thegh0sts Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I try with 344.75. I still didnt try .80i 'll do it when i got time.so 347.09 = no good?EDIT: I wish someone bought this....http://www.hidevolution.com/alienware-17-hid24-nvidia-gtx-980m-120hz-gaming-laptop.htmlso we can dissect how HIDevolution were able to get to boot with the nvidia GPU and this might help those with 60Hz displays to boot in dedicated mode.

J95 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 @godfafa @Peter18x @mikecacho @faritas90 I need you to test this driver, first install nvcv.inf(1) check throttling w/ GPU-Z (log), repeat tests with nvcv.inf(2). Extracting driver w/ 7-Zip -> Don't delete any driver folders <- Run DDU (uncheck intel drivers, disable driver signing.

J95 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 so you're hoping this will fix the throttling in dedicated mode? Indeed. @TBoneSan SLI enabled/disabled, if it works it will require a specific mod every time...

Darcoder Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 i will try, but i give you in case my id and i see from the first time i look there is a new line who wasn't there: D590A51&0&0008 :? i don't understand, it wasn't there before i try to mod everything..

ssj92 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Guys, has anyone tested the 980m on an Alienware M15x?The 970M works in the m15x, so I'd assume the 980M would as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to disable driver signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegh0sts Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Nope.

thegh0sts Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 so waiting for that eureka moment! EDIT: also how specific do the drivers need to be like "here's a driver for AW17 using 980M, a driver for the AW17 using the 970M"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Brother Fox, can you walk me through this part"After disabling ASPM in the BIOS, including at the individual PCIe port level" ..?I'd like to give that a try and see if I can notice any difference.As you know I'm using 347.09 with barely any throttling..the memory clocks kick down for about 4 seconds in a 3d mark 11 run.. I wonder if it can fix that.Yes I agree..No overclocking is sad. I want to crank these!I am on a business trip and don't have any way to take screen photos, but if you look in the BIOS you will find a menu for PCI Express and all of the ports will be listed when you open that menu. Expand the menu for each PCIe port and you will find settings for ASPM at the port level. Disable ASPM there as well as the other two places. I believe the default is "Auto" and I changed that to disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
