Swick1981 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 @haXBOXpro I'm glad Everything is working out for you. I'm still trying to see if I can tweak the bios a little more since there are enhancements I can add to the SATA Controller for ppl running in AHCI (Instead of raid) cause there are a lot of tweaks that'll help with performance. However, I'm working on the m17xR4 at the moment to see if I can get them legacy support, too. - PLUS, all the updates that the m18R2 bios has as well. But, I will, at some point, come back to the R2 - since it's the main machine laptop I use, I WILL get back to it, that's for sure. ANY speed increases are obviously something I want. heh Thanks again for the kind words! I hope to get MORE of the alienware systems that are UEFI the support, too, soon! Thanks, Swick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @J95 I'll be back soon to the arena, I am all the way focus on my master degree final project, but I will be back i would also like to know if 364.72 is safe on windows 10. i am currently running the older 352.84 peg mod but have heard rumors of the newer drives nvidia put out burning out machines. just wondering why should we avoid gfe?

Better than 352.84. OC'ing is more stable with this driver, temps are ~2°C cooler. Also both CPU/GPU fans quit on me, waiting for replacement Edited June 13, 2016 by Solo wing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was directed here by @Mr. Fox to try and fix some issues im having in windows 10 with low usage. ok since this is different than im used to modifying video drivers i have to go full noob on you guys i apologize i just want to make sure i have it right -i download the video driver from this list then run it. -than go into the driver folder and delete all the folder EXCEPT what you are showing here -download the nv_display.inf file you have above and replace the one thats inside the display.driver folder -run the setup.exe / custum / clean install -enjoy im running on the A12 bios its not unlocked and im running a 780m SLi there is no modded needed for the nvdmi.inf anymore with this method? and i read that is a gtx 1080 desktop driver? is there any compatibility issues with this method since its not a mobile graphics driver? again sorry for the noob questions its just different then what i have been doing for the last few years.

I see you found it. I sent you a message with more detail. The INF is already modded for you. It's more of a mod than just your hardware ID. @J95 did some magic stuff to help stop the nonsense Alienware has developed a reputation for, and fixed some of NVIDIA's cancer crap. Sister @BigBr0ski was having troubles very similar to yours and this driver mod cured all of her woes, or so it seems. You might want to look into using this new unlocked BIOS. The stock locked BIOS is trash. I had it on my M18xR2 before I sold it to the guy that developed the new mod and a lot of people are very pleased with it.
