Thanks, mate. I'm getting a replacement due to some other faults, I'll see what the replacement is like. I'm just afraid that it is designed to perform this way.
Hi, I have run a number of tests in games and FurMark. GPU power almost never goes past 90 Watts, even when CPU usage is low. Because of this, the FurMark 1080P test result is really subpar at 7084 points (118 FPS, 60000 ms). I saw a similar thread on x17 R2 here. Seems x17 R2 is sorted by the latest vbios update, I tried to run that update but it can't be run seems it is only for x17 R2. Are we going to get a similar vbios update to fix this power barrier in x15 r2? This is very annoying to see other brand laptops achieving far better performance when we certainly have the hardware to do so but the bios is not tweaked correctly.
