SebVolturi Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I bought the gtx 780m from upgradeyourlaptop on ebay, installed it into my m17xr4. Downloaded the driver from seller but can't install. Anyone can guide me through steps by steps? I'm totally new on upgrading. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator BAKED Posted August 1, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2013 You will probably need a modded .inf in order to install the driver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
