OK guys some of us over at NBR have created a thread about the 880m and the new drivers and how there crippling the 880m and possibly other video cards.. we are trying to get movement here with Nvidia and get a response out of them.,. Please go reply! I didn't see a general location for this and since it affects more than just Alienware notebooks maybe this could be looked into for a front page article? https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/754922/geforce-mobile-gpus/nvidia-crippling-the-gtx-880ms-with-there-new-drivers-look-for-a-nvidia-response-/

but tbh for awhile there i refrained from posting because some were just way to unfriendly lol

my bad .. i read that completely wrong... haha shouldnt drink and post lol I thought you were saying it was a dick move on my part.. above post edited..

edited by me for being a dick lol..read that completely wrong...sorry! - - - Updated - - - what Alienware system do you have by the way?

mmm as you can read just like i did he is saying his issue is not a low fps... it is a low resolution wich would be some thing different.. hence my response to this thread! also yes they did purposely unoptimise the game... they got busted and some one dropped the fixes..

NO! it is not your laptop!!!!!!! they were caught dumming down the game for pc so it looked even on ps4/xbox and pc!!!! there are ways to enable the better graphics.. here ya go!

Hello upgrademonkey! i referred you to one of the best there is and you still charged him.. even tho there was a refund after the review I think you should state that you will require a deposit of what the card is worth because saying paying only u shipping isnt quote accurate wouldn't you say..

what about this.. for just using 2 laptop psus.. 1) measure their voltages (let's say that they're 19.55V and 19.75V 2) Determine the maximum current (let's say they're 3.2A and 2.4A) 3) Place a resistor in series with each one that will drop the voltage to 0.5V less than the lowest measured voltage at the rated maximum current OK so drop voltage to 19.05V R1 = 0.50/3.2 = 0.15 ohms (3W) R2 = 0.7/2.4 = 0.29 ohms (3W) Connect the grounds together, and connect the resistors in series with the +ve output. As long as the voltages remain fairly stable, the power supplies will share the load fairly equally. Note that the resistors need to be at least 3W (maybe go for 5W since you'll need to insulate them) and they'll get fairly warm. Also. the voltage to your laptop will be around 0.5V lower than normal. This probably won't matter much. If the power supplies are running without a load, one power supply can feed into the other in this arrangement. It will *probably* be safe. Placing diodes in series with the outputs will fix this, but at the cost of lower voltage to the laptop and more dissipation. note.. this should keep us from tripping at the max value set at the id chip right ?

all right got my second 330 watt psu in and want to give this a go... i followed some of the links for the parts and there dead.. any one got any input? has this dual psu mod proved viable and valuable? have you been past the limit imposed by the 240 id chip.. or even past the limit of 1 power supply? I see ive seen what 380 watts max out of a single psu right? have you been able to go past that point and get say 400watts out of the dual psu set up?

ok so im going to ask a dumb question... I understand load balancing.. and if this is not doing it then whats the difference between this and just wiring to psu's together? ++/- -/ signal signal wouldn't that work also? or would i now be supplying my lappy with a god awful amount of power? now.. I want to do this with 2 m18x psu's and id like to know exactly what i would need and where to get every thing ill need..

its cool.. me and john figured out a work around.. the blind flash works.. but it makes you think that the system is hanging with all those beeps.. beeps for about a minute,..

So things move kinda slowly around here I see.. not referring to you svl7 just saying I would have thought there would have been some input from some one..

Lol Ive only ever owned ati cards.. and when i got my 18xr2 with 680s it was night and day difference.. more vibrant.. brighter.. smother.. stable.. games run great.. minus a few hicups but still playable..

Hey svl7 i recieved my R2 and tried to flash your bios and i get an error.. http://i.imgur.com/MMLxw.png as you can see it says my current bios is A07.. so im stmped.. I didnt know they had got that high.. I went to Dell and tried to find the R2 bios and its not up any longer.. any ideas on how i could try try to flash this? uac is off and I ran it as admin.. here is a copy of A07 from my m18x-R2 http://www.mediafire.com/?nidh7kmffidri9n

ok this may be a little off topic, but in the terms of bios modding is there a way to see what gpus a given bios will except? and any way to add to that list if you can?
