HP Omen 17 2019 RTX 2080 VBios Modding (190W)

a usb-c to DP cable is 15 bucks on amazon and it works just the same. Im running 1440p ultrawide (3k res i think?) at 100hz over usb-c with no problems.
Ive been using the 180w bios and temps are great. in a year or so when the 2080 starts falling behind maybe ill try the 200w. there is plenty of power available with the cpu limited to 50w. most games only need 35w to hold 4.1ghz on all cores but even the most cpu intensive games have never needed more than 50w.

 

Hey,

how did you get your USB-C port to work? I tried the latest hotfix driver today, with the 180W and 190W bios, no chance.

 

Im still using 446.14. I haven't even tried the hotfix. figured i would wait until the official release.

 

I'm using a Cable Matters USB-C to DP adapter and it works with the hotfix driver and 200W VBIOS.

My wife tends to get angry if I start ordering loads of cables so sounds like I will need to skip for now
