kiba208 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I bought a GTX770M from eBay. ALIENWARE M17x/M18x; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M;3GB DDR5; MXM 3.0b.I replaced GTX770M to my laptop MSI GT60 ONC that came with GTX 670M;3GB DDR5; MXM 3.0b.It can be play some games that using Unreal Engine 3 with got some kernel driver errorbut Windows 8 recovered it successfully and enter through in-game automatically. (without bypass trick) http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x334/kiba208/recoveredsuccessfully.jpgSo, the other games I must use bypass trick to enter game;enter any games first it will get an error popup and don't close popup then enter games I want.But for all methods still got stuttering graphics when load textures cause sometime fps dropped.I think it incompatible with IvyBridge.In the worst case, I got BSOD messages like "VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (nvkflt.sys)" http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x334/kiba208/BSODVIDEO_TDR_FAILURE.jpg---------------------------------------------------------------------I inspected vbios GTX770M with Kepler BIOS Tweaker v1.25. It came with vbios vendor NVIDIA 10DE. (why not Alienware?)Then, I got vbios GTX770M from MSI GT60 2OC user and flash it result as above I explained.So I have some Questions.- Could it be better if I flash vbios with own vendor Alienware?- Did IvyBridge fully support GTX770M?Anyone help me, or send me an Alienware GTX770M vbios please.

mobilenvidia Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I take it you didn't backup the original 770m BIOS Hopefully someone can help you with a backup of their AW 770m BIOS The 770m should work quite happily with the Ivy bridge You either have system BIOS problems, probably most likely, BIOS may not fully recognise the 770m Video HW issues ie heat or PCIe issues or driver problems, try AW 770m driver NVIDIA make all the BIOS's for OEMs so seeing their vendor number should be no surprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiba208 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) I backup the original VBIOS as attach file included : - NVIDIA (from this Alienware card) - MSI Now, I found Alienware VBIOS from Techinferno.com but in progress to post 5 comments to download Thank you for your attention PS. the result above came from MSI VBIOS. The NVIDIA vendor didn't work. (that's why I worried) VBIOS-GTX770M-2vendor.zip Edited July 29, 2013 by kiba208 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Did you get this card http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Nvidia-GeForce-GTX-770M-3GB-DDR5-MXM-3-0-Type-B-for-Clevo-Alienware-MSI-/281134082583?pt=DE_Computer_Sonstige&hash=item4174e5aa17 It supports the GT60 barebones This one http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALIENWARE-M17x-M18x-VGA-Upgrade-Kit-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-770M-3GB-DDR5-MXM-3-0b-/130918118529?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item1e7b53f481 Only supports Alienwares There could be a HW check on the Video card to check System Vendor # Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiba208 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) I bought from this seller http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALIENWARE-M17x-M18x-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-770M-3GB-DDR5-MXM-3-0b-/121118489161?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item1c33397a49 The seller MSI support I found after purchase the first one http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Nvidia-GeForce-GTX-770M-3GB-DDR5-MXM-3-0-Type-B-for-Clevo-Alienware-MSI-/281134082583?pt=DE_Computer_Sonstige&hash=item4174e5aa17 So, that's mean I have any chance to make the GTX770M run normally?

mobilenvidia Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Their might be a small HW difference between the 2 MXM boards Ask either seller if they know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiba208 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) OK. I got vbios from TechInferno but there's same size, checksum, and vendor NVIDIA. Waiting for their answer e-mail. If reach a dead end, I might be sell this one to Alienware user and get a new one from that MSI seller.

mobilenvidia Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Even the MSI one may still behave the same. I'm wondering if the System BIOS needs an update to take the 770m properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiba208 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I already have been updated BIOS to E16F3IMS.10U as official website. You mean GTX680M on MSI GT60 ONE got stuttering graphics too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 You may find the MSI BIOS may still stutter too. Just don't get your hopes up. If it does work then great :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiba208 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) OK. I'll find another one. Thank you. Edited August 2, 2013 by kiba208 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
