    Your version might not have G-SYNC, I have the same model and it doesn't have it - unfortunately MSI sells two versions, to tell if you have G-SYN - there will be G-SYNC sticker on the Laptop and the brown outer case will say just "Dominator", if it has G-SYNC it will say "Dominator G"

    Where I bought mine they stated that it had G-SYNC so I complained and I got a rebate, it was a honest mistake on their part since they weren't aware of it either.

    this vBios can force enable graphics card's G-Sync module..but can't support GTX970m 3G,just support GTX970m 6G.
    any one can bak an G-Sync GTX970m 3G vBios and upload??

    G-SYNC is a screen feature not a card feature, the 970m does support G-SYNC the laptop screen does not however.

    Vbios for gsync is different there are gsync vga cards and non gsync vga cards. VBIOS from Gsync VGA is not compatible with VGA without Gsync .

    Read the other thread. Google those that have done it. It works exactly as the gsync models. The difference between the g and the non-g gt72's is software/license based only. I've posted in the other thread my results using gtools, still smashing 10k in firestrike. As long as you have the correct screen and drivers it works fine.
