Is it possible to try this drivers on windows 10? I do not know how to make the proper mod inf for that .

Currently I am using 353.62 with your inf and no problem as I said in the other thread. I know there is other people like Mr.Fox with biiiiiiig issues and broken LCDs. I do not know why the hell it happened to them but I would like to give them a try as mine is not broken

355.80 released:

GeForce Hotfix driver 355.80

Does any one has the inf mod?

Miguel, did you try the PSU mod that's stickied here under M18x/AW 18? It seems there are folks that are having success with it, I'm going to give it a go myself when I can get my hands on another PSU for my R1.

I can't think of a mobile rig that would need more then 660W, so if you need more then this it would seem to me at least that something may be wrong with your setup. Though I could be wrong, what have you got in your rig that you need the TRI setup?

Thanks for the info the problem is one PSU (not bought directly from Dell, ebay reseller) We built a PSU "benchmark" which consisted in a bunch of resistors (all well calculated) who load the PSU, one was able to hold almost 500W but the other only can achieve 240-300W no more. So the only solution is to add a third PSU. It will be able to choose if I want to use one, two o three PSUs. I will post pics when it's done

I'm Nikos4Life I lost one day the account (this one) and crated Nikos4Life so if there is any admin over here can join both accounts?

Ontopic: I did not post any more info because I did not finish the dual PSU mod yet, one PSU was very very weak so I decided to do a TRI-PSU mod I will let you know as soon as I get it running.

Sorry if you are waiting but I do not want to share any info and then you can get it working because of a mistake I did or something like that. I will try to post it as easy to follow as I can

vBIOS still working like charm @ Win 10

I can't tell you anything about it unless Prema comes back and release it or releases other version. I think maybe he is on holidays or something

I finally was able to perform a clean installation and a proper activation. I'm using 353.62 (full package) and sometimes I'm having some kind of FPS dropping (CS:GO). Are you having same behaviour? SLI 980M

I'm getting this error but instead of 980 Ti it says 980M, is there anyway of fixing that?

Thank you

NVIDIA & Microsoft seem to have fix for issues before win 10 comes out.

GeForce 353.62.

Is there any inf mod for it?

Thanks

I will test it with stock first and then with Prema's vBIOS.

Hello buddies,

I need some help from you, I am having some heat problems with my left card (right seems fine atm). Even if I applied fujipoly's TIM (17.0 watt/mk) and Liquid ultra on the core left card is extremely hot while gaming or benching.

I will try to explain how I did apply the TIM with this picture:

I think maybe the problem is one the following:

1. The heatsink could be bent. (So if this is it I need a new one)

2. As I did not have as many different TIM's thickness as the heatsink may need, I solved that applying as many layers of TIM as I needed to be sure that there were contact between chips and the heatsink.

One card hits (even with stock voltage) 85ºC or so, the other card is like 5-6ºC less hotter.

Maybe using more than one layer of TIM is generating the problem. I am ordering more thermal pads with different thickness to address the issue.

Hi everyone,

I got a new Alienware 17 r2 2015 laptop a few days ago (the one with the 4GB 980m).

I'd like to know if I can use one of the vbios by sv17 or by Prema.

I mean, I could also do the test, but I don't actually know if after flashing

I will be able to restore the previous vbios (of which I already have a safe copy).

My goal is to unlock the core clock and over voltage.

Any help or suggestion is well accepted

Thank you very much

I wont do anything without the ok of slv7 or Prema.

I let these tests to show what could be used by everyone without a DUAL PSU needed at least the SLI (normal voltage) the CPU is heavily overclocked and its draining a lot of power so if you run it at less frequency you could easily have this kind of results, I think it is a quite good example of what you can expect of this GPUs in conjunction with the M18X-R2 at least is what I found during this test. Hope this will be helpful to you.

The wait is over . Prema did it!

PS: We need to donate Prema, you don't know how much time and effort he gave to us to make this vbios come true. I lost the count of the vbios we tested so far and he was doing this procedure since the cards were released LOL! Insane work.

BRAVO PREMA BRAVO!

@Miguel Maroto Madrid No problem, PM him.

Try flashing svl7/johnksss vbios.

Stock @1202 / 1.0v some cards won't hold this, run valley and start increasing v offset if necessary. Accurate values or it will fail, no v headroom stuff.

If it holds @1202 Stock 1.0v:

"P1"

Core @1202

vram @2505

>Increased v , e.g. + 37.5mV <

"P1"

Core @1126

Vram @2505

From all of the testing results, it looks to me like the best outcome so far is with @Prema vBIOS v1.1 and @J95 350.12 driver mod. At least it was holding stock clocks in P1 throttle state, which is far better than what could be achieved before. This is a major improvement even though it is not perfect.

It is worth trying the @slv7 / @johnksss vBIOS also, for sure. When I was still trying to get 980M SLI to work correctly, more aggressive vBIOS settings with any vBIOS mod actually degraded performance compared to running a stock vBIOS. It might not happen with @J95's 350.12 driver mod now, so please do give it a shot. But, don't be too surprised if that vBIOS or a new mod with hard-coded P1 clocks and voltage causes a drop in performance or severe throttling. I think the problem is possible as much or more of a system BIOS and driver problem than it is a vBIOS issue.

FULL PURE UEFI NVFLASH WORKING!

Flashed from Prema to svl7 vbios mod in less than a minute both cards from pure UEFI system with this nvflash version:

Official link

NOTICE ABOUT NEW VERSION!! READ THIS!! (v5.218.0.1)

With the newest version of NVFlash landing on us (Thanks topway for letting me know!), you NO LONGER HAVE TO DISABLE YOUR CARD in the device manager. NVFlash will do this on it's own and re-enable it after it has flashed. Also, x86 and x64 versions come separate. So choose the correct one for your OS!!!

(Updated 4/30/2015) NVFLash certificate checks bypassed v5.218.0.1: (Use this one if you just want to mod your own BIOS.)

X64 Download Here

Yeah Prema can do that but I don't think that messing w/ v is a good idea/redundant. 135 drop.

So, I guess for the moment that's it right? Not bad at all

Quite impressive your mods

Worst case scenario @1126/2505 (SLI), no throttling at stock frequencies >vram P-states matched<

Disabling SLI restores core & memory ocing.

We have to talk to somebody who can edit for us or for anyone with a M18X-R2 + SLI 980M a vbios with P1 state hardcoded with higher clocks & voltage. I think higher P1 clocks will give us more overclocking headroom.

That was close...

Thanks man, try disabling SLI and copy these settings from sig. Excluding "create startup tasks" 4 - 8 .

As you said only vram matching that is what I did (no diferences between core P1 @ 540 or @ 1126):

Throttling @799 vram.

NV Inspector "P1" only - set vram @2505 leave everything else stock. Run FS.

On my way

@Miguel Maroto Madrid try this:

350.12 Installed, Power off -> remove power cord and battery -> Hold power button for 60 seconds -> reinsert battery/plug power cord. Everything Stock "no P-states matching". Run FS/capture.

- - - Updated - - -

if you have seen the video, you can clearly see that the 99% of the time the cards are running into P1 State (talking about memory clocks). So if we manage to flash both cards with hardcoded clocks and voltage maybe we can circumvent the annoying throttling.

@Miguel Maroto Madrid try this:

On my way.

PS: No battery around so that is going to be the only difference with your instructions.

Current drivers, worst case scenario @1126/2505 (SLI), no throttling at stock frequencies..

Yes but I meant that is not normal that with 350.12 behaves like that, it always keeps the clocks as shown on this video:

So for me worst case scenario = 1126 MHz / 2955 MHz

vram @1393 drops to @1252...?

This was before installing v344.75?

That video was using 350.12. Not quite sure why it drops to 1252.

vram @1393 drops to @1252...? Reinstall 350.12.

Not quite sure why but is not normal, the usual is this behavior with your 350.12
