Good - this helps.
Now that we know that the cause was temp threshold bios throttling, download and try A12. You can always go back to A06 if A12 doesn't cut it.

Unfortunately Dell's system bios updates are like playing russian roulette fixing one thing and breaking/altering 3 others.

Good luck and let me know how you make out.

For me, not being much of a gamer, A06 is probably the better compromise. I do hope that some one with warranty, and therin some sway with Dell, also finds this issue in A11 and reports it so that we can have both high performance CPU and GPU in A12 or A13.

Not that I'm all that hopeful of a rapid turn-around.

I'll keep this thread updated as information comes to hand.
