I'd love to try that. Unfortunately I can't find any ROM for a Dell 4GB version.
Should I try the NVIDIA 4GB version or can you point me to a appropriate Dell version?

With GPU-z I logged the sensor values to a file while performing a 3DMark benchmark. The clocks never changed during the entire benchmark. (135MHz Core GPU clock, 162MHz GPU Memory clock)
The temperature during the complete benchmark was between 40°C and 50°C, so no throttling reason there...

I'm currently struggeling to get a GTX680M (from a Clevo) to work in a Dell M6700 at full potential.
I can install the driver and use the card. However, it seems that the card never leaves the lowest performance mode, regardless of the Win7/Nvidia Control Panel settings.
After trying tons of stuff, I checked my AC adapter. It's only 200W. Is this sufficient or do I need a more powerful version (240W/330W)?
The i7 has 45W TDP, the GTX680M 100W TDP...

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!

Thank you so much, I never thought of changing the vendor of the vBIOS.
Now the card performs as expected. And of course I didn't check Alienware as a vendor (even though it belongs to Dell)...
