  1. Much better...forget about the OSD, just disable driver signing using F8 method. M18xR1 "UEFI BIOS"...? -> M18xR2 <-

    J95, thank you very much. Why make this item?

    cmd (Admin)

    bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy

  2. based on how 880m is designed that would only be true if you flash the modded vbios, stock at stock boost clocks under some games and benchmarks you can see it drop clocks past a certain power ddraw and temp. with modded vbios it can be throttle free up to 160% of stock tdp of the gpu and 93c throttle start instead. But you must set those with an app like EVGA PrecisionX and have the modded vbios loaded. under light loads the gpu will not throttle but almost all of them throttle under games that fully utilize the cards full stock power. Games from just a year or two ago may not be enough to show that, games like Crysis 3 at max settings and some others should fully load those cards. Skyrim at full Ultra settings and the HD texture pack isnt even enough to use full boost clock while running my monitors 60hz/60fps. So you really need a heavy load to see the issue in most cases. I am glad your setup in anycase has not gave you trouble as is

    Here's a look. Everything I have works very well and turbo boost, too.

    Here is a new graphics after playing 2 hours.

  3. No problems for me with a Clevo P377SM-A with dual 880M's

    No problems for me with a Clevo P377SM-A with dual 880M's. You'll have to wait for someone with an Alienware. For the black screen part you mean running the laptop without external power only battery? Yeah the custom bios doesn't downclock properly and the nvidia drivers will crash if you run on battery that's why you have a black screen. Apart from that everything runs perfect in my part. The battery part kinda sucks.. Hopefully it will be corrected by svl7

    I need to flash vBios mod? The GTX 880M will work better and the temperature will be less? Thank you.

  4. My 880m are working decent in my Alienware 18 but its not stock performance because stock performance was worse than a single 7970m when it started throttling. The vbios which allows to increase the power limit and temp limit for boost is one of the most important parts, making sure the gpu is pasted well as temps are higher than the original 780m due to a couple overheating chips on the 880m 2 to be exact and the fact that the vbios you can get from here designed by Svl7 and JohnKss has a much more reasonable voltage set for stock boost clocks. For me it was 1.018v stock @ 993mhz core. It runs far cooler at 993 set to the more reasonable 1v. They can overclock real high like 780m but temps are worse than 780m and most cant hit the same levels the 780m can hit especially due to this heat from the two large square chips to the outside of the vram on the card. Mine under all gpu tests I have done even do 1020 core at the 1v and never reach the 93c, even after hours of 3dmark scene repeated. I dont use vram overclock for anything but benching so my vram is stock most times, seems to just add to the problem with the overheating chips on the 880m. Sadly though the bottom line and truth of the matter after all that is even if one gets a card that clocks real high and stays cool the drivers from Nvidia are not bringing nearly the same performance we see from the 780m at the same clocks with the same drivers or even older drivers. One has to go far back on the nvidia drivers to get the 880m to perform any closer to the performance we truly should be getting from them. Mr.Fox gave me great advice with the 880m's when I recieved my system and experiencing all the reported issues first hand showed me clearly as reported there is a clear problem with the 880m in where it should be compared to its original implementation as 780m minus 4gb of vram as the 880m is a rebrand with most of them having 8gb vram on board. The problem exists, it can be worked around some but there is no complete fix for the 880m fiasco.

    I need to flash vBios mod svl7? The GTX 880M will work better and the temperature will be less? Thank you.

  5. After I disable my on board graphic card, the score didn't change. But, I find out that my benchmark score is even better with out PSU !!!

    I'm using the 327.23 driver and this is the best driver I can find.

    Look like 880m can't use in my MX17R4, Is this because I use 3720qm and c216 chipset? [ATTACH=CONFIG]12842[/ATTACH]

    And put this driver from Dell?
