MSI 1070 GT72VR (T) stuck on Microsoft basic display adapter - P870DM-G

Hello All,

I have been scouring the forums and can't find a resolution to this.

I have a P870DM-G, I have just changed out the 980m to an MSI GT72VR (T) 1BE1 1070 card.

I have flashed BIOS 86.04.56.00.3A from the MSI website (as said ina forum post on here) and this is showing up in GPU-Z. It is also showing Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. I have tried using NVIDIA installer with drivers 375.70 and 456.38. Both of the installers show the hardware isn't compatible. I am getting no errors in the device manager drivers page.

Any help to get this running would be very much appreciated.

I've now tried 86.04.31.00.0D and no joy.

 

Modified the .inf files to force the NVIDIA driver to install and still no luck!

Giving up for today I think.

 

I've just clicked..... am I trying to use a non G-Sync VBIOs on a G-Sync card?

 

Are you absolutely sure you modded the .inf file properly?

Did you toggle secure boot off before installing?

 

Hi Electrsoft,

I followed this guide https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/nvidia-inf-driver-modding-guide.377158/ and added in to the display inf file. I am actually getting the nvidia installer past the compatibility checker and I'm now at the stage where I am installing the driver but it fails.

The lines I added were:
[NVIDIA_Devices.NTamd64.10.0...17098]

Added this %NVIDIA_DEV.1BE1% = win10adesktop, PCI\VEN 10DE&DEV_1BE1

&

[Strings]
DiskID1 = "NVIDIA Windows 10 (64 bit) Driver Library Installation Disk 1"
FLG_ADDREG_KEYONLY = 0x00000010

Added this "NVIDIA_DEV.1BE1 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070"

Edit: Secure boot is disabled

 

Are you installing with driver signing disabled through the advanced restart menu?

 

I have been, yes. I've just woke up this morning to give it another go. I get to about 75% and then the failure comes up, however tech GPU then goes from basic drivers to showing that there is a 1070 installed. So close! I just can't get past this final part.

 

You were 100% right on the .inf files!

I found another guide here ( https://null-src.com/posts/nvidia-notebook-driver-inf-mod/post.php) which explained that I needed to mod the Clevo .inf file too. That part wasn't in the forum post I linked earlier or I missed it!

Anyway, It's all installed. just need to check the fans are working correctly etc and then on to some gaming.

Thank you for that!

 

‘I’m glad it worked out!

That link was one I used when figuring out a quicker way to mod .inf files for a quicker approach to setup systems with new GPUs.

Let us know how it runs with temps and benchmarks.

 

I haven't done any proper benchmarks just yet as one of the VRMs isn't properly covered by the heat sink so just want to be careful with it till I get a better heat sink sorted.

Running the SteamVR hardware test though, my 980m was coming out at 1.9, the 1070 gives me a 10.9! Thats exactly the result I was after. The GPU got to about 72 degrees and levelled off at around 80% usage. Very happy early result for me.

Once I get cooling sorted I will start looking at proper bench testing and taking the TDP up I think.

 

Good idea to go easy for now, don't want a VRM to go pop.

 

@TheLuddite If your still having issue with modded .inf drivers, click the Download Section in my Signature, as i do upload from time to time updated modded Nvidia DCH drivers.

Best yet no Test mode is required.

Modded file is nvmii.inf as is modded for
