What is an mxm slot12/11/2023 My advice here is to find someone with a similar model notebook who has made the same upgrade and ask them if the vBIOS was compatible and, if not, what steps were necessary to make it compatible. If you buy a third-party MXM module from the grey market (like eBay), it may not have a vBIOS that is compatible with your notebook. The MXM module also has a BIOS (video BIOS). So, if your notebook has a GeForce GTX 980M now, you cannot upgrade to a 1080 without BIOS support and MSI isn't providing it. But MSI doesn't always provide support for newer architectures and this is true with the 10-series dGPUs. Usually this is not a problem when upgrading within the same architecture-for example: upgrading a GeForce GTX 965M to a 980M. The system BIOS of the notebook must usually provide support for each model dGPU. Why is that? Before I attempt to answer, please be aware that this is a volunteer user-to-user forum. Many MSI gaming notebook owners come to these forums to learn if they can upgrade their NVidia dGPU.
