Hello,

I'm owner of a MSI GT780DX laptop.

There is no mDP or DVI-D port.

Only HDMI 1.4

GPU 770m

Is there ANY possibility to connect my notebook to external 120hz or 144hz monitor for example Benq XL2420Z and achieve that refresh rate at 1080p?

I saw on one site, during system configurator to my notebook something like:

so is it possible, or not?

Sorry if wrong section.

Today I changed my GT780DX from dead 570m to 770m + OC MSI vbios.

Everything works great, 5400 3dmark 11 w/o any changes (except "stock" OC vbios).

Thanks.

About Bios, just heard I need unlocked to use Throttlestop, good to know it wasn't true.

Thank You again Bugii, this is all what I wanted to know.

1) use clevo vbios. No flashing needed on GT780DX, it works the same, save yourself a few minutes wasted by flashing.

2)nothing needs to be changed, insert new card and thats it.

3)had the same problem. Remove old GPU, and turn the laptop ON. It should start - it wont boot of course, but you should see at least some led lights flashing and FAN should spin. That means the mobo is okay.

Well, w/o GPU Hard Drive works, later windows sound, so that is what I wanted to hear, Thank You.

My 770m is already in my country, so I think, tomorrow will be That Day.

Anyway, can I oc w/ Clevo vbios more then +135? and need to modify .inf file.

That is the reason, why I want that MSI vbios, but still don't know why some people (just like you) stay with clevo.

Is there some hidden disadvantage or problems in MSI vbios ? Need to know.

IMO, better spend 5 minutes to flash MSI vbios and forget about problem, than modify .inf file every time when updating drivers, or crash when using nvidia experience.

Oh, about FAN spin. Should I change something in EC ? I know I know, You said "plug and play" but there is always somethink to do also ^^ ThrottleStop for example.

My plan was:

-OC MSI vbios

-Unlocked Bios

-Throttlestop to disable BD PROCHOT (saw few users with my NB configuration, fighting with fps drops)

So, where is the catch?

Sweet... How about compare this one to desktop GPU? is GTX 970 much more powerful than 980m in practice ?

For me, bagpack is much more comfortable for every 17inch+, 4kg+ notebook. I used the laptop bag once, never again.

Well, with no graphic card, system works fine (windows sound etc, but no display ofc), maybe it's a good sign. But still don't know if it post with bricked card. Anyway it's good to know that it is fixable.

Soon I receive Clevo 770m for my gt780dx, but don't know yet is it worth to flash with MSI vbios, or just modify .inf file with Clevo vbios.

Is there any disadvantage in using MSI vbios in my lapop ?

What if i fail flashing, or something go wrong ? is it possible to easy fix vbios if I dont have IGP?

Hi,

I have 3 question.

My 570m in GT780DX (1761) is dead, so I just bought clevo 770m from mokkin.

1) I'm pretty sure that it will work, but can someone tell me, is it better to use clevo vbios and modify inf, or just flash with stock MSI or OC svl7 vbios ?

Is there any disadvantage in using MSI vbios?

2) My notebook don't have optimus, so must I change something to work GPU correctly?

3) And most important, my NB won't turn on (power button didn't work) when GPU inside. When I plug it out, notebook works (ofc w/o display).

GPU died during furmark, but is it possible, that MB is damaged too and when I plug 770m, it die also?
