Question 2070 Max-Q Drivers (90w version)

[Gamefreaknet]

Notebook Check Review Link <--
At one point of the review it says "The drivers for the Max-Q version were optimized for efficiency (and not performance; only for Max-Q models)". However could this mean that Nvidia also released a separate set of drivers that were more for performance than efficiency (despite the lower power consumption compared to the desktop relatives).
At current my under load while gaming my CPU (i7 8750H) hits around 80C (avg across all cores) whilst my GPU rarely ever goes above 65C.

Nope, there are no separate drivers for performance. Because the GPU is a MAX-Q version, a power saving variant with reduced clock speeds.

Even though it was a normal non-MAX-Q variant, there are no separate set of drivers for any mobile GPU.

Alienware 03R2RY
Current Upgrades to it are:
Swapped the 1TB SSHD for a 2TB SSD and gave it a 1TB SATA (which I might upgrade to higher capacity later)
upgraded RAM from 2x8GB 2667mhz to 2x16GB 3200mhz

I have considered getting an external GPU for it since it does have a Thunderbolt 3 USB C port

MAX-Q = powerfull gpu in thinner then gamming MAX-P laptop
