    Hi Guys

    Need some help here

    For the start, i have purchased 970M from aliexpress from this website

    http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NVID...Card-for-16F3-16F4-1762-1763/32261338611.html

    And i have installed the latest prema mod bios and vbios version

    So what happen is...

    1. Under BIOS, my VGA card shows empty.

    2. So i tried to use modding of INF file and installing the latest nvidia files. Installation was successful, but in device manager it doesnt show 970M. It shows %NVIDIA_DEV.13D8% instead.

    3. Try to play games or tweak the Nvidia setting, the graphic is at slow FPS.. high chance is still using intel cards..

    Anyone able to help me?

    If you need me to provide any screenshot please let me know.

    Thanks a lot

    The bios will show an empty string, that's fine, it's just some text and has no impact on anything. You should be able to install the regular drivers, have you tried that?
