    Need help!!
    I recently ungraded my P570wm3's GPUs from 780m SLI to 980m SLI.
    It would not work at first until I flashed the Prema V5 Bios for MOBO (the P570wm version, without 3D functionality).
    Now everything is setup and running, and I have re-installed the Non-OEM Nvidia drivers, but the thing is, I find all the video output ports are no longer working when I try to use external displays.

    So CAN ANYONE POINT ME AT THE RIGHT DIRECTION AS WHAT I MIGHT BE DOING WRONG,

    and also, is it normal that after flashing this version of BIOS, that I can no longer control my screen brightness?

    HUGE THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

    It'd be a good idea to double check. :vbwink: GPU-Z, NVidia Inspector, etc. will show it.

    Probably HDCP compliance problem. When I upgraded my D900F to the Eurocom 680m, my HDMI output wouldn't work anymore. Open Nvidia control panel and check to see what it says under HDCP on the left column

    Where did you buy the 980m's?

    HDCP Compliance? There is no HDCP section in my Nvidia Panel, what should I do?
    About the 980m, I got it off taobao in China.
