Question 1: No, it is the same. MSI doesn't blacklist or whitelist GPUs, that's why they generally have the best compatibility with other vendors' cards.
Question 2: Yes, some functions may not work properly. The update date doesn't really matter... most of the updates are useless and MSI doesn't provide changelogs so only they know what's really been changed.
Shoot, that means that I don't understand why this GTX670M is not working. I bought one for a steal and it just gives me no boot. Blank black screen.

Can anyone think of a reason that a retail MSI GT780DX-406US machine would get nothing but a black screen with a GTX670M?

Does the GT780DX bios contain any specific allowances for specific video cards?
do the white book bios mess up a retail notebook if you use them on it? The white book bios seem more up to date than the retail laptop.

It was an ebay card from a vendor down in the bay area (408 area code phone number). I didn't have to do anything except take the bottom cover off and remove the fan/heatsink to get at the videocard, so no cables were touched. I can swap the 570M back in with no issues at all.
I tried the HDMI output to my only available TV and it just said format not supported, so I am not sure what exactly it was outputting if anything on the HDMI.
Once I get to 5 posts I might try your unlocked bios Xonar, but I suspect that is not going to change much.
I guess I can use some vbios tweaking tools to setup my 570M to match the 670M settings.
Its not a huge deal, it was just a really good price so I figured I would give it a try.
