Hi, Just wondering if there is an unlocked bios for the Lenovo E580. I can provide a BIOS dump if necessary. Thanks in advance, Brett.

Is it the one that Ken Lee from Gentech dumped or is it a different one. I have tried Ken's vBIOS and its OK, its just that the core speed is 771MHz. I am after a completely stock 680m(ES) FD vBIOS. I believe the one from ken was a dump from a retail GT70 so its OEM not ES. If you are allowed to link to the FD vBIOS, that would be awesome and thanks for your help. Brett

Any Idea where one can obtain the FD vBIOS? Thanks

Hi I have a GT70-OND w/680m and have flashed the BIOS to that above version. Its working well, heaps of settings, but is it fully unlocked? I do not seem to have RAM overclocking or XMP profiles etc. I unlocked the BIOS on my old GT780DX and found it had these RAM overclocking settings. Does this mean that you cannot adjust memory speeds and timings on GT70 (ivy bridge)?? Also does anyone know what all these settings do? Would be nice to have a guide... - - - Updated - - - That is correct. Just remember that this BIOS defaults to RAID so you will wanna change that on first reboot if you don't have a RAID array present. Your machine will BSOD otherwise. If you follow xonar's instructions you will be fine.

OK I have had time to test both the MSI vbios' and they both seem fine stability wise, its just that with the V1 there were some clock speed fluctuations in games. With the V2 version however, the clock speed in games was locked to 929Mhz and stayed there for the hour that I tested it. Rock solid by the way.... Sooo I have decided to stay with the V2 but I was wondering if you could adjust the clocks a little for me that would be awesome. I would like 900 on the core and 1100(2200) on the memory with no other changes. I thought the mem speed on these OV's was supposed to be at 2200, mine is at 1800, I still have to oc with inspector to get my 2200 mem. Anyway if you could do that for me let me know and I will send you a donation for your efforts. Cheers Brett

I've just sent you a PM.

Where can one obtain the saltius unmodified version? In fact is there anyone out there that could modify the 680m vbios for me? I mean someone with access to all P- state clocks and voltages and hopefully memory voltages too... If anyone is able to do this for me, I am willing to donate to them for their efforts. Thanks

Thanks killer. It's working now. You're the best!! What a great card, now for some vbios mods heh heh Just out of interest the asic quality on this particular 680m is 92%. Does anyone else with a 680m have such a high asic? This card will do 900/2200 with no voltage mods, it will be interesting to see how far I can go with the MSI modded vbios' By the way, what is the difference in the 2 OV versions. I need to know clock rates and voltages. Thanks

Here are the device id's PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_11A0&SUBSYS_09641462&REV_A1 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_11A0&SUBSYS_09641462 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_11A0&CC_030000 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_11A0&CC_0300 Thank you for your help Brett

Thanks. I will do that asap. Do you need the inf or nvcv files as well?

I have tried heaps of drivers including msi's own 680m driver. Nothing works, same error message. I really think the machines bios is locking out cards that are not msi bios. I will try flashing the modded vbios when possible and go from there. I read somewhere that you need paramaters for vbios flash, does anyone know what they are? Thanks for the help

Hi Everyone I am trying to get a Clevo GTX680m to work in my GT70-OND. The card works fine and runs in VGA mode but I cannot seem to be able to install any drivers. I keep getting the error message "This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware". I am assuming its a Clevo card because I bought it from Eurocom. Do I have to flash the MSI vBIOS for it to be able to work? My machine has the latest BIOS and EC versions which are supposed to support the 680m so its weird that I cannot install the drivers. I've tried heaps of versions including ones with modded inf's and still no luck. If anyone is able to help me it would be greatly appreciated. Brett

Hi I am trying to download the above msi vbios files but I don't have permission to access the page. I have just registered on your forums, is that enough or is there something else I have to do to be able to download these files. Thanks Brett
