  1. Hello guys.

    As I've promised I am revealing the way to make 980m work in Alienware.

    I really can't believe that we all didn't do this. Peter and I should be punished for this :(

    "HARU" the man whom should be given the credits used only win8.1 with UEFI enabled. And he just bought the card and PnP.

    I was WTF? I asked him to send me the POSTing movie of his alienware. And I was shocked at the moment I saw his movie because I never tried win8.1 UEFI.

    So this is very simple.

    Follow this instruction.

    1. put old GPU and go to bios -> Boot -> UEFI, legacy disabled (secure mode is not needed)

    2. Turn off alienware

    3. Put 980m

    4. Turn the power on.

    5. Ta da...POST.

    6. install win 8.1 (since there is no way to install win7 in UEFI with legacy disabled, right? if I am wrong please let me know. I hate win 8)

    7. install all the drivers including nvidia with mod inf. (some friend of us in TI will do it for you hopefully)

    8. Enjoy

    postscript #1. Not tested in real game. I had no time. I am very very tired now. It's 3AM, didn't have nice sleep for a few days because of this.

    postscript #2. no magic vbios. so plz dont PM me for it. there is no magic vbios :)

    postscript #3. if you want to use it single, both v10 and v12 seems to work. However if you want to use it SLI, I think two v12 work best.

    postscript #4. I think we need some more test for 980m sli.
