M17x R3 and PG106 card half way, need help.

[Lex_Amorph]

Hello, friends, I now in battle with server/mining card GP106 4gb (analog GeForce GTX 1060 6gb, but cropped and without video outputs). Use unlocked A12 bios in my M17x r3, card is visible, but cannot run in PEG, return black screen and 6 beeps, after bios reset run only in SG. Also use last version of modded nvidia drivers with Nvcleaninstall, in Windows 10 pro and GPU-Z card displayed like NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, but in NVIDIA Inspector, GeForce experience and Nvidia control panel card is visible like NVIDIA graphics device and games run under intel HD graphics 3000. Fn+F7 show me message about switching card, but not suggest reboot and anyway use intel 3000. After manual disabling this driver in windows until reboot this GP106 card is try to use, but VERY slow, nothing similar like must be and all options is blocked. AIDA64 pass GPGPU test and also see 3d accelerator like must be. Maybe somebody have experience with such card with this notebook and can help me to make this card working?

Hopefully @ssj92 can assist you with this. You seem to have got further than other people with the 10 series cards so I wish you luck getting it working properly.

It sounds absolutely crazy, but looks like I solve question, very strange, very unreal, but fact, I check disco elysium, couple other games, games loading slow, but only till menu, I add all preferences to maximum and game run smooth and with good image. I mod this driver "425.31-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql" via NVCleanstall, with hardware support, as donor take quadro 2000 with name Nvidia GP106 4GB. Driver installed well, in nvidia control panel card name is simple "Graphics Device", almost all options are gone, but added one, which give sense for all this dances, choose preferrable graphic processor, with "high performance nvidia processor" option. In previous geforce drivers this options was unavailable. Maybe exist more pretty solution, I'm sure, more skilled and experiences alienware owners now rofl from this frankenstein, but it's, at least, work ))))

@Lex_Amorph, Perhaps you could get it to work with a newer driver with a GTX 1060 notebook base using the method described by ssj92 to set the use of a different card through the Windows register. And have you tried setting the video card in Windows itself?
