Komputers-Best Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I tried to install GTX 980M in AlienwareM17x R2 and this is what it displays on the screen. What can it be, because in Alienware 17 the card works perfectly..?

ssj92 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 This is a common problem using GTX 980M in M17xR2. Inverted Colors. Only way to get past this is so switch to a 6-bit display panel. the 8-bit panel has some conflict with GM2xx series cards.

Komputers-Best Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 As I understand it, there is no way to run on this display, do you need another display, or is it possible in the settings?
