***UPDATE*** visit https://biosmods.wordpress.com/mxm-vbios/ for the fix to this throttling problem.

NVIDIA and/or Alienware needs to fix this. GPU-Z PerfCap Reason(s): Pwr, SLI - I have tried a plethora of settings, drivers and vBIOS mods. Nothing resolves it. Overclock seems to make it worse.

Alienware needs to fix the BIOS/EC on their Ivy Bridge and Haswell laptops, and until they do so the GTX 980M is going to malfunction and not be an attractive GPU upgrade for Alienware owners. Alienware has remained silent and no longer engaged with their customer base. I finally gave up and purchased a Clevo P570WM so I could enjoy my $1500 980M SLI upgrade in another machine.
