    Hi,

    I try to run this GPU, pulled from MSI GT680, in my pretty Clevo, but no luck so far.
    I tried Clevo's vBIOS, few different drivers (with modded inf of course), NVidia Inspector and it still use only 50MHz or 200MHz core clock, instead of 775...
    Any idea what I can try next?

    Try flashing/updating BIOS and EC for the Clevo.

    I tried this too. I even tried to modify the clocks in vBIOS, but card stopped working. In the last desperate move I even flashed vBIOS from GTX460M and I ended up with black screen. Today I will restore original vBIOS with programmer and I think that this is the end of my adventure with Fermi. I used Clevo's 970M in this laptop, so I wonder if Quadro M1200 will also work.

    I never got it properly working on my old 7738G, same issue. That machine ended up on a 7770M.

    Topic can be closed - I succesfully installed Quadro M3000M. Heatsing needs to be heavilly modded (with angle grinder) and inf file needs proper entry. With +135MHz overclock temperature reaches only 77 degree Celsjus.

    Lack of information results from the constant crashing of Futuremark System Info. I think that it's connected with outdated system compilation - my other laptop which works under Windows 7 from Dell (special edition for customers who don't want W10 on their new systems) doesn't have such problems.

    I don't think its the sort of config they test much with I suppose.
