Depends, I think you will only be able to flash if you allow legacy option roms to be loaded at boot.

And what kind of technology is bluray? Punchcard?

I'm asking cause that MSR is disabled for any non-unlocked SB CPU and can't be enabled in this case. Sorry.

As soon as I get my motherboard replaced.

Read my previous post. I can't work without meaningful data.

Which CPU do you use?

"It doesn't work" is no information I could work with, at all. At least let me see some graphs of nvidia inspector, including power levels. You need to provide information that is actually meaningful. I can't test all systems, it seems to work perfectly fine in the M15x and the P570WM, single and dual card.

That was just a guideline for people to see whether the card is performing as it should. The vbios is not overclocked by default since every system and card can behave differently. I've seen people posting benchmarks with a 980m having 10k GPU score in 3dM11 and wondering whether everything's okay - well, in that case it's not. That's why I put those numbers there, for people who aren't that familiar with how it should perform and don't know what they can expect. With overclocking you can get 16k+ GPU score in 3dM11 with the 980m and 14k+ with the 970m.

No, I mean 3dMark11. There's no 3dMark13 anyways

Right, I'll add 3gb and 4gb versions when I get the chance. Also an Asus version. Should be up during the next couple of days.

- even more reserverd -

As guideline: With the 970m mod you can expect about 10.1k GPU score in 3dM11 when running the modified vbios at stock, and about 13.5k for the 980m.

NVIDIA 'Maxwell' VBIOS mods Here you find modified VBIOS versions for the mobile parts of the Nvidia 'Maxwell' series. The VBIOS versions in this post are tweaked for performance and versatility. You'll get almost complete control over the performance parameters of your GPU. List of available VBIOS mods: Nvidia GTX 970m - 'OC edition' rev0 - >> 6 GB Version << - modified by @johnksss & svl7 -> see attachments Nvidia GTX 980m - 'OC edition' rev0 - >> 8 GB Version << - modified by @johnksss & svl7 -> see attachments Screenshot demonstrating the capabilities of the 970m versions: >> Read the instructions carefully before flashing! << If anything is unclear after reading or if you have additional remarks, please post in the thread. Flashing: - Go to the device manager -> 'Display Adapters' -> chooser your GPU, right click on it and choose disable - Flash the VBIOS with mnvflash, a modified version of nvflash (see attachments). Here are detailed instructions for nvflash in case you aren't familiar with it. - After the flashing is done: Enable the GPU once again in the device manager. - Reboot Do NOT use driver 347.09, it's broken and useless and won't allow you to overclock, even with the stock firmware. Don't distribute the files hosted here outside of Tech|Inferno. Don't modify the files you download here. mnvflash_windows_5.196.zip Nvidia GTX 980m - 'OC edition' rev0.zip Nvidia GTX 970m - 'OC edition' rev0.zip

Cause 5.127 is nowhere close to being the latest version of nvflash.

Can you send me a copy of the vbios?

Nothing to do with the CPU, it's the memory of the GPU. Can you check what kind of memory chips are on that card?

Home+Ctrl doesn't require an Asus partition. Keep Home+Ctrl pressed and then power on, wait. Did you already try that? If so you might have to provide the recovery file per USB drive.

First of all you might should check whether the GDDR5 modules on your board do actually support ECC. There's a setting in the firmware that enables or disables ECC by default, but that is useless if support isn't there in the first place.

You're trying to push the frequency 400MHz above the default clocks and seriously wonder why you're having issues?

Loss of performance is a relative thing, you're talking about a very specific task, or rather benchmark. Keep in mind that for other CPU benchmarks Win7 performs worse than XP, while for others Win7 is faster. Generally Win 8 and 8.1 is a superior OS to Win7 in many ways. As for the legacy issue - I'm looking into this. Currently having trouble with my AW17 though and I have no clue what the cause is, really frustrating.

Remove the battery and AC, power drain, press and hold FN, plug AC back in, press power (still hold FN) wait. That might do the trick.

... and M15x 980m and 970m, AW17 and M15x Sure, see attached files. Will only work for AW17 and M15x though. I don't know the AW18 and other device ideas by heart... nvcvi.zip

Finally got the cards, time for some testing.

[quote=mitchellpeixer;114421 I've got a SLI 880M kit but the cards are not found by the system. What kind of error do you get respectively where / when do you notice that there's a problem?
