This could be the reason! Before you even installed drivers was the card recognised in the bios?

When I inserted the card into my m17x r4 it wasn't even recognised in the bios. That was a Clevo card. A Dell card is on the way!

You have to unlock the bios and do some work for the MOBO to recognize the new card.

Actually this has been discussed multiple times. I guess you didn't google on this topic.

GTX 780M installation on M17x R4

If you dont do this, the vendor of 780m (either clevo or dell) doesn't really matter.

You will still end up not being able to recognize the GPU even with dell card.

I have modified bios and I have changed every combination under the graphics tab in the advanced section. I actually have a seperate thread about this. If you can halp, please shed some light! The thread is here
