Hello All 🙂
Since last week I'm a proud new owner of an factory sealed Precision 7760 (I7-11850H + RTX 3800 16GB, BIOS Version 1.5.0 - no update available through dell Command Update) bought second hand.
So far the machine is amazing but I have some power related problems when CPU and GPU is stressed. The notebook is mainly used docked on a WD19DC USB-C docking (+ Original 240W power brick), which should be suitable to provide enough power.
When I stress the CPU and GPU by using powerMAX, the power consumption never goes above 200W. it's more hovering around 170W (temperatures look fine). Though that's only a synthetic problem off course in that case. But benchmarking for example the game Tom Clancys The Devision 2 results in stuttering and the RTX 3080 is only sressed by 30% according to the In-Game monitor. That whole behaviour changes completly when attaching an additional 240W power brick directly to the notebook in addition to the already attached USB-C dock. That's the way I formerly used my Legion 5 Pro without any issues also on the same dock. I thought the Precision could do that natively without an additional power supply... 😞
Is anyone off you aware of that behaviour or even better has some advice for me what to do/change (BIOS, Dell Power Settings already set to Ultra Performance, Windows settings...)? Thanks in advance.
