So, I upgraded my Force 1761 (msi 1761) from the default GTX 570m to a GTX 675m. Both cards use a PCI-E 2.0 slot and run on Fermi architecture, so there shouldn't be a issue. The problem is that the computer won't recognize/use the 675m, but knows it's there. On first boot up a bunch of Nvidia drivers and such were installed, but that's about it. It was still running off of integrated graphics. I tried updating the Nvidia drivers, but it said that the card was not compatible (again, computer won't recognize it).
Gpu-z says my computer is running on standard VGA adapter, but some of the stats are that of the GTX 675m. that's the confusing part...
I am led to believe that this is a BIOS issue (it runs on the ever so horrible Aptio setup utility), but I can't be sure. I would flash the unlocked BIOS, but I think that I need 5 posts first before I can download it.
Thanks!
