welp, after reading the other thread I updated to the new bios and I'm getting the full cheeseburger from the cpu now if I set power4gear to "performance" when on battery. What I immediately noticed was that webpage scrolling is buttersmooth again, just like on AC.

yup! that's what I'm talking about!

That guy hmscott is spreading wrong information across the forums with his system's issue! this BIOS is the best thing that happened to this laptop

Pitcher, please do share whatever you discover about BIOS 208, but please don't call me out as giving out bad information, when you might be doing that yourself by not adequately stressing the CPU with your usage / tests to see problems.

I posted the details of the problem I am seeing, including the download link so you can test it yourself. Please recreate the testing I did and documented in my posts. And, let us know what you see.

I recreated tests by other users, and found they didn't stress the CPU the same way. Single-threaded tests, and tests that don't stress the CPU the way that Prime95 does don't produce the load necessary to cause the lag.

By using ThrottleStop to set the CPU during the times of lag on BIOS 208 the lag goes away, so there is additional tuning that could be done to BIOS 208 to improve performance.

And, I have suggested in a few posts that you can always back up to BIOS 207 if your usage on BIOS 208 isn't satisfactory, so there is no reason not to try BIOS 208 for your own usage.

strange how everyone else is having great results except you bro.

no offense meant in my post

but maybe try a clean install with the latest drivers im sure ull get better results

It's ok, no offense taken, and I am always open to criticism, so keep it coming 🙂

To put your mind at ease about whether I have a crappy system or not, here are my 3dmark and 3dmark11 scores online, all the highest for a GTX770m/i7-4700HQ. The system is purring like a kitten 😉

Please download the Prime95 app, and fire it up with 8 threads of "In place large FFT's (maximum heat, power consumption, some RAM tested)", and go onto battery and browse / run apps and see if you experience any mouse / keyboard lag. I could use a few more data points to see if it is just me 🙂

Prime95 is the stress test I default to when testing stability. Here is the download, if you want to give it a try:

here you go bro to prove you it's only your system

PS: The reason you see the core speed @ 2.11 is normal that's because all 8 cores are working but in normal situations it's
@ 3.2 to 3.4 Ghz. and this test was done on battery power

no mouse jerkiness, i used the computer as well and browsed on Pale Moon it was smooth as usual

Pitcher, look at the CPU usage, it is only 88%. It needs to be in the high 90's like this:



Which Power Plan are you running, and for the battery mode, what % CPU min/max do you have set?

When I first posted the issue, I had Power4Gear installed, but now am using the stock Balanced Plan, set at 0% min and 100% max for battery and AC.
