Hi, I posted this message on the general notebooks forums but I think I should have asked here:
"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).
The NEW 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????? "
The changes where also noticeable while in windows. Tasks like web browsing on Chrome/Opera or even Edge (the old and new chromium based Edge) where sluggish since browsers now are heavily dependant on GPU to render web pages.
Now, I should clarify that I have reverted to F.18 and things are back to normal, as per CPUIDHWmonitor and MSI Afterburner my GPU speed tops at 1600+ when cool and 1473 when hot, IT'S A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE!.
So, WHY HP? WHY IN HELL would you do this?
