menko2 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hi.I just bought the 980m and I'm going to install it today.I read that the 980m will have 20% less power in a Overclockeable driver?I'm going to install the Vbios from Prema and I already have the lasted Prema Bios for P170EM.Will I need also to mod the drivers to install it?Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khenglish Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The latest drivers are overclockable and are not a problem. The 20% loss was only true for older overclockable drivers.Yes you will need to do a .inf mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbsammich Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have the P170EM and just installed my 980m. I can confirm it's working at 100% with 350.12. The driver from NVidia didn't work without the modded .inf. I got my modded .inf here: LaptopVideo2Go: Drivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiwepa Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 You can find the modded inf file here: just pick up the inf file, download driver from nvidia (drivers in the link are optimised for image quality). Run the nvidia installer, it will unpack the archive in C:\Nvidia...\350.12; then copy/paste the inf file into the "display.driver" folder (you will have an overwrite warning, if not, you're in a wrong folder)). Don't forget to disable driver signature if on windows 8. And run the setup.exe. Reboot. Done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
