    The GTX 780m is legacy so, if you want to use latest driver you need to mod one.
    I made a guide how to do it. You can find in my signature.

    The 970M still has current driver support.

    I'm trying to install the last version on a clevo P150em, but it must be modded.
    I used the j95 versions until last year.

    Help, I have a 780m too (Computer is a clevo P170SM) and followed your guide but driver fails to install.

    I tried both the most up to date 456.55 and 445.87 which is the closest to the version you installed.

    Please see the 445.87 nv_dispi.ini which I'm attaching here below.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks!

    P.s.
    I've also edited nvcvi.inf
