Hi guys!
I’ve got an GX501GI laptop. The issue:
GTX1080 with Max-Q does not ramp up memory clock frequency after sleep, manual shutdown after wakeup after sleep, or when starting the machine on battery with power supply connect after boot-up. Resulting in very low gaming performance. A reboot fixes the issue.
I made some GPUZ screenshots for better understanding.
On wakeup after sleep (random game fire up).
Performance Cap stays at Power and Thermal throttle with 202.5 MHz base mem clock. Seems like ram's stuck in P8 (Performance Level 0) mode or so. I tried to get it fixed using MSI Afterburner, GPU Tweak II, and nvidia inspector. Nothing worked yet.
Only a reboot fixes it. Once fixed it can be reproduced by sending the machine to sleep or (here this get really weird) shut down (set in windows power settings) via close. When windows menu shut down button is used, on next boot everything is OK.
After reboot (random game fired up).
Everything's OK.
I found some info on that issue on the net, but no real solution. Best proposal I found was to activate a random profile in MSI Afterburner. Didn’t tried that though, since MSI Afterburner does not work correctly with GX501.
Any suggestions?
Will mess a bit with hibernation and hybrid stand by and update.

After a month trying I've manage to make It work.
Considering this is a very fast laptop I always switch it off.
I would recommend activate the hibernate option that saves the laptops battery and deactivate sleep altogether.
Used Asus battery program to not charge more than 60%
For long durability.
On the nvidia control panel I have it in optimal power. Drivers up to date.
To reduce throttle I used Intel xui to give -150mv undervolt. Haven't had any issues computer been working fine since eve the settings I used on the rog aura still work.
Consider changing thermal paste once warranty is over it seems they use cement instead. Let me know if this works for you and if u need any screenshots

It hasn't been happening to me since I set the battery not to charge over 60% - this could be it. I started doing it like a month ago and haven't had the problem since then. I used the Asus Battery Health Usage utility like Matapmbos did. I only set it to 100% when I travel with it.
I don't use hibernation but instead put the laptop to sleep using the switch.

I guess that's gonna be the last update on this one.
So I played a little with Windows power management settings and stuff. Clap machine shut or put it to sleep via windows start menu does not cause GTX1080 memory clock to stuck at 202.5 MHz anymore. The issue seems to be gone indeed!
The topic can be marked as resolved.
