[Alienware - Clevo - MSI] Aftermarket Upgrades Driver Support - Modded INF


J95

Recommended Posts

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/15859939?

Finally I installed this driver (375.70) and the fire strike even lower than before. 

Wanna know what I missed.

Gaming is Fine, and temperature has dropped down, the only problem is I don't see any performence improvement.

and I already flashed prema's v2.

Quote

In the case of Nvidia, Telemetry gets installed alongside the driver package. While you may -- and should -- customize the installation of the Nvidia driver so that only the bits that you require are installed, there is no option to disable the Telemetry components from being installed. These do get installed even if you only install the graphics driver itself in the custom installation dialog.

 

 

@J95

 

At first they got with GFE 3.x and now they are being packed with the sole driver package as well.

Sigh !! first Windows10 and now nGreedia as well...

@Prema clevo 980M v2 vbios.

Thanks, i just didnt want to install before being sure since it says Clevo and not Alienware. :)

 

FYI: I have problems with black screen and Audio/game continue in background, but i have to make a hard reset to get the screen to turn on again, what can be causing this?

Check your temps & check this thread at NBR too.

would your recommend the same bios for the 970m, have same laptop alienware 17x r4 running 3842qm processor

 

https://biosmods.wordpress.com/gtx9/ 

 

Use Either of them and to Flash use the Premamod zip and copypasta or have a look at those commands from the batch files and flash them by going to Devicemngr and disabling them and after flash enable them, No need for the BIOS Legacy Flashing, Maxwell can be flashed from the Windows.

Wrong file, G-SYNC GPU ID 1617 GPU-Z screenshot above (980M-G)  https://biosmods.wordpress.com/gtx9-g/

 

It shouldn't matter DM or ZM for AW, but better ask @Prema anyway.

For 60Hz


First get Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 installed under full UEFI, make sure you have AW OSD to switch Optimus / PEG modes.
Second flash a vBIOS from Device mngr in optimus mode, Prema mod v2.0 / svl7

 

How to flash ? -

Disable the GPU from Devicemngr after booting to the Optimus mode & follow these steps below...

 

1 - As I've said, see the zip and go through readme, there should be a bat file called modme.bat copy the commands from it, and rename the vBIOS to the same one in the cmd or issue the command wr.to the name of the vBIOS you set this depends on you, Run the command from Admin privileges cmd  (Modme.bat, wont execute depending on your OS and file permissions so best way is to run it manually)

 

Third switch to PEG mode, get an INF mod (PEG INF only), preferably from this thread (Need to disable driver sign verification. Install this driver in PEG mode)

 

 

For 120Hz

I presume, No need to use the IGFX switch, Just go to the Devicemngr and disable the card, then flash and reboot and then Install the INF modded driver from this thread, J95 always !

 

 

Also make sure to use DDU to uninstall properly, I use this everytime when I need to update or rollback or clean OS installations.

 

I'll also leave this here for all the Alienware 17 Owners who want to upgrade to a Maxwell GPU, Also this post too as a safety precaution for the MSI-AB and EVGA PX for all LVDS machines (60Hz)

 

Also check NBR for these similar threads (375.86 & 375.76 ) to get most out of your GPU without any perf loss.

 

For now stable one seems to be 373.06,  I personally use 369.05 for now since I don't have newer games than DOOM but the BF1, Mirrors Edge Catalyst might need new Drivers like the 375.76..\

 

Hope this clears out, Best of Luck.

@J95 What system uses that small MSI 1080? With heatsink mods that'd fit in standard MXM systems.

Yeah I know. MSI GT83VR SLI GTX 1080. Although I still hope we could mod the beefier version 6+1 MSI GT73VR NVIDIA GTX 1080

I meant add it to the driver inf.

I have the feeling an MSI 1080 is gone cost more than I would like to pay. The 1070 is pushing it.

Yep, added two months ago.

 

I won't pay 1.2K that's for sure, cutting out the middleman.
