if you really want to know if there is a bottleneck ,like exactly ,run a game in window mode and run gpuz and be viewing the sensor tab look at the "perfcapreason" it will tell you , but my opinion and gut feeling the bottleneck is ether power , temps or throttling

did it work?

when i had the 870m on my older laptop i only did 12.5 on nvidia inspector i was too scared at the time to try more due to the 180 watt power brick limit lmao! glad its working (somewhat lol) you can mess with it with the bios keplar tweaker on boost states but it varies from card to card CHEERS!

got my fingers cross'd for you

very interesting indeed any crashes ? are you able to go passed 60+ ? i think the max is 135+ nvidia inspector grayed out for voltage?

as far as i know gpuz wont show (modded) but i do know nvidia inspector will show if its modded or not so even with an over clock its still stuck at 967mhz? you can also give this a shot

i have a dual screen set up most of the time i run a game on one screen and look at gpuz on the other however gpuz has a benchtest

this is the bios on the second image are the phase states ( p00 p01 p05 ) if its stuck at 967mhz for some reason it's stuck P05 state will look into this some more for you whats the cpu ? it should have the intel hd graphics ?

do you have GPUz it should show the clocks and will show whats holding the card back as for the device manager if right clicking the gpu doesnt work in properties it should allow you

when your flashing are you doing --index -0 -6 gtx870m3g.rom ? it should override board id mismatch also is the gpu disabled in device manager before flash ( lol just checking ..one can never be too sure ) hope it works! best of luck cheers!

try this one the stock clock is the same 941 mhz but it can boost to 1058mhz and if the cooling is right it will hit 1071mhz and you can still overclock it gtx870m3g.rom as far as power 230 watts is plenty

i just had to comment.... absolutely fantastic mod very impressive

i have a modded bios on my hp gtx 870m but it's non uefi , will check your bios to see if it uefi or not for compatability, my gtx 870m is 3gb as well. just curious what wattage is the power supply that you are using ? my 870m would power throttle i used at first a 150 watt powersupply then up'd it too 180w use GPUZ and run a game in the backround to see if there is a power limit

in the circles those are too high they need to be shorter the one by the arrow you can sand down

you might need to mod it with a power tool (cut or sand off) the extra piece of aluminum that touching the card , i had to go to a metal shop to get it done

yes the 880m is like 6 times better then the m6100m, even a gtx 780m 4gb or 770m 3gb is better

i have done it , you will have to edit the bios or download one but fair warning once the bios is flashed for some reason the uefi mode doesnt work you may get a blank screen before booting to windows ,if that happens you will have a hard time accessing the system bios , i still have my old 870m 3gb ,it boost up to 1029 mhz temps at 79 to 81c you can also over clock the memory 500+ mhz and should run fine

awesome , i just had to refresh my page (thanks)

you may need to mod the heatsink, if its the same one from the old gpu and clean the thermal grease from the memory chips , only the core chip should have the grease . use this for cooling the memory chips https://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-GPU-CPU-Heatsink-Cooling-Thermal-Conductive-Silicone-Pad-100mmx100mmx1mm-E/163642681332?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3D17daa89786af4c46aa4e660031c6a9ce%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D233248753774%26itm%3D163642681332&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 and you will need to cover the mosfets as well with thermal pads your bios is fine , if the heatsink makes direct contact to any resistors, mosfets or the voltage regulators it will create a short on the board that may be the reason it wont even turn on ,to protect the motherboard this happen to me on a GX60 i could not get it to boot due to part of the heatsink making direct contact to one of the R22 voltage regulator i marked the picture with the card the red area needs the thermal pads the blue area needs to be clean and dry and needs thermal pads the green area needs to be clean and dry the purple needs to be cleaned there are also probes (the gold dots) that needs to be dry i marked the mosfets with a white line somewhere in that mess is a short that maybe cause the pc not to boot when the card is installed

hello there i,ve been here for about a month in case anyone needs help with old msi GT80 on installing a pascal card on there machine i can help , i managed to install a gtx 1060 on an old msi gt80 (4980hq) its alittle tricky if you dont want to mod your bios ,but doable

do you get a blink by the power button ? what bios version do you have ? by any chance can you include a screen shot or picture of the laptop without the lid ? (where the gpu is located) and also of the bios does your laptop have esata connector in the back or display port?

hello there does anyone know if this file is till available? i have a GX60 and custom laptop that has the ms-1762 but its not msi its (powernotebooks.com) but there out of bussiness can anyone help? and by any chance would this also work with a msi gt660r?

hello there i have old GT660R and a GX60 that i am repairing and i am wondering if a bioses is included in the download above , i have tired downloading it but the next page i get this error are these bioses still available?

it can be replaced ,however the mxm slot is a unique form factor ( shape ) you can make due to an mxm 3.0A but i think the highest is a gtx880m here one from ebay that might work https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-G750JZ-MXM-Video-Card-60NB04K0-VG1020-NVIDIA-GTX-880M-GDDR5/111950021354?hash=item1a10bdc2ea:g:M7UAAOSwo0JWMjoA
