Try Batocera linux. And see If the GPU works there. They did some work (equivalent to nvcleanstall) but on linux. Maybe you can life the driver from batocera and use it on other linux distorts ?

Try it on an older Nvidia driver. And make sure you're also selecting the Notebook drivers, not desktop.

NVCleanstall is the only way I know how to. mess with drivers. There's also Frankendriver if you wanna give that a go. Have you tested the prebuilt drivers for malware ? I don't trust prebuilt stuff so I build my own.

Sure, this was my tracking number: SLX400107354CN 9200190384839410248621

mine was also shipped as: 8471604000

Also wanted to provide another update, as of the latest butterfly version of Batocera linux, this 4070m card is natively compatible without having to install any modified drivers

Ok so I figured out the process. Here it is: Install 7zip if you already don't have it installed Run NVCleanstall 1.19.0 (current as of September 2025) Select: Manually select driver version and Show all versions Select: 581.29 Windows 10/11 64bit Notebook DCH (current as of September 2025)...

@REVOCCASES Yeah I followed that and it didn't work for me.

Hey bud @REVOCCASES , can you let me know what device id and inf file you chose in NVCleanstall to build your driver ? I've spent a good 3 hours last night trying multiple id's and can't find the right one. The only thing I managed to do is use the trick to install the card using 1660 ti max-q...

So I can confirm this method works for me. I got the 4070m and I haven't been able to make a NVCleanstall driver yet. But this method worked. I'm yet to test RTX features, but 3DMark time spy seems to run without issues with a score of 9430

@REVOCCASES have you tried running linux on it ? does it also require a custom driver ?

@REVOCCASES Have you, or has anyone else tried modding the bios and reflashing it with a difference device id thats currently supported by Nvidia drivers ?

@REVOCCASES curious how you went with the card ? I just purchased the 4070 variant via SuperBuy so it will be here in a few days. A part from having to use custom drivers, were there any other challenges you ran into ?

Check this post I made how to make custom drivers: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/game-mini-pc-vx1-from-aliexpress-12700h-3060-12gb-mobile.19095/post-282086
