    Started noticing after the last bios update that my framerate has dropped. Opened up GPU-Z and noticed that I'm getting VRel and Pwr messages for PerfCap Reason. I saw in the AW17R4 threads with the overclocked 1080 vbios that the VRel message pops up as well.

    Anyone else seeing the VRel message showing up on their AW15's with the latest bios? Unfortunately I never looked before the bios update, but it's the only thing I can think of that has changed. While those messages are showing up, my GPU utilization is only 47%. CPU util is around 33%.

    Any ideas?
