Hi to everyone! today I installed on my laptop a HD8970M / R9 M290X.

This is my system Clevo P170EM - i7 3630QM - 16GB cl10 - m500 480GB - WD 750GB

The vga works in gaming but i want to flash a vbios to make the system more stable

where can I find it?

Can you upload a copy of your current vbios? Use atiflash for dumping.

Possibly, not sure which one will work best, but as you need to flash it anyway just make a dump of your current vbios so that I know which one doesn't seem to work well.

Prema helped me and I flashed the vbios...the same this vbios can't be read by gpu-z....

however with overvolt in sapphire trixx I can reach very good clock on gpu (for the momento 1150 mhz) but the clock of ram is very lock... I cant improve 50mhz (1300MHZ ) either that it causes freeze.

moreover the clock of the ram (1250mhz) is a bottleneck that doesn't let me enjoy the benefits of overclock on gpu clock. Infact on 3dm11 @def the score is p7250 points , with gpu overclocked only a little more....

does a vbios "oc mode" exist?

@ MasterInTheUniverse

I wanna upgrade my P-1xxEm with a 8970M and I read your thread here but I dont know why do you flashed a new vBIOSversion? What is better/different? Do you had stability problems with your old vBIOS?

ok, it's official, I can not reap the benefits of overclocking...it' like if I didn't overclock....

the fps on BF4 are the same @ 900/1250 and 1200/1250, as the 3dm11 and unigine heaven too...

HOWEVER great card on BF4 flies!

Just to clarify...my vBios detection works correct with a 8970M in a Clevo P170EM. ;)

@POWER Where did you get the vBIOS from, did it come already flashed or did you do it yourself? If so, where did you find it?

 

I also have a P170EM. My 7970M failed so I'm gonna get a cheap 8970M.
