    So, ive acquired an old clevo p170hm laptop at a good price, but it has a defective 6990m gpu in it(artifacts). Had an gtx 675m laying around (Thus i bought the laptop cheap with good intensions)
    swapped the gpus and now i am stuck where many where before me, cant get the driver to install. I've been reading up on the problem, and it seems to be a matter of a driver with modified inf. Tried finding the modified inf and driver for download without luck (dead links). The process of doing it manually seems to fail, as i cannot find the parameters in the inf files...
    Can anyone here please help me?

    You may have to mod the .inf yourself for the vendor ID of the 675M.

    @Prema your HM bioses are gone from your site (that I can find) but if he uses one of yours that you could possibly link to him, would he be able to bypass the .inf modding?
