bondjame12 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 So I've been looking at this GTX780M on Ebay: Alienware M17X M18X VGA Upgrade KIT NEW Nvidia GTX 780M 4GB DDR5 MXM 3 0B | eBayI took some photos of my current GPU/Heat sink that should be compatible with some thermal pads, maybe some grinding. See the pics here https://plus.google.com/photos/110917730069494928611/albums/5889213719355647601The laptop is:GT780DX LaptopModel# MS-1761PSN: GT780DX-277US-MB72678G75S7PBios: American Megatrends version: E1761IMS V1.0H (11/18/2011)Current GPU: GTX570MAfter reading a ton about MSI laptop GPU upgrades on this forum I am very confused on if this will work or not. I don't have any doubts the card will fit but will it boot is the question?Just wonder if anyone has tried it yet or came across anyone? Its fairly expensive but if the consensus is that it "should" work I'll go ahead and try it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator BAKED Posted June 15, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'm also very curious to see if this works, even with the right vBIOS I have my doubts. anyone know if the gtx 770m works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xonar Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 770M works in the 16F2, should work in the 1761. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondjame12 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Ya my reading on the forums also shows that a 770M works in a 1761. I am still reading different forums and blogs etc trying to find more information before I order the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakashisensei Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 670mx, 675mx, 680mx do not post for the sandybridge gen msi notebooks. The reason is unknown, but it is something in the msi sandybridge gen and kepler gpu's. Now you're saying the 770m works in the 16f2, but 780m doesn't work? What the hell is going on msi???

Inches Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yeah, that's very interesting if a 770m works. I thought we were limited to nothing more that a modded 7970m due to all the other kepler cards not posting?? Can we have a link?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
januszzbych Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I`m also curious if that card works becasue it is still based on Kepler !!! ""The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M is a high-end DirectX 11-compatible graphics card for laptops. It is based on the Kepler GK106 chip, as the older GTX 670MX, but offers a higher core and memory clock rate and GPU Boost 2.0. The feature set is still identical."

vimax Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Any luck with the ordered 770m?I'm in the same boat with a 1761 whitebook bought in germany and really wanted the 780m but the 770 would work nicely too, if only we had a confirmation that it works...

Bugii Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 clevo version is confirmed to work.Dell card is not working, stuck on boot splash screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimax Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I'm still torn between ordering a 780M and trying it out or a confirmed 770M. I could really use the 780M as I don't use it for gaming and my viz stuff really makes everything crawl. Plus, used for GPU rendering in octane for ex. it makes quite a difference.Could maybe the 780M need more power? A bigger power brick would do the trick? Would I need to change the battery too? Or should I forget the 780M option completely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugii Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Guys who tried 780M said it doesnt POST. It doesnt matter what acad do you have if it doesnt post.It should run even on battery. For example I made GTX 580M working using 90W acad - however as soon as the card was stressed the acad led turned off and the laptop switched to battery mode. Thats why you need bigger acad - to supply enough power when the card is under load. However the system should boot using any acad.TLDR. 780M doesnt post, ac adapter isn't problem here. If you are willing to try 780M anyway, get a different version - the one tested here on forums was Clevo I think - not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimax Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Ok, thanks for all the help. I decided I need the 780M and I'm gonna try to change the MB/CPU with a 1762 that apparently works fine with the 780M. It looks as if it's gonna be cheaper than a new whitebook with a 780M and I think it's also less wasteful as I can't think of a use for the old parts.

BigKid Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 clevo version is confirmed to work. Dell card is not working, stuck on boot splash screen. I will try this. Just ordered this gtx770m: New Nvidia GeForce GTX 770M 3GB DDR5 MXM 3.0 Type B for MSI Alienware | eBay Unsucessfully tried to upgrade from 570m to 670mx - but no luck - no post, no boot. If I get the 770m to work I'd be really happy as I still like my 1761 based Erazor X7815. Had a really good performance/price ratio and I do not think the CPU (Intel Core i7-2670QM) is an issue even with latest games as they just started to use all 4 cores... I'd expect at least x1.5 speed upgrade - however not more as I was able to OC the old beast to whooping 1600Mhz (800Mhz Base clock) with a modded bios. Will keep you posted... Anyway - I'm unsure what to do with the unlucky gtx670mx module. It was from a good seller at ebay and I think it is working (in general - not in my notebook). Any suggestions by luck ?

BigKid Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I really need help now. I've bought the GTX770M MXM module and was able to put it into my machine. I can boot into windows. That is the good news. That bad news is that I wasn't able to find a single driver that did install sucessfully. I needed to use the modded inf file of laptopvideo2go. That was to be expected. But the driver installation fails. I refitted the old card to check if it is a general issue of my system or the driver but with the old card I could install the drivers with the modded inf. I tried 331.93 and 331.82 both with modded inf. I also tried drivers from dell and msi for laptops with gtx770m - they do not start to install. Yet to try one of those with modded inf. I've enabled driver logging and this is the first "ERROR" I do see in the log: 65.342 | INFO: [NVI2UI.MainFrame] 1739@CMainFrame::FlushEvents : Property changed "pos" routed to "progressBar". 65.345 | ERROR: [NVI2.NVDevicePhase] 1589@CNVDevicePhase::InstallHelper : Device phase failure Exception {0x80070002 - Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.}. 65.349 | ERROR: [NVI2.NVDevicePhase] 419@CNVDevicePhase::InvokePhase : COM error: Exception {0x80070002 - Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.}. 65.352 | ERROR: [NVI2.NVInstaller] 2059@CNVInstaller::InternalPerformInstall : Package "Display.Driver" failed with error: Exception {0x80070002 - Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.; File: PerformInstall.cpp; Line: 4003; Phase failure}. 2013-12-14 08:19:01.506 ( 65.359) | INFO: [system] 391@Nvidia::Logging::Logger::Logger : 2013-Dec-14 08:19:01 : Logging init OK.

Bugii Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 modded inf is bad.It happened to me as well.Try different.I'm using 331.65 drivers with modded inf from some older version (not the one for 331.65) simply download more of them and try.Regarding the 675mx, sell it, that card wont work in MSI.

BigKid Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 ok... Got it working finally...Someone at msi forums was so nice to provide a MSI gtx770m bios .I flashed it using -4 -5 -6 et voila...Card "rebranded" to msi - original nvidia driver (331.93) installed at once ...Since I'm a german: "JUCHHUUUUUU !"

ligrew Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hi everyone,I wrote about my issue with my GT780DX and CLEVO GTX 770M inside here:http://forum.techinferno.com/msi/4192-ms-16f2-w-gtx770m-need-vbios-please-help-6.html#post78162Which one of you got the same laptop and/or same issue like me?Could someone tell me what to do about it? It has to be something about power/power limit I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondjame12 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 ligrew, I have a MS-1761 model MSI (gt780dx), i have put a clevo GTX770M in it also. I also have trouble keeping the GPU usage high. Framerates will drop then come back up. I haven't tracked down the problem yet. Some possible causes I'm looking into: CPU too slow, VBIOS issue I am leaning towards my CPU, mostly since benchmarks like EVGA OC Scanner don't show this behavior and hold the GPU at 98% until the power limit is hit. This is what it looks like while playing BF4: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ligrew Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 @bondjame12 My CPU is i7 2670QM. Don't know if this could be a cause... What's the most funny? Playing Tomb Raider 2013 the card has no FPS drops at all with ultra settings EDIT: What is your: mobo BIOS / drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
