Mobile RTX 2060 power limit ?

[NoGanksEric]

Hey there, 

 

I recently got myself an HP Omen 15dh0004ng and i really love it. 

It has an Rtx 2060 and a i9 9750h 

But theres one thing i noticed. The Rtx 2060 allthough it should be identical to the desktop card is a lot slower. in sottr on ultra im only getting 45 fps compared to 55 on desktop.

Si i researched and found out my card is clocked significantly lower than the desktop card to achieve a 200 watts power limit. so far so good.

THEN i installed msi afterburner too verifiy the articles were right and thats where something interesting accourred. 

 

msi afterburner confirmed the 900-1200mhz clocks BUT when im ingame for example in sottr it shows clock speeds of up to 1500mhz. but with no performance impact. 

so i tried to dig a little deeper and installed hwmonitor. and it shows me the gpu power limit is reached at 1200mhz. 

so my guess is that the gpu has a software power limit that is way way too low. msi afterburner tries to clock my gpu much higher since it thinks theres enaugh headroom (wich there is)

but it cant because at 1200mhz the gpu throttles.

 

my question now. It somehow must be possible to deactivate this power limit at 1200mhz. i mean msi afterburner know i have a 200 watts power supply so it wont to anything unreasonable. i believe if i disabel this power limit and let msi afterburner decide on its own how far the clocks can go i can get much much better performance of almost desktop grade. 

 

whats your opinion ? do you know how to disable this power limit ?

Your power brick only 200w? Your proc need 70w-80w, other components maybe need around 20w so that left 100w for your 2060.

well it seems like every mobile rtx2060 is throttled to a max of 90 watts. and alsmost every laptop has only 200watts ^^

but all i do is gaming. and on an 2 core load my cpu doesnt need 80 watts so msi afterburner may use the free watts gained by that and clock a little higher 

 

like i said i dont think msi afterburner is doing something unreasonable with the clocks

Maybe you can check GPU-Z the actual power limit in Advanced tab.

 

Desktop RTX 2060 boost to 1.9k-2.0k and consume like 170w. Your i9 consume 45w@2.6ghz all core, even if it only use 2 cores it might boost much higher and consume more than 45w. Not to mention your storage, RAM, cooling system.

Doesnt matter, it wont break the bios power limit regardless.

Well on GPU-Z i can only find a temperature limit of 87 degree but theres the same weird thing. on the front page it says 900-1200mhz clocks and i i turn on msi kombustor it shows me clocks of 1300-1500mhz but those are not beeing applied

It's locked for mobile GPUs

thats sad.. because i believe the gpu could do much better
