elmo Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Just like you could flash a 580m to a 675m, do you think eventually a 675mx could be flashed to a 770m? They appear to be really similar 960 cores on bothThe 675mx actually seems to be a bit better then the 770m, with a memeory bus width of 256. The 770m has a bus width of 192 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 675mx is GK104, 770m is GK106. Won't work. Besides why would you even want to do this? The 675mx is the better performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think flashing the 580m to a 675m did much for performance either I just thought it was interesting you could do things like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 The 580m and 675m is the same hardware, 100% identical. It's just a vbios updated which changes the device ID. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svl7 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm pretty sure it will work fine, but maybe a vbios mod will be required in order to make it clock properly on the M15x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Johnson Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 *Please* tell me you have a vBIOS Mod for the GeForce GTX 770m. My Alienware M15x isn't accepting my new 770m, and I don't know what else to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Johnson Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Well, what exactly is the problem? What happens if you put the card in the M15x?When I insert the card, the computer starts up normally. However, GeForce Experience does not detect the new card, nor does the Device Manager. The only thing under Display Adapters is "Standard VGA Adapter". Whenever I attempt to install new drivers, I get the error, "Nvidia driver update can not detect any compatible hardware." I've tried many different drivers from different sites, and all give the same error. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Let me know if you need any information or anything whatsoever. P.S. I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium 64x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Download the 320.40 WHQL driver from Nvidia, extract the files and replace the attached .inf file with the original one in the 'Display.Driver' folder.770m - M15x.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Johnson Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'll try that as soon as I get home, thank you! What should I do about the old drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Old drivers? You mean the GPU drivers you had on the system before you got the 770m? Uninstall them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Johnson Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Old drivers? You mean the GPU drivers you had on the system before you got the 770m? Uninstall them.Should I simply remove the program in the Control Panel, or should I worry about the Registry and program files as well?I forgot to mention, HWInfo64 detects the new GPU, so I don't think it's DOA.

svl7 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Of course it's not DOA, all you need is a driver. Uninstalling per control panel will do. Then reboot.Can you give me a copy of your vbios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyslimerr Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Download the 320.40 WHQL driver from Nvidia, extract the files and replace the attached .inf file with the original one in the 'Display.Driver' folder.Will that work for 680m as well? Or do you have the inf file for that? Someone on NBR is looking for that. http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m15x/725555-questions-680m-m15x.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Nope. And I don't really if someone is looking for something on NBR, if they want me to help they can ask me here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyslimerr Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I was just trying to help a fellow M15x owner....I think they are going to join here anyway to get the vBIOS packs you made after donating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Johnson Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Can you give me a copy of your vbios?Of course! Just let me know how.Download the 320.40 WHQL driver from Nvidia, extract the files and replace the attached .inf file with the original one in the 'Display.Driver' folder.I can't find the 320.40 WHQL on Nvidia's website, will the 320.49 WHQL work? Or is that what you meant? I apologize for the ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Johnson Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 That fixed it!! Thanks man, I truly appreciate it! I'll be sure to donate! Now with that being said, will I be able to get any further updates (like automatic ones from GeForce Experience)? Or will I need a modded .inf file for every update here on out? Thanks again man! I'll be happy to give you a copy of my vBIOS if you let me know how to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You will always need a modified .inf, but this one might do for some of the upcoming drivers as well.Just use GPU-Z for the dump, that's the easiest way, click on the little symbol next to the bios version line.Did you check whether your card is clocking up properly? Cause the 780m needs a modified vbios to get full 3d clocks in the M15x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Johnson Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Did you check whether your card is clocking up properly? Is that about right? Also, I tried to attach the vBIOS file, but I am unable to upload due to "Invalid file" error. Would it be best for me to just e-mail it to you?

svl7 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Just pack it in a .zip then it will work.Not sure about the clocks, can't tell from this screenshot... you can easily check it though, click on the '?' sign in GPU-Z and click "start render test" then open the sensors tab and your core clock should report 706MHz, if that's not the case something's wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Johnson Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Just pack it in a .zip then it will work.Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.11E0.zipI logged a stress test I completed, and attached it below. Maybe it can help more because it's more in depth.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M Stress Test.zipIt would appear the GPU Clock is maxing out at 862.3 MHz, and the GPU Memory Clock is maxing out at 1002.4 MHz.Here's the specifications on NVIDIA's website:http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gtx-770m/specificationsThanks again for everything! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
