Hi,

What actually does the new update change in GPU performance? I want to know details like changes in TGP, because Im not a donkey and don't want to lose advantages like some people lost possibility to undervolt their 10th gen CPUs after 1.07 bios update in Preadators. "Better" is relative and it may mean something different for each of us.
Also I heard that the new BIOS update for Helioses (2.01?) gives that posibility back. Can anyone confirm the same in Nitro 5 BIOS update 2.03?

//Edited the content to add model name.

    Firstly MatX92, give us the exact Nitro 5 model that you are talking about and that you have? Like AN51x-xx as there are many different BIOS's for allot of different Nitro 5's.

    The only thing I could notice is that in the acpi tables, method NPCF ("NVPCF DSM"?) is slightly changed.

    Thank you. What about undervolting? Is it unlocked after that update?

    Nope, you still need to do the hidden variables trick if you want that.
    It's really sinful that on such hot cpus we can't control that out of the box.
    At least I wish acer could confirm it's made out of fear of warranties, explicit indication by intel to fix the plundervolt vulnerability, or whatever.

    p.s. take note that there were also other differences in the bios images, starting from the setup utility.. it's just that it was all too much over the place to be sure of anything.
