iTzZent Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 You need 3 things:1. the 51x Bios Zippyshare.com2. a new Heatsink: New MSI MEDION Heat Sink nVidia GTX780 GTX770 E31-0406580-Y31 | eBay or New MSI MEDION Heat Sink nVidia GTX670MX GTX675MX GTX680M E31-0406162-Y31 | eBay3. the proper Card: MSI GTX770 M Nvidia GTX 770M GPU 3GB MXM 3.0 N14E-GS-A1 | eBay because this is the MSI Version of the Card, you don´t new modified driver !alternatively you can directly buy the GT72 upgrade kit, this costs about 500Euro with a 970M. Since you have the X-bracket removed from the back side of the card and just buy a heat pipe because only (Kepler versions of the above are compatible after you have modified it)From where you are ?

kman4you Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 @iTzZent as u'have suggested 51x bios to ShinGlacier for upgrading the gpu of 7xxm series.so his notebook's bios recognize and detect 7xxm series gpus.i also have the same notebook gt60 0nc with dead gtx 670m. and i've taken a gpu gtx 580m from friend's alienware m18xr2. but problem is that gpu is not recognized by my gt60. is there any bios available ? so that 580m is recognizable by my gt60.

ShinGlacier Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Do you know if the 870M would work? Since it's better than the 770M and not as expensive as the 970M i would go with a 870M for now, if it is compatible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTzZent Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 2GB Version of the GTX580M ? Than try to flash the MSI vBIOS: VGA Bios Collection: MSI GTX 580M 2048 MB | techPowerUp after finishing flash procedure you must reboot and than you must use the modified driver from laptopvideo2go.
