Cool, thanks for testing! So, flashing the bios from 2.07 is no problem anyway, EC works as well now... and I think the ME will be possible as well... just makes the whole procedure of getting to a proper 3.05 a bit more complicated EDIT: @PlaZing - you flashed with /ECP I assume?
-
Kinda hard without having the vbios...
-
Please try with this file instead of the other bin. The stupid error message isn't really helping EDIT: File removed, thanks for testing!
-
Oh, they must have updated it. Then try /ECBP or /ECP
-
Hmm, can you edit the .bat file and change "/EC" to "/ECB" and try again? Yes.
-
So... can anyone who isn't on v3.05 test flashing the EC only for me? Just download the attached archive, put all files on the root of a DOS bootable usb drive and run EC.bat. Please check the bios version and EC version in the BIOS setup menu before doing so. If it flashes then check afterwards and let me know whether it worked and only the EC got updated. Thanks! EDIT: File removed, thanks for testing!

[Alienware] [M17x r3] NVidia 680M Compatibility with 3D Controller
svl7 replied to J95's topic in Alienware M17x / AW 17
If an R3 user with 680m/780m is in for testing for 3d functionality, let me know. BIOS flashing required of course. -

LOL, that's the spirit! Hahaha, I like it. Though that should not be necessary

If you have throttling issues due to temperature then you should clean your system and repaste, not go for more voltage...
-
I don't know... usually I just just system restore when I have such issues, or get back to a working image. If you don't have those options - reinstall. Also check your .NET installation. Since it seems to be linked to a file association issue you could also try ccleaner after uninstalling / before reinstalling 3dm11. Run it until it doesn't come up with conflicts anymore.

Yes, please. But first of all, can you tell me whether the EC gets flashed when downgrading the bios with an official update? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but I can't verify that. You can use the update to 2.07 and then flash the modified 2.07.
-
Thanks. Yeah, well, I'd say try the mod and see whether it helps.
-
Does the GT70 officially support this card? If not, chances are that the modified vbios you find on T|I will fix this. Also, can I get a copy of your vbios?
-
No, your EC will most likely be the 2.07 one afterwards. Well the only way to find out is to try... Usually a downgrade also flashes the older EC version.
-
The problem is the only way to flash a modified bios is currently using the way I described in the first post, and that doesn't flash the EC, only the bios. If you use the official updates (for downgrading or upgrading, doesn't matter) then it will flash the EC as well, but only then.
-
I can unlock it, but the only way to flash it will be by soldering the bios chip / directly programming it. If you're interested I can sell you a chip with an unlocked bios on it.
-
Well, technically it can be flashed separately by software, I just don't have a system to test that.
-
@ all the 3.05 requests: I tried something a while ago, if I remember correctly the problem is that all flashing of unsigned code is blocked in 3.05... so the only way would be downgrade to stock 2.07 and then flashing a modified 2.07, or flashing a modified 3.05, but the problem then is flashing the newer EC... Anyone in for some testing?
-
That's odd. Did you test different benchmarks?
-
I dunno, I'm in Switzerland, check with your favorite shipping service. Shipping it back will cost about 16-19€, depending on the option and packaging.
-
I don't think anyone wants to buy a possibly dead card. If you want you can send it to me and I'll test it. Shipping should be reasonably from where you live.

Disable the Intel GPU in the bios and try again?
