    Hi guys!

    So I have had the alienware m18x r2 for a while and never seemed to have any issues until recent drivers that now have support for multiple gpu's in the driver itself. I update my drivers but I notice that when I go to device manager my 880ms are recognized as 540m cards. The driver itself still says 880m. When I open the nvaci and look at the very bottom where it gives you the key, 880m is not even listed as one of the devices. How do I get everything to read 880m? I have changed around what the devices would be and it does affect performance so I do want to get this fixed. If anyone has some good suggestions (apart from getting a new pc) they are greatly appreciated.

    Chris
