thanks so much, but unfortunately im having a hard time downloading this :( I don't have permission...

Just donate for one month and download all you need. :D It's not that hard. My donation was totally worth it, great forum.

overclocked a geforce 260m gtx to the same clocks as a 460m gtx and been that way for 4 years. like a 30% increase in clock speed.
i think the laptop is coming to the end of its days tho. every so often it blank screen then comes back on.
does anyone have a modded vbios for a quadro k2000m?
any vbios for a 980m gtx?

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to get a GTX680M (4GB) out of a Clevo to work in a Dell Precision M6700.

I'm using the modded 306.02.2 driver from this thread: https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/1597-using-your-4gb-gtx-680m-to-its-safest-and-full-potential/

The card works, however GPU-z only shows a PCIe x16 1.1 connection (the QM77 chipset should be capable to do 2.0), even when I start the rendering test.

It seems that the card always stay at its lowest performance level (GPU core clock 135MHz and GPU memory clock 162MHz). :apologetic:

 

Here is what I already tried:

- Set Windows 7 and NVIDIA settings to high performance mode

- Flashed the Dell and vBIOS to the latest versions (A16 and 80.04.67.00.01)

- Used the latest NVIDIA driver (376.33) with a modded .inf

- Checked temperature (never goes aboe 50°C)

- Disabled Optimus in the Dell BIOS

- Installed Ubuntu but there it was the same (NVIDIA PowerMizer performance level always 0 --> lowest).

 

My last hope is to flash a modded vBIOS, but I have no permission to download it. I'm fully aware of the risks with a modified voltage.

However, other ideas how to get the full performance out of the GTX680M are also highly appreciated.

 

EDIT: Solved. I had to change to an Alienware vBIOS. Thanks again @Klem!

Done. Try.

 

MSI680.rom

 

Can you make that one as my previous one? Or should I just do it myself, not exactly fully educated in the KeplerBiosTweaker tbh

My previous one: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/188389/188389 (it was 900/2200) the one you made is 770/2200. 

Thanks in advance Klem :-)

Why You wnt change a GTX 780M to K4100M?

The GTX 780M is much more faster,the K4100M is a GTX 680M.

The Clocks in the GTX  are allways higher because the Quadro must work very stable.

They are very underclocked.

The GTX 780M have 823 MHz,with MSI Afterbrner You could chnge it th 959MHz.

This is with normaly the Limit of this Card without Voltage Modding.

are the msi afterburner best choice for overclocking?

Nope still not going to 900/2200, it is at 770/2200 atm. 

Can you look at this older vBIOS of mine for reference? :)

edit: okay I fixed it myself, used the Kepler BIOS Tweaker, and adjusted the vBIOS you gave me @Klem to the same clocks as the one @svl7 made, thanks to you guys for your hard work!

edit2: just wanted to help others too, it was fairly easy, as I had reference points - what I did was I alligned the boost tables to meet my max clock, which was 900+ for my needs, so I adjusted that, a thing that was missing in the previous vBIOS' I got, no issues, took 15 seconds to crosscheck I didn't miss anything else.

Hello every one. I was reading this topic almost whole day :) this is piece of hellish good work here. I own Clevo P157 SMA with GTX 880m 8GB. I'm facing annoying GPU throttling for few months, can't find solution anywhere. It started after some drivers update. I found and read the thread at geforce forum about crippling this GPU and it made my head full of ache... But after reading this thread at TI I see you people are able to help with cases like mine. I did bios swap from OEM to this one: Nvidia GTX 880m - 'OC edition' - rev00, but most of time my GPU run worse than with stock bios... I spent hours on tests with 3DMark11 and games, checking also different drivers and I came to conclusion that even adding ~+10mhz to gpu core (oc edition bios) causes a lot of throttling... Now I got back to stock bios, in games it's better, less throttling but still this is unacceptable, eg. The Witcher 3 - throttles about 4 times in 10 mins with temp around 80C, even stupid CS GO can throttle with temp about 65C... What's more I can only dream about GPU going to 993mhz, it stays at 954 and even less. My GPU stock bios is  80.4.F8.02.04, and this is weird - why NV INSP tells subvendor is Schenker while GPUZ tells it's Clevo/Kapok - maybe this OC eddition rev00 bios isn't dedicated to mine GPU? But I flashed it without any problems and no blue screens after, no artifacts in game. To avoid some questions: I keep temps below 85C (TW3 with auto fan speed ~86C max, with locked max fan speed 79C), as far as I remember only Quantum Break and Witcher 3 reached about 85C, I'm using also notepal u3 pad, no dust inside, cooling paste, t-pads are factory (I have this laptop for a year), nvidia profiles set to GTX, Win10 power profile set to performance. Could somebody give me a helping hand with dedicated oc bios for this GPU with unlocked functions and clocks with no turbo like in this 'OC edition' - rev00 (993mhz default). Thanks in advance.

Your picture is broken, can you re-upload it? 

What nVIDIA drivers are you using?

Does anyone know how to remove the graphics card whitelist from a Dell M6600 bios?  If so I'd be very grateful.  I am trying to make my Quadro K3100m work with my laptop and it freezes at the blue windows loading window.

 

Here is a link to the newest bios for the M6600:

 

https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER01772111M/1/M6600A15.exe

 

Sorry a little bit late but did you try resetting the bios to default, or even try unplugging the CMOS battery for up to 1 minute?

 

I recently help my friend upgrade his laptop m6700 from firepro m6000 to gtx 780m (dell alienware version). It was black screen and led flashing at the beginning, but after clearing CMOS it boots and now it was running like a charm.

Did you use DDU before installing the new vBIOS? 

Schenker is Clevo, so no worries there. 

 

Yup, DDU in debug mode, then shut down, pwr and battery out for about 30 min and new installation after that.

Hi all.

I'm trying to mod the vBIOS of my 740m. First of all, how can i enable the cursors in nvidiainspector o msiafterburner?

I have another question: if i open my vbios with Kepler Bios Tweaker, i notice that the power table was empty. Is there a way to unlock the power proprieties of my vBIOS?

 

Here the vBIOS: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5ZlfIs-3hfgV2MtcWx4TF9NSjA

 

@Klem Can you help me?

I think the problem might be your Clevo BIOS.. 

Alternatively try look at the unlocked modded BIOS for your machine by @Prema https://biosmods.wordpress.com/p157sm/ and the changelog for it https://biosmods.wordpress.com/p1sm-changelog/

Good luck, there's a tutorial and all :-) 

I am not sure what is wrong tho.

You probably made my day...

Found some thread from notebookreview forum, quote: "... Prema gave me a BIOs based off 1.03.03TCP and it works flawlessly. Clevo broke the 800 series cards with the later BIOs updates. "

It seems not only nVidia but also Clevo is blame for shi* around GTX series... Why always people have to repair what manufacturers screw and ofc nor nVidia neither Clevo will admit their fault.

I need to get somehow to the BIOS user ZeroX03 from notebookreview forum received.

Many thanks for the clue!

Happy to help!!

I've seen a few fixes using Prema's BIOS' :) 

TechInferno and Notebookreview forums are great for laptops - some really smart people hanging out on both forums actively.

Hi everyone!

I have the same GPU on an HP Laptop. I'd like to modify the vBios because HP set a really low Temperature limit on the card (67°C) and so it downclocks even with standard settings (not overclocked). @PippBauda did you manage to modify yours? I am knew to the subject so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry, but my notebook it's not an HP and i haven't problems of heat or throttle. I have tried to open my vbios with kepler bios tweaker and search for the thermal throttle temperature, but there are no options. I can't help you.

I see, thanks anyway.
I've read in your profile that your location is "Italy". Are you Italian? Can I send you a PM to talk about the subject? I feel it would be easier to understand, because I'm Italian too :)
