thank you i've made the an USB drive so that it can boot DOS as explained in this thread i also downloaded the prr.exe and the fpt file wich containes flash.exe and m17xr4.bin. That's what i did after 1-boot on usb drive 2-prr2.exe : flashcheck by sv17 -techinfetno- no protected ranges ser 3-flash.bat : fpt.exe -f m17xr4.bin -bios Bad command or file error What did i made wrong?

i need your help please This is what I have done so far 1 - creation of a usb key to install windows 10 with partition GPT and UEFI 2- I changed in the bios : Boot list option -> UEFI. Secure mode: disabled Load legacy option rom: Enabled (I can not disable it with message "can not detect MXM card GOP driver") 3- save without exit 4- I replaced the 680m card with the 1060 5- When I boot I have 8 beeps for the bios and vbios, I have a stock bios A11 and a vbios oc (which dates)

ok no problem thanks for your help

Thank you for your answer if I understood correctly it is necessary to have an unlocked bios (for me it's version A11 I believe, that's what I see under information system). So This will solve the problem "can not detect MXM card GOP driver" and allow me to disable load legacy option rom.

Nop the 1060 But i have the same issue with the legacy boot option rom, i can't disabled it and I get 8 bips on boot with the new card So i need the unlocked vbios to do that, i you have a valid link to dl it I'll take that Also i don't find the PEG display option on the bios menu, so i'm not sur that i have enabled

I can't download the zip file on the link you provided for the gtx 680m. any help please ? also the PEG display is not available on my bios, is that a problem since a have a stock 120hz ?

Perfect, thanks for your help edit : I just downloaded this .inf file for the 382.05 driver. https://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/31886-geforce-38205-mobile-oem/ does it work on the GTX 1060 for my upgrade.

thanks for your response, so i dont need to unlock my bios since it's not needed, by the way, i have a stock 120hz with a gtx 680m, however i've moded the vbios to be able to overclock it so do i need to get back to the stock vbios before upgrading ?

Hi Ripsaw, what do you mean you don't need mod ? if you have a A12 stock bios unlocked bios is not needed ? I have an A11 stock bios, do I need to upgrade it to A12 or simply unlocked it with a moded A12 ?

hello, can you please give us a link to the unlocked bios you are using for the gtx 1060 ? thanks a lot for your help edit : i see many version in the thread down below, which one to choose for my computer ?

this one ?

i have a gtx 680m (120hz monitor) heat sink is that ok ? edit1 : you talk about this one ?

thanks for the replay I just bought a 1060 from ebay that's why a need your help did you used any special tool to modify the heatsink, or just an 0.5 mm thermal pad on that part ?

Could you give us please a step by step guide to install the gtx 1060 on a m17x r4. A heatsink mod guide is also welcome

on notebookcheck : https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html i found this 3d mark 11 : gtx 980 laptop = 17200 3d mark 11 : gtx 1060 laptop = 14762

I'll wait for the stress test on the 1070, i hope it runs fine The 1060 is less powerful the the 980

Here are my laptop specs : Alienware M17xr4 - I7 3740 - GTX 680m - 16 Go RAM - 256 SSD Samsung 840 Pro - 750 HDD - Full HD 3D 120 hz is that ok ?

Well Done and great work !!! could you please give us a step by step guide for the installation of this 1070, I have an m17x r4 120 hz and a gtx 680m and i would like to buy a gtx 1070 and install it on my laptop.
