    well, how exactly does it look like when u cant flash the vbios mod? does it give u an error? does it do nothing at all? does it go through but theres not difference afterwards? what is your current vbios config?

    and, most important of all: since when is there a vbios mod for the DESKTOP 980 mobile? i can only see vbios mods for the 980M ;)

    well screen flicker sounds good, and nothing really DOES happen when u properly update it. ull have to check the vbios version in gpu-z before and after the flash to make sure it works properly.

    just make 100% sure u can actually use the same mod for both the 980M and 980 desktop, since theyre completely different chips / gpus!!!

    You can not use the 980M mod on a 980 notebook edition GPU, they're entirely different cards. As of right now there is no public mod for the 980 notebook edition, you have to get the machine from a Prema partner shop.

    Unless HIDEvolution got the system from Eurocom like they did for @Phoenix, you're still going to be out of luck. Nobody knows if/when Prema will release the vbios publicly at this point.

    True, my system is a full blown Eurocom Sky X9 that came preinstalled with the Prema BIOS/VBIOS for the desktop 980 GTX. The VBIOS for the 980M won't work obviously. So I bought it from HIDevolution but paid extra 200 USD for the Eurocom warranty to cover the Prema BIOS/VBIOS. And I get to call both companies for support. Eurocom are treating me as if I was there customer since they see my laptop's serial is a Eurocom Serial number.

    I am not allowed to share anything that is on this laptop though as this is strictly Prema/Eurocom stuff.
