*OFFICIAL* Alienware 17 Ranger (2013) Owner's Lounge Thread

Looks like the performance isnt great either unless I am reading that wrong...

 

Seems awful. The result would be even worse if he have the test results with Meltdown protection disabled (old bios).

 

I have install it on the AW17, is Microcode 24

 

Yeah, I know. But have you tested the performance vs. what you got with older µ-code and bios? Thanks.

 

Not so good...

µ-Code 22 BIOS A14: Geekbench: Single Core 4807, Multi Core 16401
µ-Code 24 BIOS A15: Geekbench: Single Core 4404, Multi Core 14002

 

hello, does anybody here have the prema mod gsync vbios working download link backup for gtx 980m for alienware 17 r1 120hz? ive been searching for it since yesterday but cant find a working link uploaded here in the forum...thanks in advance

 

Contact Prema.

There is no gsync version of the Ranger that I am aware.

 

None should share mod firmware they haven't created themself.

 

but is it ok to flash a modified non-gsync gtx 980m vbios on a aw 17 r1 120hz? i installed a msi gtx 980m g sync (with device id 1617) with stock bios on aw17 and got a very low firestrike score of 7300..so i think modifying the vbios will solve the problem..tnx sir

 

Screen also needs to be G-Sync.

Also I wouldnt know about flashing untested vBIOS onto a working card. If you cant find any precedent for it then its basically up to you to figure that out.
