So. I installed an AMD 8970M card. Was a bit funky, because the x-braket didn't fit. But I rigged something and now it seems to be mostly working. I get some funny lines on startup for a few seconds before the windows driver kicks in. And the laptop won't wake up from standby. Maybe some driver issue.

Well, thats a bit sad. I got the M18x used. It was advertized as M18x R2 and it had a service tag on the back saying it was an R2. So I ordered that 980 GPU from china. The description said, it would work in the R2. But when it got here, I couldn't get it working. Only then I saw in the bios, that it actually is a R1 and the service tag sticking on the back must be from a drifferent machine. Thats why I don't know, what GPU it came with originally. When I took it apart it was very obvious, that someone had been in there before. It is a R1, as it says so in the bios. I guess, I'll try to sell that 980 GPU again and look out for a differnt card that fits my R1... I only want to be able to run X4 foundations (the game) on that PC somewhat smoothly. With the 675 it does't even start. I think its because of no Vulkan support.

Hi there! I have a M18x R1 laptop and a Nvidia GTX 980M Card. I had the hope to swap out the existing 675 with the 980, but I get 8 beeps instead. I think I installed the unlocked A4 Bios I found here on the forum. Was not able to find a working link to the A5 Version. How can I confirm that I have a unlocked Bios? I did a cmos reset witch gives me the 5 beeps until I powercycle the laptop. Then I see the raid configuration screen. Then 8 beeps instead of the bios splash screen. As it shows the raid screen with the 980m installed, I think the card basically works. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
