That's great to hear! If you have time, I'd be interested to know what the VRAM usage is like for 8GB card at 1080p max settings with ultra texture DLC and using the in-game DSR setting to render at 125%, 150% or 200% resolution.

Nope. By undervolting you're taking away the excess voltage that is doing nothing but generating more heat, so the processor will actually run better if anything. Of course just make sure you're not running too lean otherwise the chips runs out of juice and throws a blue screen.

I gotta say I didn't even know what to look for/at until you zoomed in on it. Though I understand what you mean by once you know it's there it bugs you forever. -

While Smart Update is DL the NV drivers, I just ran FFXIV ARR and no crashes. I was getting 100+ FPS @ 1920x1080, 90FPS @ 1920x1440 & 80sFPS @ 2880x1620. But my desktop looks like this after I exited out of the game.
EDIT: Smart Update is taking forever to DL NV drivers.
EDIT 2: After installed NV drivers from Smart Update, 3DMark still crashing with the following. Gonna redo TIM over the weekend and do further testing. Sadly,probably have to send it in for repair. What a shame, just got it too.

Well it's voltage and the TDP limit set for each chip. ULV chips suck because their TDP are hard capped at such a ridiculously low number that they simply can't turbo indefinitely without bursting their TDP cap, and so they throttle, and badly. That's called TDP throttling and it's distinct from thermal throttling.
Same idea with full voltage chips. Your CPU will turbo for as much and as long as it can without going over the TDP limit, which is 47W for sustained continuous loads, and 57W for burst loads. Since the default voltage is universally too high, what this means is that a good 4-5W is simply wasted as heat and not being used to do any meaningful work. So first of all you'll be getting at least 5C more heat for nothing, which could be enough to cause thermal throttling especially in thin and lights where everything is pushed right to the edge. Then there's the issue of TDP throttling. Because that 4-5W is wasted as heat, the CPU may fail to sustain its max turbo clocks because to do so would require it push past the 47W limit, and instead it might run at max-100MHz for example. By trimming away that wasted 4-5W of energy, the CPU can now actually use it towards useful work instead of putting out heat. So max turbo may increase, and temperature definitely goes down.
In order to successfully overclock a chip, you need to have access to power limit controls. This seems to depend on how laptop manufacturer implement the settings in their BIOS. Although the stock Clevo BIOS sucks, the TDP lock does seem to be disabled by default, so if I increase the power limit in XTU the setting sticks, and my 4900MQ essentially acts like an MX chip locked to a maximum of 4.2GHz on 4 cores and 4.4GHz on a single core. However it seems other manufacturers impose a hard lock, and while you can set the power limits in XTU, the BIOS only allows the chip to exceed its factory limit for a short time before reeling it right back in, so overclocking on those laptops don't tend to be too fruitful.
Yep.

I realise that my reviewing and general info stream has dried up these past few days and I just want to let you all know there's good reason for that (no it wasn't the microscopic chip I made, though that will forever haunt me). I've come up against several key coursework deadlines so it's pretty hectic at the moment. The good news is that I will have more time to spare after Tuesday (which conveniently is the release date of Far Cry 4!
).
