    Hi all,

    As the title suggests, I'm currently getting horrible performance in games and benchmarks due to the fact the 970m GPU doesn't raise it's clock even when under 99% load. GPU-Z shows the GPU core clock sitting at 135mhz and the memory clock sitting at 162mhz.

    I've triple checked drivers, updated the BIOS, ensured the correct settings are present in the Nvidia control panel, but cannot for the life of me get it to run correctly.

    I notice that it seems to be constantly in the p8 state when using NvidiaInspector, but not sure if that's a cause or just another result of what's happening.

    Could this be hardware related? Any tips?
