Ultimate 8770W yet?

[Daedalus]

Nice work. Did you manage to upgrade the GPU any further in your 8770w? I know @GuitarG in this forum has been trying many gtx and etc cards in his 8570w. I’m curious if there needs to be any custom vbios to make them work in the elitebooks? My 965m install failed at post, so now looking at 980m, I noticed you tried the m3000 with options for the m5000. 

 

in your screen upgrade is that connected behind the Dreamcolour board or is the cable a custom one which negates the need for DC middle bit.  I think the 8570 & 8770 DC options are same parts (with exception of screen size) 

Unfortunately i didnt manage to get on well with TaoBao and not sure if they would ship to my location.

The display panel from TAOBAO. Need to custom display cable. This screen is not compatible with the Dreamcolor board.

Let me ask you: since you're running a M4000M with a custom display cable and an upgraded screen, can you adjust/control the screen brightness normally? If so, are you using the latest NVIDIA drivers or an old version?
