Quaddragon Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Well good news for me. I got the 2 780m that I bought working in my m18x r1. By working I mean displaying video. I was on A05 locked and was unable to get it to post. All I got was a black screen with one beep.I installed the 580m back in. Updated to the A05 unlocked bios. Switched it to IGFX. Reinstalled both 780m and changed it back to PEG. I got video now so that's a big step in the right direction. Now if I can just get my modified INFs to work with this friggin beta driver Nvidia just released ill be in good shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve135 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Shouldn't be a problem, though when I made the switch I went with the 780's instead as there were more reported issues with the 800 series cards.Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
