plug and play?

Depends on what version your Mac's using. Yosemite n ElCap just plug n play. On Sierra you have to do some mod in the display policy plist.

Did you flash the card or simply plug and play?
Did you lose bootscreen or the brightness control?
How did you solve overheating and noisy fan?

Thanks!

- I did not flash the card, just edit the Apple's displayconfig.plist file. the MXM was OEM for Dell Alienware laptops
- Yes I did lose the initial boot screen and no brightness control
- the GTX980M's power consumption are very low, no overheating nor noisy fan problem
