Good news. Everyone is waiting to see some stock benchmark on that most powerfull 150W 3080. PLease post some Timespy results when you have a chance.
Please uses this settings when benching:
-Windows powerplan: Max performance
-Nvidia 3d settings power option: Max performance
- Disable G-sync (if you have it)
.Fan speed in AWCC at Full speed
CPU and GPU stock settings.
That should give you the best stock performance results.

Great scores! Could you please try a TimeSpy in the balance profile in AWCC and give your opinion regarding the fans. I know that in the previous models they had a very high pitch noise. Currently I'm testing the GE76 which has similar scores and very quite fans.

Those results are on par with the best 3080 150+watts we saw so far. Best graphic score recorded for this benchmark is 13691 (yesterday). You could maybe increase your score with more aggressive overclock.
I have made a comparaison with my system, area 51Mr2 with 2080S last year.
On both benchmark you Graphics performed 11.5% better then last year most powerfull Alienware laptop GPU card.
Stock 3080: 12550 + 11.6%
Stock 2080s: 11246
+125 core +400 memory
3080: 13139 +11.4%
2080S: 11798
It would be nice if you could let us know the TGP (Thermal graphic power) and the dynamic boost when you have more time.
Thank you sir.Last edited: Feb 11, 2021 -
I just did test in balance mode gpu score was 12723 stock so it was higher then the pro finance profile !??

I’m doing a retest with OC on balance
So gpu score was 13092 on balanceLast edited: Feb 11, 2021Normimb likes this. -

Ooh it's nice to see some benchmarks from the new m17 R4! Idk if I'm going to go with AW but it's nice to get a reference point

Laptop have lost 50% over desktop and now since they all going thin, and thinner, they are going to run hot, and hotter on top of that. Or they run cool and cooler with TCC offset....great -

Dell is having a Presidents Day sale but I'm not sure I want to take the AW plunge considering the control issues Dell has with their softwarePvtJoker347 and Normimb like this. -
I just applied LM to the CPU and GPU let’s see how it turns out .. not sure if sore will be any better

I will say I’m not that impressed with the laptop over my old 2080s but I’ll prob keep it Because I already sold my Rtx 3090 FELast edited: Feb 12, 2021Normimb likes this. -
How many 3.0 pci-e lanes going to the 3080? Curious if people might see some uptick when 4.0 comes to next gen chips which for M series would be Tiger Lake. I know on the desktop they really only saw 5-8% if I recall uptick from 4.0, but in a normally more restrictive laptop environment it might give a bit more, or not, hard to say. But knowing what you've got there gives a reference.

Do you have any idea on the maximum wattage of the GPU during gaming or benchmark? Apparently Nvidia driver is not reliable to report real TPG of the new card so i was thinking HWinfo max wattage would give us a better idea of max TGP. -
LM doesn't provide much benefit over regular pastes on the gpu, maximally 1-2C better in my testing. On large gpu dies its not worth using LM though since it pools up quickly leaving dry spots in some areas affecting thermals.JCordero31 and Normimb like this. -
Has any one seen or know what this issue is .. when I play games on my external display it’s looks all messed up I have to FN-F7 in to optimus for it to be correct .
https://imgur.com/a/CT9TbQe
turns out it’s doing it both modes. Any advise -
150W + (DB 2.0 10W or 15W). -
Does Fn + F7 still work on the Gsync panels ? Is there a noticeable improvement in battery life by doing this ? Does anyone have any idea ?
-
I don’t have an issue with my external monitor going out a lot .. -
Just got my m17r4. All results are overclocked and stable.

FYI: Fn plus F7 does nothing on my Gsync 360 display equipped machine. -
Yep, can't touch MSI GE76 with 3200MHz RAM.

Does the ram help a lot ?

Seriously Papasan, there is no excuse, thin or not, for soldering wifi chips, for which standards evolve every 2-3 years for a stupid $25 card and soldered RAM is equally ridiculous in an enthusiast device. I love photos of ultra thin devices with plenty of space for slotted ram, slotted wifi (this one in Dell's own line!) to show just how insane AW is being about this. Half the enthusiasts in this forum likely change out Killer cards for basic Intel varieties just to avoid those crazy driver problems. /sigh Your pic and my 1000 words!

FXi,
Agreed, but even worse is using soldered RAM. I can't believe that a gaming laptop like Alienware would ever even consider that.
I have another Area-51M R2 that should be coming next this week. This is the 3rd one. If something is wrong with this one, I'm ordering the GE76 MSI.

Also you should take a look at the average temperatures in benchmark like TimeSpy and FireStrike. You will notice that the DTR area 51m, Clevo, GT75 200W RTX card run much cooler (58C) as opposed to the RTX3080 overclocked running basic benchmark at 68-77c. This will certainly translate in FPS drop while gaming when the GPU will go in thermal trottling mode.Last edited: Feb 15, 2021etern4l likes this. -
Hey Norm,
Yea I personally don't like the 30 series cards. I can't help but think the benchmarks add to the numbers because they are a newer card.
The Area-51M R2 operates at 200w and has the desktop CPU, so I don't see any way the MSI could get close to it. The one I have coming is configured with the I9 10900K and the 2080 Super.
Cooling is excellent and has been on all of the previous ones.

Edit: Only MSI GE76 have better cooling (58C to 68C) .Last edited: Feb 15, 2021Papusan likes this. -

Getting excited about the new toy. Mine has been in production for about a week. I will be getting a USB-C dock with 100W PD and a stand or cooler. Does anyone here have a recommendation on either of those for the rig? I am happy to bench and test anything including UV/OC ETC. I bought this thing to push it, so i want to see what she can do.
Spec that i landed on
10980HK
RTX 3080
360Hz screen -- I chickened out on the 4k. All my externals are 4k so that will be fine. I like the idea of not having to set a frame cap ever. Happy to push this thing and OC to the max. I wish there was a LM option. I bought my last Razer from HID and LM has been awesome.Last edited: Feb 19, 2021OCTINY and PvtJoker347 like this. -
I’m excited about receiving my system as well, I should receive it in less than a week. Mine was in production for 5 days and last night I received an email that my build is complete and in transit to a shipping center. The status still shows in production, but I think it remains in that status until it arrives from China (location where the systems are manufactured). I stayed with 4K but I will down sample as needed. But I understand the attractiveness in 1080p for high frame rates and not being forced to lower the settings. -

Hello,
Can i see a gpu-z screen from m17r4 of someone has the laptop and what tdp is GPU (150w)?
Thanks -

3080 in the M17 R4 is a beast when pushed, even at 150w+15w. Not bad against stock desktop 3070's.
Can't wait to get mine.
And FYI, 3000 series in general all drop hard on the 2nd test, percentage wise. Be it desktop or mobile, hot temps or not. Just the nature of the architecture w/ Timespy.Last edited: Feb 23, 2021FXi likes this.
