The BIOS uses the GPU code to generate the model, obviously if you use slightly different hardware it can make it go a bit funky![]()
Glad it's working and ALWAYS take a backup of whatever bios you are using![]()

No more modded INFs! This is great news for anyone that has 970m or 980m upgrades. I can't ensure it will also work on your systems though. It didn't play nice with mine until I used MSI latest Bios. Though I find it weird it worked fine until I installed the Nvidia Drivers and hit reboot.
Note: I am still using my rather old EC firmware from the first post. I still have not flashed the latest EC firmware that is suppose to have N16E compatibility according to the release notes. At this point if everything continues to work great I won't bother.

The BIOS shows the correct model due to GPU detected. -

Make sure you have the original on the usb ready to go just in case!
I have tested the vBios in BF4 for about an hour or so tonight, OC and rock solid just like the Clevo vBios. My upgrade is now fully complete.... until the 10XXM series -
Can post a USB flash drive bootable? cant find one yet.. ThanksLast edited: Dec 8, 2014 -
Also it seems a Clevo barebone based setup.Last edited: Dec 8, 2014 -
Talon, could you tell me how did you back up your system BIOS?
-
for extract anf flash bios require nvflash 5.196
for extract you disable vga card driver in system control panel, run nvflash for backup or flash vga, after, reboot and re-enable drivers vga
my bios vga is 84.04.22.00.11 970m gtx 6gb clevo (not require inf mod)felix3650 likes this. -
Where is the page for 980M bios update?
-
What you experienced happens because the laptop is running off of the Intel GPU. Opening Afterburner or any GPU monitoring program will make the nVidia GPU active, and then nVFlash will be able to see it and flash the vBios.
The same thing happens to me every time I go to flash the vBios and forget to open a GPU monitoring program before hand.Last edited: Dec 8, 2014Talon and everythingsablur like this. -
So if I have an GT60 OND can I flash to the latest bios for a newer GT60, or am I stuck with the last one MSI put out for it (sometime in 2013)?

Hey Troy, I ordered 980M from Nexoc too and I was wondering if you received any tracking number for your order from the store when they send the package? Shame that this forum have no PM system, or at least I can't find it...
-
Mmmmm what should I do if I want to swap the 675mx from my GT70 (I7 3630QM Ivy Bridge) for a 970M ?
Should I just flash the V-bios of the card and it'll work or is there more to do ?
(Amazing tutorial) -

Good news about the BIOS update! Hope can find a MSI 980m bios to go with the mod

Please post the 980m bios!

You have to go beg over in the GT72 980m owners lounge.

). Which then no longer requried a modded INF file, because it's a recognized configuration that MSI is selling.
I'm looking to update to a 980m sometime soon, I hope. Lol. Seeing as MSI hasn't made a GT60 with a 980M yet, I wonder if the machine will still require a modded INF file even after installing the MSI vBios on the 980m, and installing the latest BIOS from MSI's site for the 2OD model? I'm guessing it will still require the modded INF. I hope I'm wrong though. -
I don't think MSI will release a GT60 or 70 with a GTX 980M and will make this gpu exclusive to the GT 72, because it would make the cheapest GT72 worthless, they would self-compete (In my country, you can buy GT72 GTX 970M for 1500€, if they release a GT70 980M around this price, I doubt many would buy the GT72)
But the MSI resellers already upgraded to the GTX 980m, like Medion : http://www.medion.com/de/shop/demnaechst-bei-medion-medion-erazer-x7835-md99063-30018226a1.html -

MXM cards typically uses the same brand of VRAM IC thus flashing to a different manufacturer's VBIOS does not cause problems most of the time.
Otherwise, artifacts can happen should VRAM configuration mismatches.lksPrince, januszzbych and felix3650 like this. -
This is the why my 970m cant start..
View attachment 118601
Updated the intel chipset 4000 with the latest one and inf7 drivers too...still Intel 4000hd working as 3d card for my nb...
I think i better ask people who knows how to edit this nvcvn.inf for the nvidia driver... -
can give me a dump vbios of GTX 970m 6gb that came from an MSI GT60/70. not the one with the GT72. I'm going to check on something.. Thanks a lot -

Kevin thanks....
@All
Another question.. Is it possible to disable the following in an unlock bios? IGP : disabled (integrated graphics) PEG : enabled ? I can see these options in my nb though. AW 17 is also muxeless (except for AW18 and GT72 which is muxed) and AW users can disable this option for their 9xx card to function properly.. Dunno with msi but will try it. I know how to reverse if something goes wrong. Just unplug the wires of cmos batt hehe -

Below is how they are connected to each other.
Internal display <-> Intel HD Graphics <-> Nvidia Graphics. -
Meaker@Sager Company Representative
Well you can disable the IGP but as Kevin points out you will loose the internal display (and VGA on those models with a VGA port) so there is no point as the dedicated ports are always dedicated anyway.
-
why is there an error?
Kevin,
the vbios file you gave me came from GT60/70 series? how come can't update vbios?ID E910 does not match with ID E 905
Can I force this to update? the one that you linked is with optimus which I think is needed by my nb.... can help me if it's possible ? ThanksAttached Files:

Try also adding a -4 and -5 before the -6.

Omega there is no GT60/70 with 6gb vram. Don't flash a 3gb card vBios! Pretty sure you'll beick your card. Why don't you use the vBios I sent you. It came from a gt72 and works perfectly. Optimus too.

Try this one Omega:
