Is anyone able to get us a copy of the vbios for this machine? I’d be willing to tip for it. I need it and others need it for testing purposes for our other machines.
If you need to be walked through how to get the vbios it’s pretty simple just follow either one of these guides:
https://www.overclockersclub.com/guides/how_to_flash_rtx_bios/
https://www.trishtech.com/2017/07/how-to-backup-gpu-bios-or-uefi-from-inside-windows/
What I need is just a backup of the vbios! If you still have questions, please let me know... we think it’s some unicorn vbios 100-115W RTX 2080 Max Q that should be able to performance boost a lot of other models!
I could tip with crypto or send some money with PayPal for your time, thanks so much!

Here's the vBios from my 2080MQ razer blade pro. I've seen it go up to 140w as seen here:

Update #1
With CPU mod to enable no power throttling I got my first power related shutdown while running OC Scanner (Seems I am pulling far exceeding the 230W power supply) I am continuing the test to see what best results I can get!
Update #2 (Balanced Mode)
This is my 3.9GHZ all core mod and firestrike score we can see TDP looks indeed to have been raised and scores are closer to that of the razer blade pro!
Update #3 (Performance Mode)
This is my 4GHZ all core mod and firestrike score TDP stayed at a constant 100W throughout the run. This stable 100W TDP started happening after I had an update for razer central (it seems it recognized I had the updated vbios when it updated)!
Update #4 (Performance Mode benefit will not stick)
Haha figured something out! And you all are going to laugh how I figured it out... I stuck my laptop in the freezer and used chrome Remote Desktop to monitor it... I had the freezer door closed with the power cable coming out the door haha!
Anyway findings are: GPU needs to be under 67C to be able to pull 100W+ if it isn’t then we are stuck at 90W. (This was wrong when the machine is out of the freezer even when under 67C it still will not hold 100W sustained and drops down within seconds to 90W sustained, then I have to apply performance mode again)
This also includes why sometimes even the Razer Blade Pro cannot pull more than 90W. What this means is my initial hypothesis was correct this is a hybrid 90 to 100W.
When you go above some value temperature I think (see above) you have to reapply the high performance option to once again unlock 100W.
What we need to figure out is how to max out fans in performance mode as balanced mode seems to be the only way to Max fans out?
Also yes as far as I can tell synapse allows us to use 100W with the 100W vbios... so like I said above it seems it’s a hybrid vbios 90-100W.
User without razer synapse may never be able to hit 100W as far as I know you all can never enable high performance mode on the vbios without razer synapse... thus without a razer product so I’m not sure if you can ever get the 100W mode to be enabled?
Update #4 (Performance Mode now sticks)
To fix above you must update the Razer Blade Bios to 1.04...

@seanwee @ryzeki I don’t have my GS75 yet, but thanks to @WhiteHelios, some testing can be done!

Try Firestrike with standard clocks on the cpu and the max you can get from the gpu and maybe you'll have more power available for the gpu. You are probably pulling more watts than the power brick can handle, as I'm not sure the adapter actually can handle 230w for long periods. I had to rma my power adapter since it was hitting temps in excess of 75C.
If it helps, here's my best Firestrike: https://www.3dmark.com/fs/19626530
I used synapse high for both cpu and gpu, -. 15V undervolt on cpu. Gpu was clocked +150 and +600 memory iirc. This is after repaste with kryo.Last edited: Jul 20, 2019 -

. Regardless pretty much a 3-6% improvement from what I was getting.

Have you hackintoshed your blade?

I tried flashing this on my RB15 8750h 2080mq but it's not going above 93w.

Are all the RBPs coming w a 90W vbios? So when mine comes tomorrow, nothing more needed?

Hackintoshihope, did you end up keeping the RB17 Pro vbios or did you change back to the 90w?

@Hackintoshihope can you upload the vbios file here?

This is my firestrike result with the stock 90w bios on my GS75.

Edit* Please look at the new run:
It seems that now in performance mode with razer central/synapse I get an impressive boost!

I hit +-1700 mhz in apex but only 1300+- in metro exodus with RT enabled.
Great graphics score BTW
Going to flash the 100w vbios now. Will post results when I finish benchmarking. -
I flashed @aIJay 's vbios and unfortunately it still caps at 90w.
@Hackintoshihope can you share the 100w vbios you are using? -

Does it only reach 100w if synapse is running? -

So unfortunately it's limited to Razer products. :/
Going to look into flashing a (150w) max-p bios then. -
So I went ahead and flashed the 150w 2080 vbios
And it worked
Going to run benchmarks and see what scores I'll get. -

The vbios I used was from the MSI GE75
HWInfo64 is showing 150w gpu power draw

What kind of performance numbers are you getting with 3D Mark?

It looks to me that gpu boost is not working since the clock speed stays at 1380.

Tried to fix the voltage curve in msi afterburner but nothing happens.
Any ideas what else to do? -
Can you try nvidia oc scanner?
I'm at uni and won't be able to any more testing till later today.
I also noticed that the gpu core voltage is lower now at 0.65v compared to 0.73+ -

I only got a 17k+ cpu score after overclocking the ram to 3466 mhz -
I tried oc scanner and it didn't help. Locking voltages in MSI afterburner didn't have any effect either.
I though that maybe the max-q chips are voltage limited but more searching showed that they can hit 0.8v too like on non Max-q cards.
Not sure whats wrong. Maybe I'll try to find another non-mxm 2080 vbios and see if those work. -

Regardless yeah I’m not sure it could be just simply differing board layouts?

Concerning the power budget.While the GE75 does have a 280w power brick, it only draws 250w peak and 200w while gaming according to notebookcheck's review.
For comparison, the GS75 draws 156w while gaming,239 peak and the RB 17 draws 182w while gaming, 214 peak.
Granted our devices will be drawing more power since we have removed the cpu power limit.
And even if the laptop draws more than the adapter can supply I wouldn't be concerned at all. Quite a few laptops from last generation were known to do that and the only effect was that the battery will slowly drain while gaming. -
I can’t see any link of the BIOS, does anybody can help me please?
