Raykahn Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hello,I just upgraded my 7970m to a 980m and have run into some problems that are preventing the 980m from running properly.I have gone through the run of things;updated bios to the latest prema one listed here.uninstalled old driver stuffsput the new card inupdated vbiosinstalled drivers**The main issue I can tell I am having is with drivers. I am using windows 7 64-bit. The only ones I have been able to get working is 347.90, and something about it just isn't quite right. It recognizes and labels the 980m, but then nothing utilizes it. No benchmarks, no games, and definitely not the desktop display (I tried disabling the intel hd 4000 and the 980m said it didn't support aero lol).In the drivers options I set the global settings to always prefer the nvidia card over the onboard stuff, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I have tried modifying the .inf to some other driver versions but I must be missing something because I have yet to get that to work on my own.While the 347 drivers are in GPU-Z sees all the correct information.The Hardware ID listed in device manager is: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_71021558Is there something obvious I am missing? I could really use some help here.- Raykahn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiwepa Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Do you have disabled driver signing check? Maybe it can help doing that. When booting hit F8 key, then choose "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" and try to install again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raykahn Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have tried that but no luck with it.EDIT: Update here, got 350.12 working with it after continued tinkering with it. I don't appear to have all the bells and whistles though (like no shadowplay). Is there something extra I must do for that?EDIT2: I am silly and realized I needed to download nvidia experience stuffs separately (To be fair I've been primarily using AMD since X1900XT was the top card lol), so everything appears to be working flawlessly. Super pleased with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbsammich Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Shadowplay is installed separately from the driver along with GeForce Experience yes? I usually don't install it. When you say you don't have all the bells and whistles, do you mean the options in the NVIDIA Control Panel? The only option I've ever had was 3d Settings, both with my 670mx and the 980m. The rest of the normal NVIDIA options aren't there...something to do with Optimus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfraser Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Maybe you should have gone with an AMD card since that's why you're replacing. How did you even do that? Where did you even get a mobile GPU?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfraser Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I didn't say there's anything wrong with that. Besides, I prefer Nvidia over AMD any day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marteng Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thank you all for your help. Prema already helped me out and my girlfriend now enjoys a GTX970m in the aged P150EM while playing farmville like stuff I now changed to a P770ZM which is a real monster together with a i7-4970K, GTX980m and Samsung SM951. And it's completely quiet while surfing the web or at office work. No need for a seperate desktop. I remember the time when disk IO was the biggest bottleneck with laptops. Things can change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormyandcold Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Ok, first-off we use MXM3.0b mobile graphics cards which IS upgradable. 2nd, with these kind of laptops the cpu is removable and so is the memory for full upgrading/maintenance.As for what's available, well, just do some research on Intel mobile Ivy Bridge and Haswell CPU's. Then check this for gfx options available (mainly high-end store). Eurocom VGAI thought the GPU and CPU of a laptop were soldered to the motherboard.

Guest Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Stateside only Eurocom & Mythlogic will send you pre-flashed cards and a P1x0EM v3 BIOS Mod which won't require .inf Mods and work with all driver 100% right out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
