    Hi Guys,

    I have just purchased a 880M GTX which was removed from a M17X R5 laptop. I have installed the GPU and it is recognized in the system BIOS, however I cannot get Nvidia drivers to install.. Can anybody please advise I thought this was a simply plug and play or so I have read threads.

    Appreciate all the help, thank you in advance.

    :)

    It should already work for 880M.

    Mr Fox is right, you dont need to mod any drivers to install drivers for 880M.
