Editor’s note 6/11/2021: Dell has approached us and gave him the following statement: “Last week, we discovered that our new Alienware M15 game system was limiting Cuda Cores at 3070 configurations. We have released an update of Firmware to help resolve the incorrect configuration. Please check the Support page here for the updated VBIOS “. Alienware M15 The owners should now be able to take full power from their laptop. The original story continues down.
Dell Alienware M15 gaming laptop obtained some recent care after it was announced that the Martian thematic machine would be abandoning Intel in favor of using the AMD Ryzen 5000 series, the first alfiert alienware to use an AMD processor from 2007
It is possible that the focus has not made any favor. by Dell.
The problem was initially reported by Jarrod’Stech on its YouTube channel, with benchmarks that show that it became a suspect of the machine when the reference points for the M15 R5 were not correlated with other results of the laptops using Hardware RTX 3070.
After arriving in Dell directly, it was previously confirmed that the GIMP decision The GPU was carried out by its engineering team after “careful testing and design options to bring the best more stable performance,” but also mentioned that more CUDA cores They could be unlocked through a future update.
Since then, Tom’s hardware also contacted Dell and has now arisen that limitation is actually an error and a solution is being developed for a release of mid-July.
“We have realized that an incorrect VBIOS configuration of Alienware is limiting Cuda Cores in RTX 3070 configurations. This is an error that we are working diligently to correct as soon as possible. We are accelerating a resolution through validation and we hope That this is resolved from mid-June. In the intermediary, we do not recommend using a VBIOS of another Alienware platform to correct this problem. We apologize for any frustration that this has caused. “
