Looking for some help with upgrading a AW m17x R3 system gpu (560m) to a 680m gpu.  Bios is updated to A12, OS is Windows 10.  I've read through this string, but want to make sure I get the right inf file for this upgrade.  The 680m is being delivered in the next few days and want to have everything I need when it arrives.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

thanks

I am confused on the highlighted (red) text, and what does "cmd (Admin)" mean?  Are you saying to go into safe mode & disable the driver signing?  what is cmd (admin) is that something I need to type in?  If so where does that get typed in?  Or am I typing in the ---  bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy ---  somewhere?  and if so where do i type that line in?

 

the rest of it, I think I have an understanding of.  Sorry for my complete lack of knowledge on this subject, but just trying to clarify what it is I am doing and where I am doing it :)

Hey guys. I need some advice/help :)
Currently using driver v365.19 on Win10 UFEI boot on my M18xR2. Gtx980ms have premas vbios mod v2. Only noticed the rare throttle here and there. Until I accidentally let it run and drain on battery. Now benching is impossible and games are near unplayable! 

 

 I've tried running DDU and reinstalling drivers but no change. As I remember from long time ago as advised by @J95 there was a way to flush the cards or something to get rid of a 'fail-safe' that might be in place causing this nightmarish throttle. Unfortunately don't remember how I did this previously :/

 

Any help would be appreciated

Hey buddy regarding the "red text" and prepping for driver installation its basically command lines u can use in cmd to get windows in the correct state prior.

Another method If u are unfamiliar is to hold shift key while pressing restart. it should get u to the menu where u choose advanced startup option. And then "disable diver signature" by pressing the correspondent number, 7 I believe. Hope this helps. U can always Google for a better guide :)

Which model? 60Hz (Optimus) you will need to flash A12 unlocked BIOS. BIOS settings: Second Advanced menu,  Video configuration "disable IGP" (HD3000) and set "Display to PEG".

 

Follow instructions above (368.22) >>nv_dispi.inf<<

Hello J95,  I honestly have no clue which model.  60hz sounds about right, but how can I confirm this?  I just got the board today, so I am going to try and flash the bios now and install the card and drivers.  If all goes well you won't be hearing from me, but if not I'm sure I'll be a frantic mess LOL.  thanks for the help so far.

Device manager, please post HWID (560M). 120Hz model does not require flashing BIOS.

The drivers seem good to me:

Does not seem to have any hiccups in Project Cars. I don't play a lot in general though. 3D Mark was updated automatically, not sure if it still scores the same.

Haven't been able to test the newest drivers yet (will do when I get a minute) but the bios toggle still is working flawless, I have tried 3ish drivers so far and after the peg-->igfx-->peg toggle they all work great.

Thanks man...3DMark crappy update, they removed both GPU core clock and vram monitoring graphs.

I followed instructions prior to pulling the card, everything worked great with the old 560m card, I pulled it, installed the 680m card, followed instructions again, however the card is not being recognized on my device manager and the installation of nvidia drivers won't continue because it cannot find any compatible hardware.  I have pulled the card reseated it several times and still does not detect the card is installed.  double checked bios and it's A12 version. with IGP disabled and video config set to PEG.  currently using a microsoft basic display adapter... If I can't get it to work today, I will reseat the 560m and send you the HW ID's info.

 

thanks

Just post 680M HWIDs. Microsoft Basic Display Adapter -> Details -> Hardware IDs

 

Command prompt (Admin)

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy

-> reboot -> keep pressing F8 -> select Safe Mode

  • Run DDU "Clean & Shutdown"
  • Power on -> F8 select "Disable driver signature enforcement"
  • Extract driver package using 7-Zip
  • Display.Driver folder, copy/overwrite nv_dispi.inf  (extracted nv_dispi.inf_v368.22_Win10_PEG_Dedicated.zip)
  • Extracted driver package -> delete the proper folders -> run setup.exe -> Custom install option -> Clean install -> reboot.

Keep these folders only.

So everything went good with the installation, but I've been experiencing this slow down, catch up in the video, it seems like it's getting bogged down for something then catches up and runs at good speed. i play shooters and its very noticable when this happens, is this "throttling"?  If so is there anything that can be done, ive lowered the resolutions in game, changed the windowed sizing to help, but it still seems to do this.

Please post a GPU-Z screenshot showing your card's actual specs.

 

Did you delete the folders above before installing drivers?

 

Thermal pad placement...including thermal paste?

- I put all new thermal pads on using a thermal pad placement for the 680m website picture (http://forum.notebookreview.com/attachments/680m-thermal-pad-placement-jpg.126047/).  New Arctic silver 5 paste, i even pulled the heatsink last night cleaned it all up, i got a little sloppy yesterday, i was rushing to leave for work.  got a little bit on the card itself, but that should be cleaned up now after cleaning and reapplying the paste last night.  I seem to hit 78c and it will throttle back down to 60c, then back up etc.

 

- I followed those instructions and I deleted the folders after the driver package from 7-zip installed them all.  (not sure how i can delete them before they are installed???)

 

- At idle right now the temp is 53C.

78C way too high/stock clocks, even for a 560M 75W heat sink (proper heat sink 580M/675M 100W #MT1DN), clearly poor contact between the GPU die and heat sink + components (thermal pads) or heat sink radiator incl fan are clogged with dust...GPU fan working correctly?

 

1- After extracting driver package delete the following folders:

Display.Optimus
Display.Update
GFExperience
GFExperience.NvStreamSrv
GfExperienceService
LEDVisualizer
MS.NET
MSVCRT
Network.Service
NV3DVision
NV3DVisionUSB.Driver
NvVAD
ShadowPlay
ShieldWirelessController
Update.Core

 

2-  Display.Driver folder, copy/overwrite nv_dispi.inf  -> run setup.exe
