aliman1 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Has any one had success upgrading the M17XR4 to the GTX1070 with a 1920x1080 60Hz display screen , someone was telling me that it would work through Nvidia Optimus letting the card function at slightly lower performance , is this true or do you need to use the eDP 120Hz display for this car to function properly. I bought a GTX 1070 card and modified the driver INF file. I modified the " nvdmig " INF file with the cards hardware ID and my pc's hardware ID , is that the correct INF file I need to modify or is it the " nv_dispig " INF file . I installed the driver with Driver signature enforcement Disabled and it appeared to install successfully , the GTX 1070 appears in the Device Manager and I'm able to set the GTX1070 as default card in Nvidia control panel but the system won't use the GTX1070 when i try and benchmark it . Right now I'm stumped at what to do next , I was trying to upgrade my sons laptop for Christmas but things are not working out , any help would be awesome , thank you.

Csupati Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Hi, i have the m17x r5 / 17 r1 4.gen cpu , now currently im using a p3200 in it with 60hz optimus, no issues here. Try another section for it as you go trough the nvdmi inf file ( im only modified that one) you can see different section for different hrdwr id. I hope that will help for You.

KOAO Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 So I just wanted to ask to double check. Is it possible to get a 1070 in the M17xR4 without needing to get the 120hz display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxware79 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Yes, The 1070 will work on the 60hz panel as it has Optimus with the Intel graphics. This is the only way to get a 10 series card to work with an LVDS display.
