I recently upgraded my Alienware 17 (r5) to 980M (from Clevo), but there seems to be some throttling problems (not sure) with the 980M. Usually the 980M can reach about x4200+ in 3DMARK 11, but mine only got 3700+.
I got my laptop with the A14 bios, and i thinks the problem might be the bios becuase some of my friends got the same problem after they upgraded their bios version to A14. Before flashing the A14 bios, the score is about 4200 which is normal, but once you flashed A14, it goes down...
