    On prema's site the 751dm-g is listed as soon, for vbios. Tried the files there already and ended up in an error. Not the usual ID mismatch.

    Flashing anything other than the files meant for your particular model will quickly lead to bricking the machine.

    Are you trying to say that Prema's modified bios' will brick the machines they were designed for?

    Nobody has found original BIOS for P771DM -G ?
    The XMG BIOS blew my guarantee...

    I'm saying choosing another file on his website rather than one listed for your machine will as myx seemed to be doing.

    În the vbios section even though the DM models are listed they are mentioned as SOON. That means it's not compatible yet. Right?

    as i was saying before, i am talking about the vBios NOT the system bios! the vbios is for mxm card, thus its independent from the model of machine you have, as long as its a clevo!

    check this link: https://biosmods.wordpress.com/gtx9/

    its for the non-gsync version of clevo mxm 980M gpus. there is another vbios for gsync versions.

    the one you previously quoted as "soon" is the SYSTEM bios mod, and that one is indeed specific for each and every laptop model.

    the discussed gpu throttling can be fixed by flashin the linked vbios version, it does not have anything to do with the system bios.

    again: as long as you sport an mxm 980M, the only two things u have to discern is if ure sporting a clevo / alienware model and if its gsync or not. :)

    BUT: if your DM 980M gpus sport neither the already known gsync or nongsync IDs from the previous ZM models, then there might still be some tweaking necessary from prema's side...

    edit: just noticed this post sounds a bit harsh, didnt mean it that way :D just wanted to be sure there are no misunderstandings here :) in the middle of an experiment here, so my mind is a bit elsewhere ;)

    right, so they indeed use new IDs! thx for the link :) i wonder why that is.... i mean, the skylake chipset shouldnt make the difference, and everything else is pretty much the same.

    hmm i don't know what i should do right now, my P751DM feels like a false super saiyan to me, it has the physical power but i can't unleash it to the full potential. Can't get the Display(s) i want, Reseller still don't know about the new ID 980M and i'm just sitting here and thinking about selling my P751DM already and getting a P771DM-G instead cause i heard already that the LG in the 771 mostly do 100hz out of the box which is tempting me very much i just can't get over the Input delay i get when playing on that beast most noticeable in GW2. Don't even want to mod my heatsink yet cause i dunno maybe i have to return it again when the real Gsync 980Ms are true story. :rolleyes: decisions decisions

    Edit: in CS:GO UT99 (yeah the old one) and Wildstar Input lag isn't that hard like in GW2 but still very noticeable at least for me.

    In those games you just gotta deactivate gsync. I cant play cs go with it on, the 980 is easily surpassing 250 fps.
    Maybe with fps_max 100 (or whichever is your refresh rate) it gets better, Ive yet to try it

    Can you link your results? Or just tell me the scores per category if you remember, graphics, physics and combined.

    don't have gsync only my Notebook supports it, but GPU does not

    don't forget tho he has an i5 non k which definitely causes some lower points

    Sure. http://www.3dmark.com/fs/5200859

    Of course. But still, he should have a higher score. If i oc my cpu to 4.5 ghz i only get more 100 points.

    You get 300 more points at graphics which I can easily blame on the power throttle (hopefully will be fixed with prema vbios ).

    And a huge difference on the CPU tests because of the huge frequency difference and probably hyperthreading.

    Yes, but on the total combined score the cpu doesn´t have much of an effect. As i said before, from 4.0ghz to 4.5 ghz i only get more 100 points on the final score.

    hyperthreading has a large impact on 3dmark, so that combined with the 500mhz difference could do the trick...

    hey samot, u could possibly deactivate HT and adjust for the clock difference via xtu / premamod, see how much that impacts the score.

    also, check ur ram configs (single/dual channel), ram speeds and timings, could also make some difference, albeit a small one.

    I think that 3dmark doesn't read it correctly. It shows full clock speeds in gpuz running in the background, I check pwr throttle with it and yes it throttles.

    Same thing with the cpu, sometimes it shows @ 3.2, other times at 2ghz. Somewhat random I'd say, let alone the fact that it doesn't properly recognize the cpu

    hey i did about 10.5k but couldn't push further :p right now i just doing a dirty 4.5ghz cpu and 1382mhz gpu. This time i have a 76,8% ASIC 980M before i only had 71,x% and i know ASIC blahblah but i don't give my hopes up :D

    Edit: 10644 i get 11k you will see (i hope)
    Edit2: 10761 gpu @ 1416/2906 @ cpu 4.5
    Edit3: 10849 gpu @ 1426/2906 @ cpu 4.6

    Edit: corrected the clocks. Firestrike doesn´t report correctly the applied clocks. Luckily i have all the data on a spreadsheet. :)

    yes, skylake seems to clock as well as haswell but can handle higher voltages much better tempwise. was a good decision to get those VRMs off the cpu pcb!

    my highest gpu score was at the 12550 mark, whereas cpu was around 13.3k iirc. that was at 4.8 ghz so it looks like skylake has a nice little advantage in fs ;)

    It was much easier to get to 10850 than on my ZM before, sure now i'm already on the limit but before i get a 330w i decide if selling my P751DM and get a P771DM, i know i sound like a spoiled brat but 60hz are so 1990 for me :D

    Ok doing the last run for today 4.7ghz cpu and gpu @ 1442

    Edit: this gpu almost does 40mhz more than my previous 980m which is nice :cool:

    lol, spoiled refresh rate brat indeed!

    and yes, the lower temps at higher voltages plus that ~5-7% physics boost clock for clock does indeed help a lot :)

    @AJC you mean for a phoenix right? i doubt ull be able to max out the 330W adapter with your zm, no matter how high u oc everything...

    yep, same here with 1476, asic 71,x%. doesnt really say jack about an individual card

    cmon scerate, give us that 11k dammnit!

    edit: scratch that 1476, its actually 1416, so theres even LESS connection to the ASIC :p

    10953 cpu 4.7ghz gpu 1426/2915

    *whistles push it too the limit music*

    Edit: 10993 cpu 4.7 gpu 1446/2915
    come on

    edit2: nope sadly it's the limit it seems pushing the gpu a bit further with +87.5mV results in a blackscreen and beeping when trying to booting up, but i guess i can do the 11k when Prema brings out his bios so that i can finally tweak some ram settings, i bet i get easily out 100-200 points with that alone.

    I hear ya. Fresh loaded win 10 pro today, ntlite on the live install removing components (my ISO wouldn't boot), then dws lite to remove apps (including Windows store) and disable spyware. With a g1840 and 970m, went from 4201 to 5302 in FS. Can't wait for the new CPU

    wow seriously? thats a crazy bump just based on OS tweaking! o_O

    btw scerate, congratz! now uve got me beaten on both gpu and physics score :D and those 7 points are just a fluke, repeat that bench 1-2 times and maybe ull just get lucky with an 11k+ score :D

    also, that black screen are your power phases giving out on you, the 980M just cant get enough juice at those clocks....

    btw, i was wrong before - my gpu can do 1416 on core and 3016 on vram before blacking out.
