I have the older xps 15 9530. If you try to run any decent game (spec wise easy for the laptop to handle), it will throttle down to 10 fps or less within 5 minutes. When I contacted customer care, they said since this is an ultrabook, this is expected and that they couldn't do anything.
So, my advice would be to research thoroughly if you are buying an XPS for gaming.
- rocky1138 9y agoThat is such bullshit. If the machine can't keep up with its own hardware running at 100% then it shouldn't be in there.
- JamesMcMinn 9y agoThe XPS 9560 shares the same thermal design as the 9550, both of which are considerably better than the 9530. I'm able to game for hours on my XPS 9560 with no thermal issues.
- nonamechicken 9y agoI guess different people have different experiences. Googling "xps 9560 throttling" shows up quiet a few results which sounds very similar to what I face. For example, this is from the 4th link in my search result: When I play a game (overwatch, fallout 4, gta v), after some time my gpu throttle and i lost between 20-30% fps. And after more time, my CPU throttle to aroung 0.80 ghz and I lost all my FPS, the game become unplayable.
