Sony Vaio VPCF236FM

[KruxConcept]

Hello!

I have a quite peculiar laptop and have been searching around the internet to check compatibility but i stopped at a stalemate.

This model in specific runs an i7-2760QM (HM65 Cougar Point), and has no multiplexer, just a GT540M that integrates the built-in display and VGA or HDMI external displays. It has UEFI Support as well.

Now on my search journey, i have found at the same time:

• nVidia GT540M Development
• Dortania's GPU Buyers Guide

One cites some compatibility development on the GT540M and another lists that the Fermi (GF108) is not supported at all.

Is it compatible at all? Cause unless i'm an idiot, the rest of the laptop should be compatible.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, nothing intel, only Nvidia.

EDIT: It could be that its disabled in BIOS or something, it's not an unlocked BIOS.

ahh ok, you could try High Sierra

Does High Sierra have support for it? It would be through the WebDrivers yes?

also thanks for the quick response!

High Sierra is the latest you can use that has support for Nvidia with web drivers
