    Negative. V2 is installed.

    This suggests modding the driver will increase performance by 20% ish?

    The performance is done by the vBIOS Mod. The v3 BIOS takes care of proper card switching as well as native driver support etc...

    Just mail your Eurocom rep to send you their v3 BIOS.

    EDIT: Just saw a page back that they already sent you the v3 BIOS, well flash it! :)
    It also brings much better performance to the Ivy-Bridge refresh CPUs (which have a broken/disabled Turbo without it) and updates a whole bunch of other things. ;)

    Unfortunately for me, I bought my 9370 from XoticPC and I purchased a 980M SLI kit from another NBR member. XoticPC will not help me get my 980M SLI setup working. So I'm stuck with a non-working 980M SLI in my laptop.

    Did you reach out to the vendor you bought the kit from for help with the setup?

    I was wondering if they might offer a discount if I traded in my 780m for the 980m?

    Holy necro batman...

    But that's a good question. If they do accept old card returns for a discount on the newer ones, that would work out nicely for me as well as then I don't have to try to sell it.

    And it seems the kits come with a heatsink, so there is hope that pascal GPUs might be compatible with 2014-2015 Clevos.

    You can ask but historically I believe not.
