Hi all,
I'm currently trying to get a GTX680M (4GB) out of a Clevo to work in a Dell Precision M6700.
I'm using the modded 306.02.2 driver from this thread: https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/1597-using-your-4gb-gtx-680m-to-its-safest-and-full-potential/
The card works, however GPU-z only shows a PCIe x16 1.1 connection (the QM77 chipset should be capable to do 2.0), even when I start the rendering test.
It seems that the card always stay at its lowest performance level (GPU core clock 135MHz and GPU memory clock 162MHz).
Here is what I already tried:
- Set Windows 7 and NVIDIA settings to high performance mode
- Flashed the Dell and vBIOS to the latest versions (A16 and 80.04.67.00.01)
- Used the latest NVIDIA driver (376.33) with a modded .inf
- Checked temperature (never goes aboe 50°C)
- Disabled Optimus in the Dell BIOS
- Installed Ubuntu but there it was the same (NVIDIA PowerMizer performance level always 0 --> lowest).
My last hope is to flash a modded vBIOS, but I have no permission to download it. I'm fully aware of the risks with a modified voltage.
However, other ideas how to get the full performance out of the GTX680M are also highly appreciated.
EDIT: Solved. I had to change to an Alienware vBIOS. Thanks again @Klem!
