    I heard the other way around will brick the card. What is with a non Gsync VBios on a GSync card. Will it work?

    Because I have no Gsync Laptop. Now I flashed a non Gsync VBios but in GPU-Z it shows still 1617.

    A Gsync'd vbios card in a Non-Gsync'd systems will always mean No Gsync and will always work fine, there is no need to flash the vbios to a none GSync varient.

    How do i know this well my system has G-Sync and a G-Sync card but due to it being an aftermarket upgrade i don't get G-Sync.
    All a Gsync vbios allows is for the system to check if G-Sync could be enabled or not, nothing else.

    The problem is I installed a clevo 980M GSync in an MSI GT70. But after Drivermod the system begins to freeze or programms don‘t open.

    Instability is not usually caused by that sort of thing, that tends to be more a hardware issue.
