P150EM upgrade GPU to GTX 1060

If you are still looking post any card you find for guidance before buying.

 

I know this is an old topic and I was the only one facing this very specific issue AFAIK but I finally found a solution and decided to post it here, just in case someone with this issue finds himself here.

Short version: Windows 10 fixes the issue.

Long version:

As I said, the latest driver that was partially working (only AAA/DirectX games worked, Java games like Minecraft were running on Intel HD Graphics) was 425.31. Any driver above that resulted with all games running on Intel HD.
Windows 10 wasn't an option because it couldn't support the fairly old 425.31 drivers and therefore faced the same issue as 8.1, only using Intel HD in games...

However, Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19564 introduced the new Graphics Settings which at first glance seems very similar to the "Use Nvidia High Performance GPU" option. But I gave it the benefits of the doubt and gave a try to Windows 10 latest update 2004 with Nividia 446.14 drivers.

And voila ! My GTX1060 is detected and used in every AAA/DirectX games, even Minecraft Java Edition is working smoothly now. I can rest happy now.

Just wanted to post that I had to update my drivers today and was able to use the old nvcvi.inf edit and got the newest 452.06 to work. The reason for the update was to enable dvdFab's Enlarger AI to utilize the CUDA core and GPU memory to upconvert an old home video. Happy to stretch the legs of this old laptop just a bit further

 

What card are you doing that on? The 1060? It's just your sig is out of date.

 

Pardon
I want to replace my 675m on my santech n77 (p150em)

Thanks

Found this, may it work on our clevo? How tonread the version of the card?

 

You need a standard MXM card in your machine, no wider than the MXM connector.

 

Hi guys.
After reading all the topic I still have the problem with correct installing GTX1060 card into my P150SM.
1.Secure boot is disabled.
2. I have a standard BIOS (not some Premamod) but heard this is fine for gtx1060.
3. Drivers were cleared with DDU , then new with modded info (384.76) were installed.
4. After new drivers system goes to reboot , Windows10 recognize the card , in device manager can be seen as gtx1060 without any problems , but when i try to play any game then the system crashes , goes into reboot with error43 in device manage.
5 I have a standard PSU - 180w - i guess i dont have to upgrade it.
6. the nV bios on this card is :86.06.2A.00.0B - deviceID 10DE 1C20-1558 5281. I haven't found this bios on techpowerup website.Do you think this vbios might be a problem? And if i have to upgrade vbios - which one do you recommend .
My old card is GTX 970M and it runs without any problems , but the new 1060 makes me mad !

 

Whatever you do with the vbios make sure you take a backup.

 

I have the same card , and it doesn't want to cooperate with windows10, can you send me your modded INF file? I downloaded the drivers already .Is your windows10 installed with UEFI on or off?
Also : I found the same card on German Ebay ,and description says it need 230W PSU,otherwise the card will not work. Which PSU do you have? I have 180W PSU and i guess this might cause all the troubles...
