thegh0sts Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 So i see that there is 3 files that need to be modded. Nv_dispi, nvcvi and nv_dispwi?you only ever really need 1 modded file. if you intend to install while in optimus mode then use the optimus INF, if you're going to be dedicated / PEG then use the PEG INF file.

Lee James Wood Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 What is DSE ? I also wonder if this driver will install on windows 7 and then show that it is "compatible" for windows 10.. instead of incompatible..so I am off to try it..- - - Updated - - -What is DSE ?

thegh0sts Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 is possible to permanently disable DSE? [ATTACH=CONFIG]15179[/ATTACH]It went to install, I was like "YES!" but then failed.... Looks like the GPU is not being detected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee James Wood Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 success..disabled driver signature- - - Updated - - -But wait... performance is worse then if I was using the HD Intel graphics. Like 3DMark /firestrike give same 1-1.5 FPSNo matter what I do, does not seem to be a way for the computer to use the 980M in windows 10 on the M17X-R4. It seems to only use the HD intel graphics. Any suggestions would be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegh0sts Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I followed @J95's instructions for windows 10 and it worked nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee James Wood Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Okay, so I did a re-install. I booted to safe mode, ran command prompt, did the bcdedit, rebooted and selected DSE and then installed the driver. Still doesn't work. It installs, it is seen by HWMOnitor, shows in devicemanager..nvidia control panel is all setup and the right settings used for Optimus as per usual..but when I game or run 3DMark - I get only HD intel graphics working. Ive been trying to get this to work all night. I am using M17X-R4 and a 980M with SLV7's OC'd vBios. What am I missing ? Do I need a unlocked system bios ? Or is this Optimus only working for the AW 17 and not the previous version's M17X-R4 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee James Wood Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 okay, hold on a sec... how do you switch to PEG mode, last time I seen that option it was in an unlocked bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee James Wood Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 You mean Fn+F7. AFAIK, that will cause an 8 beeps on an M17X-R4.bah why not, I will try it and come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee James Wood Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 And.. I was right, that caused the 8 beeps symptom. Though it did show some vbios thanks to SLV7 and Johnnksss on the screen, it beeps after before POSTING (or failing to post). So anymore idea's I can try ?

thegh0sts Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 oh that sucks...that might mean you have to stick with 7 for now or find a modd bios for the R4, flash it and try again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee James Wood Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 You think a modified bios would act differently ? I don't even know if I can get an unlocked bios at this point, I'm running version A12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegh0sts Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 You think a modified bios would act differently ? I don't even know if I can get an unlocked bios at this point, I'm running version A12.so no back flashing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee James Wood Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I have flashed an unlocked bios now. when I hit Fn+F7 it will give 8 beeps. If I get back again, and go to bios and enable PEG and then underneath that menu I go and disable integrated graphics. I still get 8 Beeps. I also made sure to switch to UEFI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee James Wood Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I truthfully believe, until someone can explain it to me, that - that link, points to useless tech advice, that does not solve anything what so ever. Whomever from DELL came up with that solution, didn't solve anything but instead confused many people for no reason and provided even less solution then doing nothing at all. Flex is the ratio your cpu stays at when not in Turbo. What the heck does that have to do with the videofront of your experience. The 8 Beeps are very well known to be because of video. the reason I am getting them is because the 980M has no analogue connection, it uses eDP or digitally through Optimus when in windows, when its in PEG its host is still present, since the digital connection/path is through the bridge on the chipset connecting to the CPU. This is why people with 120hz screens have issues too, the system searches for a way to do video and nothing is present, because it looks for analogue first, if its in UEFI it can search for digital (because its forced too, stay digital in UEFI). Sometimes someone can bypass 8 beeps by using a VGA display, when they have the eDP 120Hz monitors, and then when loaded just remove the VGA display. Anyways this is all old stuff, that I am not even sure is accurate, but its what I think - I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
