Omen 15 (2018)
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an OMEN 15 (2018) with an i7 7700HQ and a Nvidia 1060maxQ, and despite some thermal issues when doing long gaming sessions I've had no problems playing games with this baby, UNTIL BIOS UPDATE F.19 REV A FROM APRIL 2019.

I installed this bios update yesterday and as soon as I launched a game I saw Thermal and Power Throttling warnings on my GPU (noted with MSI Afterburner and CPUID HWmonitor).

In games like The Division 2, where I was doing 50+ frames on medium settings I'm now stuck at 25+ with lots of stuttering and screen efects (tearing, etc).

**bleep** HP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDITED TO ELABORATE.

The temperature limit seems to kick in at 45°C #$%&!!! The GPU it's stuck at 1063Mhz where before it wolud go beyond 1400!!!!

This is seriously messed UP, I want this changes reverted, this is idiotic. Only a moron would do this to a gaming laptop.

It has completely ruined my notebook for good.

Is there any chance the "person"(insert adjective here) who released this can revert the changes?????

Well, even if that is relevant, the Thermal and Power limits on the GPU have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

The only changes related to performance that I could see are GPU related and not CPU related, the CPU still boosts as usual and has the same speed as before so.............. f....ck HP and the last bios (I'm really angry right now)

EDIT, can I revert to F.18???????????????
