    I bought a new Dell 7559 with GTX 960M and am getting stuttering after gaming for a while. Not temp related but GPU-Z reports it under Perf Cap as VRel and VOp and its occurring for fairly long blocks of time while I am gaiming. I know this isnt Alienware related, but thanks for assistance.

    I don't know the capabilities of the card, but is it overclocked at all?

    vRel means that the card is reaching it's peak of stability at the current voltage, so boosting any higher will cause it to lose stability. Think of vRel as reliability.

    vOp means that the card is reaching it's maximum voltage. Think of vOp as operational capability.

    Both of these are normal.

    No overclock. I have been asking others with the same machine to run a benchmark with gpu z running to see if theres does it. No takers so far. 1 offer but no response.
