2CPU

I ended up removing the Alienware command center and downloading the 1.1G (full version) for a re-install. After a few reboots the amplifier can be seen for the FX adjustment.

Oh man I super miss all the great info from Notebookreview. Do we know where Prema & MrFox are now? Just threw $50 of more RAM in the R1 I have and the RTX 5080 in the amplifier is working great.

BTW the 5080 works just fine. I actually screwed up my Win10 by trying to use the "HackFlags" and had to reinstall windows since I did not realize the boot hang was exactly due to that flag. I wish I had bought the eight pin Y-cable first since it is required to get the 5080 to turn on with the default Alienware Gfx Amplifier power supply. Once the Y cable is installed such that all three of the power adapter is filled the card just comes up as “Microsoft Basic Display Adapter”. Just installed the latest Nvidia driver which updated both 2080/5080. However when I installed AWCC the program does not give me a logo with the amplifier. The 3dmark scores jump up like crazy when comparing 2080 vs the 5080. I just recently bought Guardians of the Galaxy and Indiana Jones which both run Ultra settings so the 2080 would of totally fallen on its face. Timespy results are nearly 20k
