MSI GT60 - GTX765m modded inf file?

Hey guys, so, a couple years ago my factory 675m died in my GT60 laptop and it sat on a shelf since then.
Well, I have recently brought it back to life and have an installed GTX 765m as a replacement.

Ive flashed the motherboard with an unlocked BIOS but am still having what i believe is a driver issue. Some googling shows i need to modded inf file to make it work.

Using GPUZ i can see the card is recognized but any nvidia driver i use is unable to detect.

Anyone have a modded 765m driver or file with MSI support?

Device ID: 10DE 11E1 1462 05AA

ps, im thinking of ditching windows 8 and doing a clean install of windows 7, possibly trying out linux as apparently windows 8 i need to disable driver authentication? windows 8 sucks anyway

 

This is a simple fix, go ahead and grab a GTX 765M vBios and flash it ontp the card, that way you never have to mod your drivers again.

 

https://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/30985-v34043-windows-8-64bit-mobile-oem/ with modified inf might work - at least 11E1 is there. They changed from win8.1 to Win10 support thereabouts - I'm not sure which driver is the last with Win8.1 inf. Yes, disable driver auth to install.

 

thanks for the reply!

I've since learned to modify inf to at least insert my device ID
everything was working perfect with Mr Fox's modded 345.20 driver
Highly recommend for Windows 7/8/8.1 users still, btw

NOW the issue I have is, I have since installed a Samsung Evo 860 SSD and upgraded to Windows 10 LTSB and no matter which driver I get to install, the 765m is stuck at 405mhz on both core and memory.
Drivers install, the device is recognized, I can even OC, but its like permanently throttled and wont engage the higher clocks, even while benchmarking

I tried OCing in MSI afterburner, tried a couple different unmodded Windows 10 drivers, but not having luck.
The other change I made in the motheboard Bios, changed from Legacy to EUFI (spl?)

All the modded Windows 10 drivers I find, the links are broken as they were posted a few years back and not maintained.

I'll try updating the vbios and see if it helps.
Any links you can provide to modded Windows 10 drivers for Clevo / MSI and vBios links would be a great help!

 

FIXED IT!!!
oh man, i was just about to go back to Windows 8.1, ive spent a full 24 hours battling this thing

FIRST THING, @Danishblunt you were correct,
Flash the vBios!

Tech Inferno was a HUGE help. Theyve got a collection of unlocked Kepler vbios versions here

I used
NVFlash Windows x86 5.513.0
https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/files/file/14-nvflash-windows-x86/

They do require a $6 membership but you can cancel right after and its totally worth it.

Once that was done,
went into safe mode, ran DDU
and put a fresh install of Nvidia driver 387.91 found here which addresses a lot of the issues requiring modded drivers

a modded .inf is still needed to insert your device ID,
but its pretty plug and play after that

I just set a mild OC of 135mhz on the Core and 405mhz on the memory, with LOTS of additional headroom thanks to the new Bios
It was good enough to get me a score over 700 and 29fps on unigens Heaven benchmark at 1080p on high settings

very happy right now!

 

yep, as long you use MSI vBios even maxwell cards are compatible without drivers mods on older systems.
