@I_Viktor The Unlocked BIOS is available for free in the Alienware section of the Notebooktalk.net forum.

Yes, you definitely need this BIOS to run the 1070 in SG mode. If you need help installing the BIOS or the card then I would ask some questions over there.

@ mattyb3 I downloaded it, it’s a little confusing that the size is small. When I try to install it gives Error 28: Protected Range Registers
As I understand it, it's because the battery is missing.

@I_Viktor​ I have Alienware 18. One video card is broken. I wanted to change it to 1070. In the first port it does not work, 8 beeps, in the second port the cooler does not turn.

I tried everything before writing here. I installed the native bios A12 and other versions. I tried to install an unlocked BIOS via insydeflash, but it didn’t work.
