I'm not talking about v1.1.1...as I said we still need more ASIC/3D voltage readings. Unfortunately it seems to be a huge 5 min effort to flash the stock vbios and run gpu-z render test. (excluding juang and other users). You can help by spreading the word...the sooner we get this done, the sooner we can all enjoy. - - - Updated - - - @godfafa please post your results. Please Include ASIC screenshot.

@godfafa it's fixed...we still need both cards ASIC quality readings...in addition to 3D voltage *stock* vBIOS. THX http://forum.techinferno.com/nvidia/6307-%5Balienware%5D-aftermarket-upgrades-driver-support-modded-inf-40.html#post138438 Please Include ASIC screenshot.

@tony7755333 Please, try flashing the stock vbios NVFLASH_WIN_5.218_x64 (password premamod.com) and then run GPU-Z render test. ASIC 70.2% 1.062v 3D voltage seems inaccurate. THX. @jjbettcher I need the missing 3D voltage reading 71.5% ASIC card. THX.

M18xR1 lacks UEFI support or a faulty card. Try returning both cards... even better 780M option instead.
