 2 download offer:

Might call them tomorrow and double check

 

Can anyone with the 3K screen please test Rise of the Tomb Raider ? I found this game to be buggy with the fullHD LG SPF1 screen. The bug is that if it is running in DX12 mode+G-Sync is active, I get super smooth image, however on the edges of the textures in the bacground I can spot an after image when turning the camera. in DX11 there is no afterimage, but the image is not as smooth than in DX12. it seems to me that G-Sync does a better job in the game when it is running in DX12, but introduces an afterimage on the edges.

in short:
DX11+G-Sync=ok
DX12+G-Sync=afterimage (but really smooth)
DX11/DX12+no G-Sync=stutter (but no afterimage)

This bug can be captured with ShadowPlay so its on the software level, its as if the NVidia driver had a bug when it renders the image in DX12+uses G-Sync at the same time for the built in 60hz screen. (No afterimage if G-Sync+DX12 is used with an external 144 Hz G-Sync monitor)

Can anyone please check if this persists with the 3K AUO display too? I had this same bug with the P775DM1-G, which had a GTX 980, so it is 100% that its not the GPU's fault. However the previous laptop had this same SPF1 fullHD screen too, so it must be something related to the screen. It seems to me a bug when the GPU renders the game in DX12, but also needs to sync the 60 Hz LG SPF1 display for G-Sync.

I want to use DX12 because in a few places it gives 15-20 more FPS, however this afterimage makes it very annoying when using G-Sync ...

 

This happens on my acer z35 when I run 200hz with gsync on. It is noticeable on some game s with very dark area. I notice more on Call of Duty 2 when grenades are on the ground. I think the gtg or btb response is a little slow in response to the panel speed/hz.

 

Yes, I do occasionally get the fans ramp up for a split second or two, but thankfully they never stay ramped up whether I'm on the "overclock" fan profile, or "automatic" fan profile in CC

During my nOOb overclocking attempts the past couple days, I definitely noticed this same behavior... I could run wPrime which taxes only the CPU and have absolutely zero throttling and all cores stick at 4.6GHz. And without changing any settings try to run a Fire Strike benchmark & it would occasionally throttle down to 3.9-4.1GHz.

The throttling definitely held me back! Did some tweaking with BIOS/XTU and got my FireStrike score up from 15,098 to 17,995. It still has some throttling though, probably need to try a different BIOS/EC version I guess.

Some things I think may have helped me with the throttling was disabling G-Sync, as well as disconnecting my 2nd monitor. I also closed HWInfo64 while it was benching... Although I didn't like not being able to watch the temps while it was benching. Thankfully both CPU/GPU stayed under 70*C then entire time!

 

Well the 3k panel has better b2b so thats why I am wondering...

 

Just dont update to 3.75.70 driver. Makes gsync go away on 3k screen

 

So far the latest Clevo driver seems the best.

 

Latest Clevo Driver uploaded: nVIDIA GeForce Driver v21.21.13.6956

 

Yes, im finally back in business. There have been glitches with the screen since I got it though.
Like in game menus the screen flickers and blacks out for a second. When origin is loaded up..the sign in screen does the same.
If I start DDU, the first screen causes immense slow down of the mouse and the whole system can freeze up. This happens everytime consistently but not on my X34 and not on my old 4k auo.
In game the screen is solid and browsing the web etc. Only gets wierd when a certain type of UI is on the screen.

 

Yes I meant that one
Fps is lower but overall games feel smoother.
A release notes would be nice, I am interested ehat tweaking did Clevo make. It is dated 2016.10.xx. so it definitely had some tweaking over the Nvidia released 369.xx drivers.

 

What I noticed is that they work best with out hardware, GSYNC and whatnot. Don't dream about release notes from Clevo. It took me 48 hours to download.

 

Looks great, I would say you are hitting the ceiling of the power restriction in the EC though just as you commented upon.

 

Thanks for the link.

Seems to be technically mediocre. That's disappointing.

 

I was disappointed aswell, I guess the responsiveness isn't so bad, within 0,4 ms of the black to white of the Chi Mei and 3 ms for grey to grey, though the Chi Mei has it beaten pretty badly everywhere else .

It is decent at best, for gaming it should be more than sufficient .

 

So this is the best driver to use as of now? My machine came with 373.06.

 

i found that driver giving me more fps. max 300fps in Overwatch before it was 287fps

 

For me I get an error with that driver saying 372.90 or greater is required when trying to launch BF1.

 

Anyone got any significant gpu temperature drops with undervolting the GTX1080 yet?

 

No one has undervolted one yet I believe.

 

I'm using what appears to be 375.76 (21.21.13.7576), updated using the "GeForce Experience" software... Seems to be working ok for me so far with Battlefield 1, as well as TimeSpy/FireStrike Benchmarking

 

Thanks, Ill give it a try.

 

@ Ictalley0109. Install Afterburner and try it.

I did but it was locked.

 

Some gameplay video capture using the GeForce Experience on Battlefield 1. Video settings to 2560x1440@120Hz (although GeForce experience only record @60fps) all ULTRA settings. Wish it had shown the FPS in the upper right like it does while playing, but it was pretty much always above 60fps often going over 100. Just don't pay attention to my actual gaming, it's not that good... haha
