NVIDIA has taken a hard stance on laptop makers and have them display TGP variants on their product pages. We apologize for any frustration this has caused.” In the interim, we do not recommend using a vBios from another Alienware platform to correct this issue. We’re expediting a resolution through validation and expect to have this resolved as early as mid-June. This is an error that we are working diligently to correct as soon as possible. “We have been made aware that an incorrect setting in Alienware’s vBIOS is limiting CUDA Cores on RTX 3070 configurations. Apparently, it is a mistake that will be fixed by mid-June: Update: Tom’s Hardware has reached out to Dell for clarification as well. The laptop maker has also confirmed it may enable more cores in the future, which just shows that the decision to limit CUDA core count made completely no sense in the first place.ĭell confirms it intentionally disabled CUDA cores on RTX 3070, Source: Jarrod’s Tech In other words, disabling CUDA cores is simply the last thing to expect.ĭell has confirmed to Jarrod’s Tech, who is currently testing the exact same laptop, that the decision to disable the cores on RTX 3070 GPU was intentional by their engineering team after ‘careful testing and design choices’. In fact, NVIDIA even allows laptop makers to choose which features to enable (Dynamic Boost, Optimus etc.). This is truly an unprecedented thing to see in a gaming laptop, considering that these days NVIDIA gives laptop makers a lot of flexibility in deciding which graphics card SKU to use and how much maximum power (TGP) it should have enabled. The manufacturer has decided to limit the performance on Ryzen 5000 series equipped Alienware m15 R5 systems. What could’ve been a simple mistake, turned out to be an intentional decision by Dell. As it was discovered, Dell has put a cut-down graphics card in this system which features as many as 10% of CUDA cores disabled. Don’t buy Alienware m15 R5 if you want a fully spec’ed RTX 3070 Laptop GPUĮarlier this week we covered a story that unfolded on Reddit and TechPowerUP forums on the topic of GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU in Dell’s Alienware m15 M5 gaming laptop.
