    Dear all,

    I upgraded my Clevo P157sm with a Nvidia GTX 970M 6GB (MSI version).
    Updated my BIOS with Prema's MOD v2 and also updated VBIOS of the GPU with current Pema VBIOS.

    Installed modded Nvidia driver without any issues.
    GPU is recognized in device manager without problems and also in GPU Z, but it doesn't run correctly.
    Bus Interface is alway on PCIE 16.1.1 and Clocks are also very low.
    It seems to be that the GTX 970M is not used for graphics demanding tasks.
    Benchmarks only run with low FPS, because iGPU is used.

    Also tried to change Windows energyplan, but nothing changed.
    Tried some different BIOS options and turning off the iGPU without any change.

    Is there anyone who can help me?

    Also tried Windows 10 and now running with Windows 7...

    Many thanks for your help!

    Best regards

    Brainiac
