    I upgraded my GX780 gt555m to a gtx560m from a clevo.

    Is is possible to change the video bios to the MSI 560m version?

    This is what my video card is showing in GPU-z.

    It looks okay to me. If the card is working, why would You want to change the vBIOS?

    As Marecki said, there shouldn't be a need to change the vBIOS. This is usually done because of incompatibility issues or throttling. MSI laptops tend to accept cards from almost any vendor, as opposed to Clevo which only takes cards with Clevo vBIOS.

    Do games perform as expected? Are there any issues you have encountered?

    Games perform as expected. The only problem I am having is the turbo settings. I would like it to downclocked when turbo is off. The program that runs the turbo settings switches on then automatically greys out and turned off 2 seconds later. I believe its because it cannot find the video card because it has a different bios, subvendor and all that is shown different in GPU-Z. It was my last idea, its the only reason I could think why the turbo isnt working with this card.

    Turbo mode uses P0 state while non-turbo uses P1 state. I've uploaded my backup for you.

    I followed Svet's guide using NVFlash: Svet's VBIOS Tuner - [ver: 0.92a]

    Thanks Xonar

    My 560m is now working as it should. Turbo now works, and I forgot the mention that brightness settings using the FN controls were not working and now are. Thanks for the upload.
