Hi, I purchased an Octane 1080GPX several years back from PCS, and recently the 1080 burned itself out. Finding a *nearly* identical model for sale, I jumped in hoping it would work. Unfortunately, although physically identical, it was the model 'b', where the laptop had come with the model 'c'. Scrambled screen.
So I tried replacing the VBIOS with a copy from the 'c' 1080GPX. Scrambled screen.
Having tried most of the VBIOS listed for the 1080GTX MXM on Techpowerup, and all result in scrambled screens, am I missing something important?
Should I be aiming for a copy of the 'b' version or 'c' version VBIOS? Will either of them work, considering neither of them worked so far.
Is it something in the BIOS itself that needs changing?
Posting here instead of DMs as perhaps any help may help someone else in a similar situation.
