m17x r3 + new GTX 880M driver installl issues

Hello everybody.

I recently got a new GTX 880M to install in my m17x R3 and finally got it to be recognized by the bios and now I am unable to install its drivers on windows 7.

The driver I am trying to install is :
v326.29 Windows 8 64bit | NVIDIA Mobile OEM - GeForce r326 series - LaptopVideo2Go Forums

I have downloaded the modified .nfo but every single time that I tried to updqte the device recognized qs Standard SVGA Adapter and manually giving the address to were the driver and the modded nfo file are I get the message as the most up to date driver is already installed.

am I doing something wrong?

 

Steps I did...

download driver.

download modded nfo.

extract driver.

copy modded nfo into extrated folder\Display.driver (no override message)

On device manager try to upddate the driver by pointing to the given folder.

On second attempt I tried to run the setup file of the driver itself but says that de sofware driver cannot find appropiate hardware...

 

Disable driver enforcement signature and try the above steps again.

 

Hello again.

I did that and still not able to install the 326.29 driver.

Am I missing something here?

Is it not supposed to be the good driver...?

On the devide manager I got to the Hardwares ID...

and this is what is giving me...

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1198&CC_0300
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1198&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1198&SUBSYS_04901028
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1198&SUBSYS_04901028&REV_A1

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

 

Have you tried 340.43?

 

no I have not since the seller I bought the card from said to use the 326.29 .

I will give it a try later on and see if that works.

Thanks again.

 

Here you go...

GeForce 340.43 Beta

Modded nvdmi.inf v340.43


GeForce 337.88 WHQL

nvdmi.inf v337.88

Better use v337.88, many issues w/ v340.43 & 780M/880M + 3D.

^^ I would of edit the inf but I'm not at my computer.

 

Thanks for the reply.

I will give it a go once at home.

Will keep you posted.

Kind regards.

 

Hello again everybody.

I just tried the :

GeForce 337.88 WHQL

nvdmi.inf v337.88

drivers got installed and noz windows 7 is showing as display adapter : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M

Adobe is not complaining about a missing graphics card and Wow is running fine

Thanks to everybody for your help.

Kind regards

 

Good luck with your card matey. I too own three of them, but I'm not satisfied with the way they operate at the moment, due to Nvidia's latest mind boggling implementations. Driver 340.43 did something that crippled the performance of the card. You'll see what I mean at some point during gaming. Don't be worried when your clock drops below 350mhz. It's just driver 340.43 throttling the card for no apparent reason. To get around this, flash SLV and John's unlocked vbios. You'll be running at 993mhz at all times, so keep an eye on your temps of you plan on using SLV and John's vbios.

Anyway, enjoy your card.
