Would'n be better if you change to PEG in BIOS to fully utilizes your GPU? I think the only reason to utilize Optimus if you put the new 10 Nvidia series(1050, 1060 and 1070) in some nom eDP Alienware panels. I just tried to do that yesterday and my laptop wouldn't post , and here is why something happened to my laptop last year it BSOD and then BIOS settings were all wiped . I thought that was wired after that my laptop no longer sees any of my hard drives !!! I freaked out and to this day it won't POST, UNLESS I Disable UEFI and enable BIOS and enable RAID (even though my drives are not raided ). As you know BIOS windows 10 modded driver = NO POST I am going to be stuck with old driver forever now without @J95 Edited September 14, 2017 by HaloTechnology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezio21 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) After installing your last driver 385.41 using desktop base on Alienware M18xR1 with two 880M I couldn't use NVENC in OBS. Reverting to old @J95 driver fixed the issue. Also please include driver link in post you upload INFs as @J95 did. That makes life easier.

Ezio21 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Thanks. I will wait for some new game until I install new drivers. I install them only if I need SLI profiles for something fresh on the market. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to disable automatic driver updating in Windows. I would give you the instruction but I don't have them at hand. A simple Google should get you where you need to go.

I was thinking this part was handled automatically with DDU but I must admit that I didn't get the last win10 creators ed version of DDU. Do you think reapeating the process with this last DDU will do the trick ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, might as well do it manually. https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/disable-automatic-driver-downloads-on-windows-10 Note, it will disable all driver updates for all hardware that windows 10 was automatically updating.... But if you're using a modded AW that's probably not much now anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castiel Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Confirmed. This official driver works with AW 17 (2013) + 980m 8GB (clevo) wtich Prema vbios. Even Optimus mode is working great. Can't believe it took so long. I have just downloaded and installed it- plug&play. No need to use DDU or modified .ini files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
