    Tday, I put Dell 780m in Clevo p15sm

    No need for vbios flashing (it was dell vbios)

    No need for inf modification (even dell vbios is on the original gpu, the driver can be installed)

    Cmos bios completely recognized the gpu as Nv Geforce 780M like this..

    Now I really want to figure out what is the problem with Dell 880m on my p15sm.

    If dell 7th gpu can be installed in clevo p15sm, the 8th also should be worked in my unit.

    few days ago, i failed to make 880m dell gpu work on my unit perfectly.

    Cmos bios recognized the dell gpu as NV geforce 880m

    and I need to modify the inf file.

    the gpu id was 1198

    and my hardware id was 5106.1558

    I changed 1198.5281.1558 880m section to 1198.5106.1558

    and the driver was successfully installed, but the driver always crashed when i start to play game.

    (all the game that need egpu will be crashed)

    I think some step for modifying inf will be a problem, and i dont what the problem is.
