    hi guys

    i have a simple question.

    i have p150em clevo with 680m 4gb with version 29

    and yesterday someone asked me to sell the vga card for p150hm.

    then, i googled some info about flashing the 680m vbios for 150hm

    then, i realize that only the 29 version will work in p150hm.

    however, i caanot understand why this version worked both in 150em and 150hm.

    in case of 7970m , we should flash the vbios to disable the enduro system bcuz p150hm is nonenduro and

    nonoptiomus model.

    but 680m's original vbios version works in both nonoptimus and optimus system??

    why could it be possible??

    (is it sure the 29 stock vbios will work in 150hm???)

    The method for controlling the card got changed by nvidia in vbios versions that caused compatibility issues on older boards.

    thx for reply, you mean after 29 vbios version, nvidia began to change the method ??(from 33version)

    and is it just normal situation that i can use 680m with 29 vbios both is p150em and hm model??

    I was a big fan of Bastion too :) It's not ALL about GPU grunt after all (though I enjoy that too ;) ).
