There is surprisingly no vBIOS information out there for these GPU's. This could mean that the system BIOS controls the card, rather than it having it's own vBIOS chip. The M14x R2 had something similar with its GTX 660M.

Thats bad news for us then, they tried to copy the memory table to a w7170m bios but it shows 0mb in gpuz and not working as it shoud be. We want to make the s7100x work in laptops, cuz they are still usable (And cheap vs performance).

I tried something like that with the Nvidia Tesla M6. It is crazy cheap and apparently similar to 980M performance but it has no native video out. It's a graphics accelerator card for a HP server, or something like that. I couldn't get it to work but apparently there's a way, probably something similar to what you're trying with the AMD card. I should have tried flashing a Quadro vBIOS on it.

Same reason for us , the s7100x is very cheap , probably 1/8 of the price of an 980m , and 970m what we get in performance.

AMD Radeon R9 M295X GPU sold on the 2015 Alienware 15 R1 laptop. Dell never offered any VBIOS updates.
AMD Radeon R9 M395X GPU sold on the 2015 Alienware 15 R2/17 R3 laptops. Dell never offered any VBIOS updates.
AMD Radeon R9 M485X GPU. I do not see that on any of our laptops?

I understand that no updates was made, we just need the basic vbios to modify it for an s7100x , the s7100x vbios is not capable to make any video outpur but the card it self is capable, we strugle whit the w7170m vbios memory table to get it work .

There is an eBay seller selling cheap Quadro M3000M's (~GTX 965M) and M4000M's (GTX 970M). I picked up an M3000M for about $55USD plus shipping and I think the 4000 is about $80.
