navydragon Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Did you have the same vbios version? If not, do you have a copy of your original vbios?Hi, here's a copy of my stock VBIOS .https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4d_IooBsyDcSGdHX19FVHFiNm8/edit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thank you very much! You have a different board than mal3x, you can flash any <s>Clevo / MSI 680m vbios </s> sorry... I mean Dell vbios without having to worry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svl7 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 @navydragon: Sorry, mixed something up, I meant you can use the Dell vbios. Other one will cause issues when the driver loads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal3x Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 My Frankenstein seems to "work" both with the k5000m and 680m vbios. I installed Windows 7, Optimus enabled results in blue screen, but Optimus disabled allows me to install the 680m driver, without the Windows 8 error. Running 3dmark again.

mal3x Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Ran 3dmark Vantage, graphics score of 21135, which is more in line with the rest of the 680m. Only problem are the artifacts in the first test only. What could be the cause? Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted January 24, 2013 Founder Share Posted January 24, 2013 Try reducing the memory clock or alternatively using a higher voltage vbios from svl7 to see if that fixes the artifacting. If neither does the trick, try a different driver. If none of that works, you may have defective memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal3x Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Alright, so I guess it is faulty memory. I tried a higher voltage vbios, messed with the memory clock in afterburner. I noticed that changing the frequency it to a certain number clock results in no more artifacts for about 1 second lol. IS there any way to figure out exactly which ram chip is the problem? I am getting a refund from the seller, but I could offer a low ball amount of money and try to fix it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 There is a service diagnostic software for nVidia cards, at least it was for older cards. I think the problem may be also a badly soldered GPU chip (board ID with device ID mismatch) or mechanical PCB failure. It would be easier to say something if you did good quality photos.

svl7 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Crazy artifacts Unfortunately I really have no idea what exactly is causing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackintoshihope Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm purchasing an ENG SAMPLE from eBay as well. It will be installed on an alienware m17x R4 .. Will the overclocked vbios stated in this forum work for this card?Further information: I am replacing a 7970m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 This depends on the board you get... I'm sure it will work, but which vbios to use is a different question. When you get the card please upload a copy of your original vbios, then I can tell you what works best. Not all OEM vbios version will work on the ES boards.

Hackintoshihope Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 So I should not try and flash the card first? And the card should come April 2nd just a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adcmaker Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Can anyone confirm if their ES version cards have audio issues? I heard that early versions of the ES card can't get HD audio devices to work and that is a HW/board issue, not a bios or driver issue...

Hackintoshihope Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Let me know if you have any other information regarding this, the HD audio being affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 So I should not try and flash the card first? And the card should come April 2nd just a heads up.As I said, please send me a copy of your original vbios when you get the card, then I might be able to give you some advice regarding flashing etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adcmaker Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Let me know if you have any other information regarding this, the HD audio being affected.The only info I knew is, the card will work well except that though all(??, as there are typically 4 of them) NVIDIA HD devices show up in device manager they will all have a "!" mark. Also I am not sure if this really matters as the computer should almost always have other HD audio devices (typically true, since who will rely only on graphics card's audio devices??). Well, HDMI link now may not have audio signal -- again not 100% sure if this can not be worked around.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adcmaker Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 None of the others were experiencing this I don't think? Can you point me to where you read this?I learned that from my buddy, who bought an ES card from CL that has that problem. He did some research and he said that's the reason. He said one could look at the board and tell if the card will have that problem -- I don't know exactly how though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmetal Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hi,I got an issue w/680m & Dell laptop M6600.In Oct 12 I successfully modded the inf and it works great omly while plugged to DisplayPort LCD.The issue arises when on battery/internal lcd:IF the laptop is left unattended, the screen goes blue, and the only way to restore is reboot (but the system seems not crashed since capslock/numlock works).Any ideas why that happens?I now have Win8.nvidia 680m GPU: http://www.pwrusr.com/uploads/680m.gifnvidia 680m ROM: http://www.pwrusr.com/uploads/GK104.rom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
