Again, you don't read at all?


With an unlocked bios, set to SG (switchableGraphics) mode,
the iGPU (hd4000) and the dGPU (all pascal series, but same with all other gpus) are routed and converted together to same output signal line and stay active all time. No need of EDP panel because Optimus/Enduro works in this way.

So then you only need to re-arrange thermal pads layout to match choosen gpu (look at EUROCOM offer) or mod the heatsink.

Best Regards, and good read ^.^

Ok i have contacted the guys at EUROCOM the support guy is persistent that going gtx 1070 is no go and gtx 1060 is way to go, in short not helping me out . i have found two variants of GTX 1070 can you help me select the one that is compatible msi is 150w and clevo is 115 watts. i just  don't know which one to order although my instincts say to go with 115 one its more power efficient then msi .

Please explain? What are your doubts?


anyway i'll suggest to Contact user Woodzstack if still around or EUROCOM that will assure you and your gpu.

the only doubt right now is if m18x r2 is compatible with gtx 1070 mxm card, as i read some where that it needs a edp panel and m18x r2 is equipped with lvd.

Thank you for the prompt reply

Are you sure that its going to work or if you have seen anyone tried it before, as 1070 mxm is quite expensive  and if it turns out to be a failed experiment i fear i don't want my money going down the drain.

so would really appreciate your expertise regarding this matter.

Can anyone educate me if its possible as until now to equip alienware m18x r2 with 1070 mxm?

I didnt get a straight answer anywhere.

thanks robbo i find you posts very useful, i am trying to download the modded vbios files now that i am ready but i am not able to ..so do i need the T I elite membership?

i have my eyes jammad on dead rising 3 which is supposed to be xbox one exclusive but is now coming to pc this September

hello ,

i am here to get my alienware m18x r2 tweaked and to utilize the machines full potential ... i would also like to thank those who make it possible and share their work with the rest of the community.

you people did an awesome job

thanks

Anymore development on the mod I would certainly like mine gloss free ... it really irritates my while I play any game with dull brightness most of the time i am starring at my own face..

If I was you I'd use this one: Dell 680m - 80.04.5B.00.02_'OCedition'_revised_00.zip. That's listed on the first page of this thread, it's the same vBIOS code as yours. You can use stock NVidia drivers from their website.

Thanks robbo for your prompt reply ... After flashing the vbios we will get the performance boost or do we still need to tweak the gpu with some sort of software

And can i revert to the stock vbios if for some reason the modded vbios don't work out for me.

Thanks

hi,

i am new to the forums and would like to use the modded vbios for the required performance boost... i have an alienware m18x r2 with gtx 680m 2gb sli installed , now that i have backed up my stock vbios i am almost ready to flash the modded vbois but i couldn't tell which version to flash ...please could anyone suggest me a version which works best for my specification in gpu z i can see the bios version to be 80.04.5b.00.02.

after the flashing of vbios do i have to use the modded nvidia drivers or the stock ones from the website will work just fine.

sorry in advance if you find my questions noobish ,, i have hit the search button but couldn't find any relevant information

really appreciate any help
