Signex Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Hello I bought a m18x r2 with a 970m 6gb. I can't get newest drivers to install. They still support it, but I think the hardware Id do not match which results in driver saying GPU not recognized. How do I modify the drivers? EDIT: Omg halleluja for nvcleanstall i finally got it to install! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerryzago Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Yes. Nvcleanstall is our friend since we mainly have not supported GPUs in our systems. I think natively, the 970m was supported for the AW 18, not the M18x R2 Alienware M18x R2 / i7 3720qm -> i7 3940XM / Dual 7970m -> 980m SLI -> HP Quadro RTX 3000 Alienware 17 R1 / 4710MQ -> 4930mx / 880M GTX -> PNY Quadro RTX 3000 HP 8570w / i7 3820qm / Quadro K2000M HP DV6500 / i7 T7200 -> i7 T9500 / 2GB RAM -> 4GB RAM / Atlas OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a 1070 work without modding the laptop? i have never done upgrading a gpu in a laptop. I could get a 980M for 112 euro but i think a 1070 would be better.
