Thanks a lot !
Where did you get the info about this ? I've done throught the Internet two times (that's long :p) and didn't find information about a such thing
The more i understood, the better it will be in case of failure

Hi !
The vBios - DM - is not designed for my system on the top of the list, P17xEM is not listed
(https://biosmods.wordpress.com/gtx9-g/)

I fear bricking the card with a wrong vBios

Do you know the differences between ZM & DM ?

Solved:
How to ?
1) Uninstall Nvidia drivers.
2) Install card
3) flash with the vBios & restart
4) download latest Nvida drivers and use the INF from the 353.12 Drivers (win 7 x64 in my case)
5) Profit !

Hi All,

I just get the "new" GeForce GTX 980M 8GB for my old P170EM (Clevo) and cannot flash the non G-Sync vBios:

 

here is the message for the flash.

Checking with the with G-sync ones, it "seems" to be compatible (allowed to flash) but I assume that my P170EM does not have any gsync. And bricking the card isn't... very nice.

i would like to be able to "see" the card in the PremaMod Bios, the card is working on windows with a little inf tweak.

Any idea about what I should do or have misunderstood ?

Thanks a lot in advance for any advices/help !

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a Geforce 680M - 4GB - vBios update to get it a bit faster.
Unfortunately there is only for 675M, do you know where I can find it ? Google is quite heavy and I don't want to use an unsafe -untested- vBios

Thanks !

Glad to hear it, Thanks a lot everyone for your help !

One question regarding the VBios, it's mandatory to make the laptop "seeing" the card but does it decrease the card performance to make it compatible ?

Hi All,

I met some issue by finding basic information, I have a P170EM (Clevo) with a Geforce 680M.
Using Premamods since 3Y (thanks for the EUFI Boot Mr Prema !) I would like to change the 680M to a 980M.

People said
A "you just have to get a prema bios, remove nvidia drivers, install the card, install nvidia drivers"
B "you have to get a prema bios, remove nvidia drivers, install the card, flash it with the vBios and install nvidia drivers."
C " you have to flash vBios on the card from another laptop (which already get the card set) and flash your laptop with a prema bios, remove nvidia drivers , put the pre-flashed card in and reinstall nvidia drivers".
D "Purchase a new laptop."

Who's rights ?

I'm a bit lost... Thanks !
