G9-791-73EX (GTX 980M) - GPU NEVER working at full capacity

got the Predator 17 G9-791-73EX (GTX 980M) and monitored the workload of the GPU. It seems to be perpetually stuck at Performance level 2 (out of 4, as was shown in my Nvidia Inspector), even if it reaches 100% GPU usage. Furthermore I checked the Nvidia Control Panel and enabled "Prefer maximum performance" for the option "Power management mode". If I understand correctly, that should lock the GPU in the highest performance level as soon as a 3D application is running, but that never happens.

So.. that's a lot of fun.

    All of the monitoring tools are not able to read the right P-Level. If you run 3dmark13 and you get between 8200-9000points your gpu works in the right level p0.
