When I flashed my cards I only used -i0 -6 .rom not -i0 -5 -6 .rom. Could that be the problem?

I flashed from DOS. I can't figure how to do it from windows. If you can link me a decent guide or PM me the process I will give it a try. Thanks.

I use EVGA precision X to overclock and the slider only would go to 135 but the clock would never change. I tried MSI afterburner and same result. I flashed each card separately. first command i used was -i0 -6 oc.rom and the second was -i1 -6 oc.rom oc was what I had changed the file name too and I know it was successful because both cards vBIOS changed in GPUz yet no matter what the 135 limit was still there and the cards would not over clock or over volt at all. I am using the standard dell A10 BIOS at the moment. My cards are both flashed back to stock bios and I know I did that correct because again it changed in GPUz. What could I be doing wrong? The new techinferno pop up did appear at launch of my computer too until I flashed the stock. I backed up the vbios of both of my cards but I only used one file to restore since they both had the exact same vBIOS version, file size, and everything. My computer runs fine but I would really like to overclock in SLI.

Anybody have any success overclocking dual 680m in SLI on an M18x R2? Do I need an unlocked BIOS as well as a modded vBIOS because whatever vBIOS I try the thing just sticks at stock clocks in SLI. I can only overclock with SLI off and I can't turn it off, overclock, then turn back on.

I have tried 3 Dell vBIOS for the 680m (both of the non OV and one OV) and no matter what my clocks stay the same while in SLI mode. I can overclock all I want when SLI is disabled but I still am hitting that 135 limit. I have a brand new alienware m18x R2.

I've read that the 560 will not fit. Could be wrong though. The biggest I've seen put in is a 470 and that is not even supported. The laptop may also not have enough power or ventilation to handle it too.

well Nvidia has started rolling all their drivers into one. At least they ditched the GPU comparability detection that plagued systems.

I like it bending. It means it is actually held in place which is good. The graphics card I got was defective. The screw bores were too small so I had to make some custom screws to fit it.

Your CPU is hitting 100? That will shut it down. Crysis 2 does run hot. Most games I have (even Max Payne 3) runs up 60-70 degrees with an overclocked GTX 460m. Crysis 2 can spike at 80 on occasion

Looks interesting but I will stick with my 460m. I upgraded it from ebay and I'm still under warranty so technically they don't know about it.

cool icons for my m15x. I just wish the OSD application and command center actually updated.
