I also bought 1 from ebay last month and when I put it on my gt60, it instantly booted. No problem during installation. i just removed the gpu bracket at the back and all is well.. The card is a beast and you must tame it's heat though.. anyways I hope you solved your problem too.

  • MSI GT60 GPU upgrade from MSI ?

    Hi there,
    So just recently I was browsing through the interwebs, when I came across a thread when a guy was walking about how he upgraded his MSI with nvidia 770m to 970m. Now he had to do a minor adjustment to the 970m graphics card (sand down something in the gpu, not sure what though :S, something with aluminum block ? ), anyways after he did that, he just put the gpu back in this laptop and did the bios update and his laptop is working perfectly. What I wanted to know is why doesn't MSI give us an option to upgrade legally, I mean something like what they are doing with the gt72 or the gt80 when they are providing buyers upgrade kits. I would love to upgrade my gpu on my laptop, and I would happily give my money to MSI if they can make an upgrade kit for the GT60's and the GT70's. I mean the GPU is MXM and the thread clearly shows that it is upgradable so why not? I know this is probably a dumb question, but I really wanted to know. 

    Cost should be the same as the GT72 upgrade as both the heatsink and GPU are both already available to MSI to release.  At this point though who cares.  You can get a 970m and 980m cheaper than what MSI is selling their kits for.  And the 700m and 800m heatsink can be easily modded to work with the new cards.  So no big loss if they don't ever release an official kit IMO.  Just DIY and be done with it. 

  • AMD HD7970m BIOS for MSI GT780DXR (GPU Upgrade)

    I want to upgrade my MSI GT780DXR. I want to replace the stock GTX 570m with an AMD HD7970m. In order to do this I've been told i have to do the following:
    1) Buy the GPU
    2) Buy a new heatsink
    3) Flash Clevo BIOS with Enduro off.
    Right now, I'm stuck on the third part. I don't know how to do this, or where to get the BIOS. This is what I need help with. Can someone tell me where to get these BIOS and tell me when/how to install them?
    And also, if there is anything else i need to upgrade my GPU in my MSI GT780DXR. Thanks!

    Talk to Svl7 if I remember the name right. He has been doing the NVidia bio's there, but I'm not sure who handled the ATI bios's, but I'm sure he knows. They are probably your best bet.

  • Macbook C2D late 2006 RAM upgrade question.

    Hello everyone,
    I have a late 2006 Macbook and am planning to upgrade the RAM from 2GB to 4GB.
    From what I understand, my motherboard only supports 3GB, and I'm ok with that.
    My question is:
    Because 1GB will be left unused, will the OS use any of the extra GB towards my Intel GMA 950 GPU's 64MB of shared memory?
    I know the machine performs better graphically with with 4GB of RAM rather than 3, I was wondering if that extra GB of RAM is just used my my GPU rather than by the computer?
    Like, will I get more then 64MB of shared RAM?
    Thanks for reading, and I hope someone here has the same configuration as me, has added the 4GB, and could tell me if there is any GPU upgrade with the 4GB.

    No, the GMA 950 shares the 3 GB. Some have reported after testing that the MacBook is actually using 3.3 GB.

    This is from the specs.
    +Memory available to Mac OS X may vary depending on graphics needs. Minimum graphics memory usage is 80MB, resulting in 944MB of system memory available on 1GB configurations.+
    The 64MB is a baseline because of the GMA 950 spec. The MacBook actualluy uses more and more is assigned as needed by the graphics.

  • MSI GT780DX P1 "TURBO MODE" automatically off in few seconds

    Hello ! In my MSI GT780DX  (I5, gtx570m  1.5GB, Windows 7 x64 pro, charger ON)  P1 "TURBO MODE" automatically off in few seconds (aimation from s-bar)
    Everything work fine, until install the new driver for GPU from nvidia, v320, and give me problem whit P1 mode.
     I'm uninstall the driver, and instal old, no fix, I'm uninstall all driver MSI (nvidia overclok tool, s-bar, afterburner, nvidia drivers) ,and install it again, no fix problem, still P1 "TURBO MODE" automatically off in few seconds ;/
    curiosity:
    For more GPU clok (700MHZ)and memory (1700), I run "nvidia inspector",only open "show overcloking",and "Driver profile" , nothing change ! Then run afterburner , and set gpu clok to 700Mhz, memory clok 1700, aply, and in game it's run gpu to 700Mhz, no pressing P1 button !!
    But I want to press only P1 button for more gpu clok...
    sorry for bad english.

    For anyone that needs help setting the overclock tool to run at startup, just set a task to run the tool with admin priveleges at user login with the task scheduler.
    Can confirm this works for me, I can now use my turbo button and change brightness without SCM crashing on the latest Nvidia drivers (331.65).

  • Overheating or Memory? MSI GT780DX

    Hello everyone!
    I have MSI GT780DX Laptop (GTX570M 1.5GB, 16gb RAM)
    I'm playing Battlefield 3 on lowest settings and I have 80-100 fps and when I'm playing while recording with Fraps on 60 fps everything works perfect for about 30-40 min and than fps falls to 5-10. If I switch off fraps it goes back to 80-100. I've tried to monitor temperature and it doesn't go above 75-80 (which I think is normal?). I've tried ccleaner, disk defragmentation and disk check but still no changes...Is there anything that can be done in this situation? Maybe it's memory problems or smth? I'm really looking forward to your help guys!
    Thank you.

    A few questions...
    What resolution are you playing at?
    What hard drive are you recording onto?
    What is your memory usage?
    Remember, FRAPS needs to record the data somewhere, I'd bet it's recording it to RAM and then storing it on the HDD as fast as it can, but the HDD is slower than your recording. You're probably filling your RAM and after 30 to 40 minutes it's completely full.....That's my guess anyway.

  • H530 GPU upgrade

    Hello everyone 
    I wan wondering if I could upgrade my GPU to a gtx 750 TI and the questions are : 
    Does it fit the current case ? 
    Do I have to change the PSU ?
    Do I have to change the MB ? 
    thanks .

    Hi Haze3131,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
     As per the query we understood that you are looking for a GPU upgrade to GTX 750 TI in your Lenovo H530 desktop.
    As per the specification of the GPU shared by you the minimum requirements is :
    Thermal and Power Specs:
    Maximum GPU Temperature (in C): 95 C
    Graphics Card Power (W)   : 60 W
    Minimum System Power Requirement (W): 300 W
    As the system PSU is very low hence the PSU and also the Motherboard needs to be upgraded. I would also suggest you to visit the nearest service center for further details.
    Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
    Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!

  • Security upgrade question - Getting 6.1.6 downloaded to iphone.

    Security upgrade question - I have a 4S phone v6.01 with an upgrade to IOS 7.04 already downloaded and ready for install.  I would like to install the 6.1.6 security upgrade instead. How do I delete the ios7 in the queue or have the 6.1.1 pushed as an option to the phone?

    You can't install iOS 6.1.6 on that device and must update it to 7.0.6.

  • Nvidia Performance Level 3 - MSI GT780DX

    Hiya all,
    I'm running Arch on an MSI GT780DX, with an Nvidia 570M. At the moment I'm running Arch-CK 4.0.5-2-CK (but over the many many many months I've been dealing with this issue I've ran many kernels to no avail - stock kernels from the inception of v4, and all incarnations of liquorix) with the nvidia-ck 352.21-1 drivers.
    For the life of me, I can't get this card to clock properly. I've enabled coolbits, added powermizer options in my xorg, all do absolutely nothing. The card stays at performance level two.
    This is what my nvidia-settings looks like in the Powermizer tab.
    http://i.imgur.com/QHtgzi3.png
    In Windows, MSI provided an overclocking utility which when I hit P1 above my keyboard, performance level 3 would kick in. Linux has no such tool. My guess is that the overclocking utility wrote to registers on the card. If that's the case, how on earth can I do think in Linux?

    Is there nobody having the same or at least having a clue how to solve that?
    Can I do something or is this just a Nvidia driver bug?

  • Another RAM upgrade question

    I know there seems to be lots of RAM upgrade questions here but hey thats what forums are for.
    I'm looking to upgrade my macbook's RAM it's currently got 2GB (2x1GB)
    Is it possible to purchase 1x4GB and put that with one of my current 1GB sticks to create a total of 5GB?
    I would be interested to know if this is possible or if anyone has tried it.
    Thanks in advance

    This will work if your MacBook is late '07 or newer.
