    You'll need custom heatsink and Eurocom GTX 1070 card.

    The non-GSync Model is what you are after.

    No it does not support g sync.

    The card you want to buy is the non g sync model.

    G-Sync requires a direct connection to the Nvidia GPU and all the connections (internal and external) on this model are wired to the IGP first so go through optimus.

    Yes, P150EM cooler modded for GTX 1070 handles all the heat. Our GTX 1070 upgrade kit comes also with 95W VBIOS that works fine in P150EM model. You can order this via our website Upgrade section or check with our Upgrade Team.

    I used to have a p170em but but I sold it years ago. I have a p370sm though so I'm pretty interested by 1070GTX's when you will get SLI models available (not MSI one's but std MXM3.0b)

    It will be more efficient than the 1060 but may not be worth the cost.

    I have another question. I tried to run a MSI GTX 570m. But can't install a NVIDIA driver. Do I have to flash a Clevo VBios?

    Did you do an INF mod on the driver package?

    Can you even install an edp screen on P150EM? I'm not so sure. And it's no use as optimus does the trick for pascal GPUs. Although you're maxed out @ 60Hz do to the igp muxing the signal.

    that's not correct because p150em has optimus. so it doesn't need an edp panel for pascal cards

    Some boards have LVDS and eDP slot. Most however do only have LVDS. At least that's the case for SM and SM-A boards.

    Yes indeed. But I don't think there's any edp slot for EM models.

    At the Moment i try to get a MSI GTX 970m working. But It doesn't work. Some member from here sent me a mod.inf But I can't install the Nvidia driver. Nvidia found no gpu. Also without the driver signature. If I Go to device Manager and let windows search and install the driver, then the 970m was shown. But After a reboot the Display freezes just before I can Go to the desktop. Can someone help me?

    I don't think that its a Gsync Card, because it works in an old Medion Erazer X6811 with I7-720qm.
    To Flash a VBios on the 970m. Is that the Same procedure like the old 500m/600m with Nvflash in DOS?

    yes, except pascal cards on modded BIOS, they behave differently. Other than that nvflash can flash any card from tesla to maxwell.
