    Ok guys I've got some trouble. my M14X R2 with 650M was throttling down in games recently so I used Nvidia Inspector to force it to state at a stable clock speed of 850 Mhz as opposed to changing as it used to. Yesterday I noticed that the clock speeds were messed up it they did not match what Nvidia Inspector said they should be, I had updated my drivers to 310.90 prior to so I rolled back to 310.70 to no avail, I eventually got it to go back to the 850 mhz I wanted by accessing my other user account and trying the commands there. The same thing happened today and this did not work.

    I have clean installed both 310.90 and 310.70 to no avail.

    Here is the screenshot of Nvidia Inspector, GPU-Z, and a command prompt with the commands used to force the power state

    edit: I know it's on P state 5, I used that one because 0 is just the overclock offsets, I do use 0 when gaming.

    Any help?

    I seem to have fixed it.. something must have messed up software wise with the auto-downclock feature when the laptop is running off of battery power. I unplugged the laptop and the clock jumped up to 405 Mhz the when I plugged it back in the clock jumped back up to the proper 745.2 Mhz default.. very weird.

    There's the jump from I think 101Mhz to 405 Mhz then to 745.2 Mhz
