  1. Hi everyone, I am a newcomer and wanted to send a message, but now I know I can only reach him here for example, I will post it here. So sorry everyone for long post, maybe even wrong thread, but I am reffering here (see ---). Hey @Klem, I think you could help me a lot. I have particularly read a 1,5 year old thread on this site this thread (page 35) where you posted a modified .rom file for the Quadro M2000M for someone, and I can't download it now, so I decided to sign up and give it a try, after using VPN as well, so I guess that link is dead. But as I see after signing up, you are still active on the site, so maybe better if I tell everything about what I want to do. So to begin my story, I have a 4 year old Dell Precision M4800 with a Quadro K1100M, i7 4800MQ, FHD display, running on retail Win 10 Pro (for more specs I can give a service tag later). I was recently thinking about GPU performance improvement, so I have bought a Quadro M2000M card from eBay for only about 160 USD. Did the decision after reading a long forum on Notebookreview. The slot is the same, TDP is same as the better stock GPU (K2100M), so in short: it should work as many people confirmed it. Also, it is a really big performance improvement, so I can use this laptop for even more years without a desktop, maybe it is obvious, nevermind. (Why Quadro?: I am working with CADs too, not just gaming) So, the card I have bought is unfortunately a HP version (but cheaper and new), at least it is described as that, I think can even link that too: https://www.ebay.com/itm/232952540187 I have a friend working with computer techs (not in a computer service), who already helped me in disassembling my laptop for cleaning, replacing parts etc. (even choosing it), so I have not much expereince in either flashing, modding any BIOS, besides replacing parts with a tutorial, but he has some experience in it, and he is willing to help me in the project, applying thermal paste too, which I have also never done (I know it is important to be done properly). I am telling this because I am the one who has the time to look up things, such as sending you this message. The card will be at my place this week, so I don't even know yet how it actually looks (got delivered at other location fine by the way). As I read the steps on that forum, I know that I have to turn off driver signature to modify the driver .inf file (after checking Vendor ID in GPU-Z), and then it should work fine, maybe with a bit loud fans. What I still don't know for sure, is that it will maybe work only with external displays (I have one Dell U2417H monitor and a docking station, as well as my friend, so that's not a problem, more on that later), because the built-in panel is surely LVDS (checked it with HWInfo and Google search), and some says (and one of my friends contact too) that this card works with eDP only, which means I won't get internal screen with the GPU. So my first question is: do you know anything sure about this? The second, and current problem is that, as I have downloaded the softwares that we may need, such as the things I have already mentioned (the driver that needs to be modificated, GPU-Z, even Dell vBIOS for this GPU) but also NiBiTor and NVFlash. I tried to use NiBiTor, but it even refuses to open my existing .rom exported with GPU-Z. I think it doesn't support mobile Quadro cards. So, the second question is, can you provide me a stock, Dell version .rom of M2000M, and tell me how to open it? Beacuse it seems to be NiBiTor is useless in this case for any future modifications, for example underclocking for lower temps/noise. Or do you think, it would even work with that vBIOS? I can't give you specific Vendor ID until we got the card in on this Friday with my friend. Any advice can be useful, and I am new to this, so tried to type everything down as precise as I can. Even if you can send me that .rom what you uploaded in 2017 is a big help. Thanks in advance! Regards, Mat P.S.: Sorry for bad english.
