Glad to know they work fine in SLI! Can't beat $390 for 85% of a 680m, ha.

Yeah, I can't switch to integrated anymore. Not detected in bios and the fn+I/D and reboot doesn't switch over after reboot just stays on the dedicated.

Mythlogic, more on that in the thread I made in Alienware M18x main.

Yep, too right 675mx kills the 580m/675m heat wise too! ill post some screens of vantage if ppl need to see performance of 675mx in sli in Alienware M18X R2, It's got me beat why Dell don't get rid of the 675m altogether and just replace it with 675mx, anyway looks like a 780m is coming my way for testing lol can't wait. The PR guy is a bit scared to release it in my hot little hands in case of a LEAK. (me leak, of course so!)

Anyway Maxxender (picture added for your reference see my card type and bios to compare) did you try resetting your bios to defaults and try using the igpx switching, as mine is working no problems even on the new drivers 314.22 with the unlocked A10 bios. (need to personally thank svl7 for his continued hard work) Thank You!

Hello fellow m18x r2 owners,

I just upgraded the laptop to a 675mx and seemingly it isn't fully recognized by the bios, which just sees it as "Nvidia GTX".

The P0 state isn't recognized by Nvidia Inspector either:

The card can go into P0 with AC power but stays at P5 when on battery power.

Also I can't switch to integrated graphics.

Will a modded bios solve any of this? Thanks

All cards in the M18X are seen as NVIDIA GTX regardless of model in the Bios.

Switching to integrated graphics is done in the bios or on the fly with a Reboot required.

My 675MX's are running in SLI MODE just fine with no problems, Only thing is you need to orginally modifiy the Nvidia inf file to install the driver apart from that all is well.

Great work here Mw86 nice write up +rep!

I ordered 3 a few weeks ago and they didnt ask any questions.
