krissjr Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hi guys, my current 7970M has died and so I want to get a 8970M to put in my P170EM but the 8970M I want to buy doesn't have a vBIOS installed. My question is do I need PREMA's BIOS to make it work and where can I find a vBIOS for the card? I've read through numerous threads in here but can't really get the answer I'm looking for. Anyone sitting on some answers? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kothletino Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Maybe stupid question but did you try the "oven way" with 7970m? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissjr Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 No I have not tried yet but the problem will still come back after a few week at most so I won't hassle with it. Thanks anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinlecouteur Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=&manufacturer=&model=HD+8970M&interface=&memType=&memSize=&since= Try this site, these are stock vbioses. Just match the memory quantity and brand to the vbios and flash it with atiflash here https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/. That fixes the no vbios issue, don't know about the laptop's bios though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
