my keyboard brightness controls or brightess in general isn't working with new nvidia drivers - the games run FINE

the 'default' windows 10 nvidia driver 388.13 the brightness controls are reversed but work FINE

but i want to get the NEW nvidia drivers to work with brightness...any tips? 

m18xr2 windows 10 

531.79 is the version I tried - they work fine other than no brightness control 

EDIT:  512.95 is working for me

my inspector "est. max" stays greyed out with newer drivers...im not sure why but they also do not work without throttling out of the box, unlike 353.00 which works without any additional throttling fixes...to be fair when the est.max is greyed out on the 353.00 i also get throttling....maybe hardware issue idk..tried different vbios and a ton of different drivers  ..980m R2

anyone throttling on these? i don't mind trying but i throttle on everything above 353.00 so im not exactly optimistic

also ive asked this before but does anyone have inspector issue after a crash where the "est. max" field is greyed out? drives me insane because the gpu won't work right when that happens, only happens with certain games like fallout4 and witcher3

my card gets stuck at 135mhz on a daily basis, i either click "defaults" in inspector or restart pc

im sure its just a software issue

id highy recommend reflashing prema v2 and putting on 353.xx for starters

^ this is the result i get when i use anything newer than 353.00...it goes from 300 to 400 to 500 to 1000 ..its a throttling mess

have you tried the 353.00 yet?

witcher 3 crashed and now my "est. max" field in Inspector is greyed out and card is constantly throttling...reinstalling driver didn't fix...confused

in inspector now besides the est max field being greyed out under P1 options it says "unlock min/max" where before it never asked that, and if you exit and restart inspector it still asks if you want to unlock...something went wrong but i dont understand what

it feels like the card is just stuck in P1

edit: it fixed itself after i swapped to a diff ac adapter but after 2 hours of witcher3 it crashed again and now same problem....not sure whats the deal here but down-clocking the core keeps it from crashing

edit2: problem is back..i think my 980m is dying tried 3 diff working drivers

edit3: got it to work again, but wanted to say every driver past 353.00 severe throttling for me, including the new 364.96...idk how other people aren't getting throttled on them

went back to 353.xx no throttling but GPU core clock gets stuck at either 140mhz or 400mhz until restart

win 8.1 Pro, m18xr2, 364.72, 980m - throttling, 364.51 was throttling too..using prema v2 vbios

im P1/P2 clock matching like i've been since 353.xx

throttling with and without OC, i think i played through fallout 4 with 364.51 and the throttling was minimal compared to this

EDIT: went back to 353.xx with #11 profiles and no more throttling....

im using 1.9.7.3 when i move the voltage slider up or down and click apply it just goes back to default

364.51 i can't mod voltage in Inspector....using prema 2.0 m18xr2....am i doing something wrong?

@J95  haha you're right i had prema 1.1 flashed instead of 2.0.....feel dumb

thanks

trying to install 364.47 with Prema Vbios m18xr2 980m - failed to install, signature enforcement disabled....not sure what the problem is , tried 3x

edit: installed the 353.06 drivers ive been using before..installed without issue

m18xR2 980m  win 8.1- do I have to update my vbios to install the 364.57 driver?  currently using J95 353.00 with updated profiles

p.s.: didn't see the @prema .rar password listed on TF or Prema's site

tried 3 diff driver versions with the modded inf's ..fail to install

m18xr2 A10 unlocked bios, slv7 unlocked vbios

EDIT: driver signature had to be disabled, solved

they throttle, as far as i know the throttling has not been completely fixed even with modded drivers

The plastic clips are part of the motherboard and cannot be replaced.

this is false, ive replaced 2 broken clips now on the sata connector which is notorious for breaking on the R2 apparently; the whole design of the clips is pretty awful ive had others break like the keyboard connector small one

MOST of the time, if only one side of the clip is broken you can still make it work by pressing it in with a screwdriver

^ i did this , only without switching to IGFX

from everything ive read the 980m has serious issues running on an R2, id stick to 780m overclocked....can be had for less than $400 off ebay

isnt the 990m=980GTX? the new165W one?

wow this makes me really scared to blind flash

i use liquid ultra and run 3940x @4.4ghz and 780m SLI @970core, my temps are around 90C CPU and 75C on the GPUs during hard gaming

id suggest you make sure youre using 3pipe gpu heatsinks and liquid ultra and quality thermal pads

i can't get this to work either, tried 2 different USB sticks, there are no beeps, i waited about 5mins for beeps to start then restarted computer, nothing happened both times

DISREGARD: used the DOS flashing method worked great

tried 2 different usb sticks, followed instruction to the letter, both were FAT32...what can i be doing wrong?

the beeping never starts when you blind flash it, after about 2 minutes i just turned computer off and booted normally
