    In nvidia control panel it appears that its hooked to the 1060, whereas the screen and hdmi port are though integrated so it can view it, and I cannot find a way to get my minidisplayport to work,

    which means no 240hz output though it to my external monitor, even though currently all I want it for is to convert from mDP to hdmi, so i can have 3 monitors going :(

    If someone is running SG mode on their m18x or aw18, can you confirm if your mDP works with it? It is a possibility my adapter is a dud

    EDIT : tested it with another adapter, displayport in SG does work. :) will do further testing. :)
