This appears to be limited to around 80w.   It's running very cool at about 78c for GPU Hot Spot.  I had read on the old site that the GTX 980m was a no go due to heat.  I am guessing that the issue was an unlocked card?  Even with the TDP limit, it's a significantly faster than the M4000M.

The hardware ID is different from the Dell card so the inf mod required a bit more work.

Modified inf file for driver version 511.65: nvdmig.inf

13D8 = Dell GTX 970m

13D7 = Dell GTX 980m

1617 = Clevo GTX 980m

Firestrike graphics score is about 21% higher than my Quadro M4000M

I'm going to be performing this same upgrade in a week. Hopefully it works out. I will try to limit mine to 90W instead of ~80W though if I can.
