nylon Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 i finally have a working display port with my clevo 7970m.i never got it working with all dell vbios (mainly 015.017).after having my 7970m bricked, i got a vbios chip from svl7 with the 015.019 clevo vbios.et voila, DP works!!since most of the clevo 7970m card owners have that problem, they may give it a shot/flash and try!clevo7970m_015019.zipat this point once again: thanks svl7! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Just to clarify something, though I think I have mentioned it before, I had several Clevo 7970m in my system and I got DisplayPort to work with all vbios versions except the MSI and the Clevo HM vbios, therefore I think the problem could be motherboard related, there might be different revisions.Nevertheless it's worth a try if you don't have DP working.

Major Havoc Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Do you have to use a Alienware / Dell Display Port adapter or will any brand DP adapter be fine ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omeganex9999 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hello guys, sorry to bump this old thread, but I'm just searching for info and I haven't found any other thread about this subject. I bought a Clevo P151EM1 less than 2 years ago and I've been using it with my 7970m with no problems whatsoever. Unfortunately my HDMI out broke and I don't really want to send it back to the reseller to have it back in I don't know how many months. I tried to buy a Displayport to HDMI video adapter converter but, as you can imagine, it doesn't work. My TV "feels" like something is connected, but on my laptop it's like nothing's happening. I don't have a Displayport out to check if it works without the adapter.I tried updating my laptop's bios but nothing changed. I think you know more than me about this issue so I'll try to ask: should a different vbios help me? How can i check what rev is mine? (I'm reading of a 015.017 but I can't find this kind of numbers anywhere)I did edit my vbios to overclock the card, moths ago. Could that be part of the problem?Thank you!
