By default - GPU clock fluctuate even non overclocked, tried your method - not worked for me
-
3DMark score really disappointed - only 7416 Fire Strike score NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4710MQ,Alienware 04WT2G vs 8886 score on Clevo NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Notebook P15SM , for what we are paid so much money? For this crappy locked BIOS? For this limited productivity? 'All Powerful'? Dell are you serious???

No needed to reinstall windows 7 for you. Simple plug n play. Just clean old drivers and install new one with modified inf. (if you have 980m right now) - - - Updated - - - I think you make a wrong conclusion because krazycarl have AW17 with 60Hz display (Optimus enabled)
-
@TBoneSan - You can only install win8 (and up) with sli 980m installed. It is important to understand the principle of work UEFI. May be svl7 can find a way to bypass the launch legacy instead UEFI VBIOS,and will be possible to install win7 with 980m on AW17 3D & AW18
-
I have AW17 3D with 880m - in case 880m - it have 3d certification, when 880m installed 3D worked without problems, but when I install 980m - 3D not work
-
@TBoneSan - I see your signature - AW m18x. Win7 in your case can't be installed on UEFI. - - - Updated - - - @godfafa - Dell will receive sertification for 3D Vision via NVidia drivers
-
When Dell will official provide gtx980m in their laptops, they will be certified for the 3D Vision - and 3D after driver update will work. You can check it rigth now - you will see: This laptop's panel is not qualified for 3D Vision. So waiting for official release from Dell (for 3D Vision)
-
I think If someone find the way how to spoof 120Hz display ID to 60 Hz display ID on the boot moment - it will be possible to install and run Win7. But iGPU will be on in this scenario. Now the choice is - optimus with win7 or -- 120Hz 3D or SLI with win8
-
On AW17 without 3D not need UEFI . Because it can run win7 on legacy
-
In our case - we can't run win7 on pure UEFI. Only for AW17 3D with Legacy Mode enabled in Bios and connect external display 60Hz. Boot sequence in Legacy Mode - first Legacy GPU built in CPU, second - BIOS. Boot sequence in Pure UEFI - first UEFI discrete VBIOS, second UEFI BIOS. In AW17 3D and AW18 GPU built in CPU is off.

It was Clevo P151SM1 (unlocked Prema BIOS) with core i7 4700MQ, chipset Intel HM87 (Lynx Point), and GTX770M. No problem with installing and work GTX980M under Legacy mode on Windows7 x64. I tried to install GTX980M in my AW 17 3D (2013) under Legacy Mode on Windows7 x64 - and without success. I think that the problem in the Alienware BIOS because in Clevo (unlocked Prema BIOS) everything worked without problems. Today I will try to install Windows7 x64 under UEFI on AW17 with GTX980M - and of course, I will write here. Update: on Clevo GTX980M worked with Optimus (no 3D 120Hz screen on this Clevo) Update 2: The main thing in AW17 3D and AW18 is work without Optimus, and inside BIOS there is something that limits the work in Legacy mode - so this is the reason why we cant run our GTX980M on Windows 7 under Legacy mode.

GTX 980M is working on Clevo with Windows 7. Will try to install Windows 7 under UEFI on Alienware 17 with GTX980M.

I have gtx980m board version n16E-GX v2.1, vbios 84.04.22.00.10 - didn't work on my Alienware 17 3D https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ji21zh8v9hi9am/13D7.rom?dl=0 VBIOS link to dropbox

@svl7, As you see a lot of members are very lazy to look& read all messages on this thread, so may be it will be usefull to publish FAQ in first post?

To svl7, Thanks for your hard work! Due to the fact that on the forum frequently set questions (such as how to reset BIOS, BIOS recovery, etc.) have a suggestion to create the FAQ.
