BluHaze725 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hi, I'm new to the community but I'm trying to squeeze the most out of a 680M in a Clevo and have seen suggestions of using Dox's: modified drivers in addition to the modified vbios. Any benefit to that or do I just increase my risk of something getting screwed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xarr Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hey guys. Need help in flashing (in Windows) my Clevo build 980m back to stock for an RMA due to extreme throttling and overheating. It has been so long since I flashed my Premamod bios, I dont remember the flashing method I used. However I know I did it within windows, not bootable USB. I do not have a flash drive handy not an external cd drive for this laptop. I of course saved my stock bios in case of the need to return, but would very much appreciate being pointed in the right direction for instructions and links to the proper version of nvflash for windows 10 x64. Any help greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeton Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi good people, Can somebody PLEASE help me with my case?! I have MSI GT70 notebook. It came with factory GTX 670M 3GB (which is dead now) and a friend of mine gave me DELL Alienware GTX 680M 2GB. The card is on working state, but it seems that something is not as it should be. The thing is, when I put the card in, sometimes the notebook recognizes it, but most of the time NOT and fails to work, and when it fails it won't recover again until I restart. Then when I restart, the notebook freezes and I should turn it off by unplugging it, wait for 10-15min. plug and power on again. Same thing again, again and again. Also, when I'm on GTX the notebook lags and works very slow, freezes, the screen flashes-recovers and so on. But when I pull of the GPU, my notebook works flawlessly (with Intel HD 4000). The very moment I put it back, the notebook starts lagging, crashing, rebooting by itself, etc etc. The reason I am writing here is that I NEED HELP if somebody can tell me what should I do to make the card compatible and work with my MSI, knowing that it's Dell Alienware GPU (and I saw on forums that I can use this type of GPU on MSI notebook):Will flashing vBIOS help in my case?I found 3 vBIOS:DELL 2GB -> https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/128059/dell-gtx680m-2048-120611MSI 2GB (unverified) -> https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/154729/154729MSI 4GB (verified) -> https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/131796/msi-gtx680m-4096-120604Wich one of these should I flash on to my Alienware 680M? Will flashing vBIOS make the GPU compatible with MSI, and if YES, can someone PLEASE tell me and show me the procedures and steps of how should I do that flashing and what vBIOS files should I use. Thank you in advance, JS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Winters Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hey guys having trouble backing up vbios in dos with nvflash?? says this program cannot be run in DOS mode?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
and Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Maybe the download got corrupted. i would try downloading "NVFlash" again and check the checksum. https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-nvflash/ I wish you luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
and Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 My situation is very similar to yours. Good luck with the GPU replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefox Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 This is great. I'll certainly be carefully performing this operation once things stop being so hectic with university. My main issues are mainly with the firmware throttling of the system causing all and sundry games to break. Running the Y510p and I kept getting the firmware has throttled x core event coupled with games that should have run trivially crashing or freezing. Glad to know that it's probably not entirely my fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMonk Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) *FIXED* Used the GPU switch to change between dedicated and onboard, when I switched it back to dedicated the bios shows as modded. Hi, I have a 780m in my AW17 and I've flashed the bios no problem with 'Nvidia GTX 780m - 'OC edition' - rev02'. No errors or anything, however when I go back into windows Nvidia Inspector shows the bios as the original (80.04.AF.00.03) not as the new modded SVL7 one and all the overclock options are still limited as if its still stock. Its strange though because if i relaunch NVFlash it shows the flashed bios as the new modded one (80.04.B3.00.10)... This is the first time using a modded vbios so im guessing im missing something...? I've not done anything within windows, ie drivers etc. Its using the most current Nvidia driver Thanks for your help in advance guys Edited May 17, 2017 by SteveMonk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelargechic Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 So Steve what are your overclocking results now with the 780m unlocked? Going to try the modded vbios on my P570WM, would like to see what the 780m can really do before upgrading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HankGunn Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Is there any benefit to this at all if you're not OCing and things are running smoothly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole reason you'd do this is to try to squeeze a little more performance out of the rig. If you don't intend to do that and things are running smoothly, then no.

jackjude27 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hi Guys, I've successfully modded my Dell 680m bios (Svl7's Dell 680m 80.04.33.00.32_'OCedition'_revised 1.0.0), it appears. On Uniengine the specs read an increased 759/1800. Do I need to use something like afterburner, to get that performance? Or is the GPU just set to that now?

qamar198 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Hello Everyone, i am trying to flash a Clevo GTX 880m in a MSI GT70 I followed the guide (and looked at several others on other forums too) but upon booting from usb and trying to run either NVFLASH or NVFLASH64 with any of the options i get the error "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" (i have made sure from several sources that the NVflash version i am using is the DOS version. Though i am able to use NVflash64 commands (both the DOS version and windows version) while in windows. "NVflash64 -a" detects the GTX 880m in my system. but any other commands (e.g trying to flash bios named 880m.rom with NVflash64 -6 880m.rom) gives me the error "I/O ERROR: Cannot open file: 880m.rom" i have tried this with both DOS version and Windows version (within windows CMD because it doesnt work at all in DOS mode) Any suggestions??
