m15 R2, misreported GPU clock speed, input voltage and power usage
Hi, I recently noticed my GPU clock speed, voltage and power consumption all get misreported when playing games or doing anything that uses the dGPU, and it seems to be causing massive performance degradation in games that I play. I'm currently getting about 1/3 of the original performance that I used to get. The issue started when I installed the GeForce 472.12 driver, and persisted after a driver uninstall using DDU, then installing the previous driver version from Nvidia's website. I recently updated to the 496.13 driver in hopes that it might solve the issue, but it didn't unfortunately. I'm hoping this is just a software issue that can be solved without having to return the unit or reinstall windows, since I also depend on this laptop for university work and currently don't have a backup solution available (literally and metaphorically). Attached is an example of the misreported values that I saw when playing War Thunder, the power even sustained itself at "326W" shortly after for as long as the game was running. I've found this same behaviour across all the games I have installed, it's not fun. Since the screenshot cut off the full name of the GPU, it's an RTX 2080 Max-Q. For this example, I'd typically get ~150FPS in War Thunder with the current settings I'm using, with dips to 60 in gameplay. I now get 'this' framerate, with frequent dips to 15 in game. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: oh, and just to get it out of the way, the SupportAssist GPU video and system board tests both passed with expected results, real world usage indicates it's a false negative. Also on Windows 10 21H1 build 19043.1288
