    Hey! Sorry just seen. panel on mine is 1440 x 900 just installed the dell 970M appears to have some weird artefacts

    None will get discarded, these cards will get rarer and stay expensive unless someone wants to get rid of them quickly. Heatsink prices are like 100 to 150USD depending the laptop. I developed my own backlight mod cable. It allows to enable the backlight of the EDP screen and it also allows to set a preferred brightness for it. There's a powerful watercooling shared heatpipes design heatsink for the RTX 40XX for the P775TM1. It can allow 9900KS at 5GHz all core and 4090 without any thermal throttle for 400USD!! HDMI, DP are working yes.

    That's sad, I would have thought people would still be interested in bios mods and stuff even for the newer less-upgradable laptops I still find the p775dm3 to be pretty usable for modern stuff Mine now has a 9th gen CPU and 20 series GPU, sounds like it could be brought up so far as 40 series at least Perhaps Framework and the open standard for their PCIe bay will bring back some kind of modding. Would be cool if Framework went about making a DTR

    Interesting, all the functions work? any issues with some of the dp or hdmi ports? internal screen control? Did you make your own heatsink or did you source one from somewhere? This is not something I would be able to afford any time soon, but I will keep it in mind if the 40 series mxm ever becomes cheap and discarded.

    Yes I though of that as well, I am also thinking of looking into the voltage table that should exist? I found some info of it for Pascal on the internet, that might be a way to unlock clocks or undervolting for these cards.

    I’m really liking the direction ASUS is taking with the Duo as well—the dual-screen setup looks genuinely useful rather than just being a gimmick. If they can pair that design with a stronger GPU option, I could definitely see it replacing a larger laptop for a lot of people.

    In my opinion, it will be a while (18 months or more) until a "bubble pop". There is more than enough time for an IPO of Anthropic and Open AI, so that the public is eventually left holding the bag of risk, as usual. There is a lot of optimism about the prospect of superintelligence, also cultivated by some CEOs, and it appears to be enough to keep investors hooked. There are many factors that can delay this even further like increased inflation caused by geopolitical turmoil, scarcity of hardware or a legal framework that could prevent consumers from running competitive, competent open weight LLMs locally. Anything that is detrimental for the consumer running AI locally is beneficial for retaining the bubble. So we can bet we will see more inflation, more hardware scarcity, stricter regulation of local AI, and more geopolitical turmoil to extend the party.

    No. Then why do they work in the P570WM3 (2012 laptop) and on the P775 and P870? It makes no sense. I contacted kela-slk since this person tested a lot of MXM 3.0 GPUs but without telling the results at the end when he fixed his laptop.

    Maybe The x-vsion cards vbios is the issue
  12. Khenglish
    One possibility to get around vbios overclocking locks might be if we could get device ID modding to work. The P5000 is the same 16GB memory config as the P5200, so that could be used as a base. I wonder if the older P4000 and P5000 vbios aren't as locked down as the later P5200 vbios.

    Depends. on 1080p panel you will get inverted colors. On lower res panel it'll work. unless you do dual PEG trick.

    Thank you very much bro Fox🙂 I appreciate it. Got my first gift right now. From my lovely wife.

    It's almost midnight in Norway. Happy Birthday tomorrow Brother @Papusan. May you enjoy many more of them, filled with happiness in between. We are glad you are our friend.

    Frank and Dusty are jamming together in paradise now. Billy is no spring chicken, so he may join them soon. ZZ Top was one of my favorite Southern Rock bands of all time. True icons that produced some legendary and timeless music hits. The entertainment industry just does not make music like they did any more. I had the privilege of seeing them live, in concert, at the Arizona State Fair in November of 2005.

    Hello. This could be the best upgrade ever in MXM terms if someone can help me. I tested the RTX 4070 MXM and RTX 3080 (X-VSION) without any heatsinks to see if it displays something on the X170SM-G. Nothing. Backlight mod is on. I can change the brightness of the display but there's nothing on the screen. Both of the cores are cold in the touch. These GPU worked in a P775TM1, M17X R4 120Hz and P870TM1 (Also the Precision M4800 with the 4070). These P775 and P870 work with any RTX 20XX and 30XX from Clevo. So they use eDP in DP_D like on the X170SM-G, meaning they are electrically compatible. So my 4070, 4090 are working in my P775TM1. The RTX 3080 Clevo also works in my P775TM1. So what's the catch there? If SM/KM Clevo cards work in P870/P775, in reverse, why can't standard MXM cards work in the X170? Even my Quadro P3000 UEFI doesn't display. The laptop refuses to boot with it but with the RTX 4070 and 3080 it boots (no display). That could actually help me answer some questions: Did any of you try a standard MXM 3.0/3.1 card like a GTX 1070, GTX 980M UEFI, Quadro P3000, P4000, P5000 in the X170 laptop? If none of you can't get these cards to work in the SM-G then what's wrong? Help please. Will the KM accept the standard RTX, Quadro better than the SM-G? This X170SM motherboard I was using has an issue with the dual channel and it's coming from the PCH, so are the PCIE PEG lines impacted? It displayed with an RTX 3080 Clevo before.. I hope I didn't waste tons of money in the heatsink because of that...

    Lossless scaling at least helps the 21X to stay alive. It also helps utilize the the second graphics card to some degree. Thought I'd share that with people that own the Acer Predator 21X @Zeck @ElLoco93
  22. DylSki
    Hi I see in your computer list you have a M17X R2 with a newer quadro card. will a dell 970M card work in a M17X R2?

    I have both. Samsung tablet which is good for youtube stuff and a Dell laptop for real work.

    Hello. It would be better to get the RTX 3080 to run in a nice 120Hz eDP laptop such as the M17X R4. I got one on mine 120Hz in UEFI. Sadly due to the AVX2 missing set on the core i7 3rd gen, it won't be wise to use these Ada and Blackwell cards anymore. However these cards would be good for some Dell, HP and Clevo laptops! (AVX2 laptops with better single core and eDP display) 4090 is cheaper than the 5080. 5090 is unknown to work on eDP laptops.

    Hello. I tried the RTX 4070, RTX 3080 from X-VSION with the backlight mod v2. Backlight is enabled and brightness could be controlled. But, both of the GPUs are cold, not hot. The laptop boots but displays nothing. However these GPUs work in my M17X R4 120Hz and P775TM1. The VBIOS is in UEFI and the DP/EDP are set in DP_D. What is the issue? I use 1.07.04 bios. For the other laptops I have, they use the default BIOS, no modded ones. I tried to clear the BIOS settings by holding the power button for 60s with the CMOS battery being unplugged. I tried to do FN+D+Power. Nothing. However this laptop had a Clevo RTX 3080 MXM and it worked, displayed. Or is the motherboard 100% dead? Since the dual channel on this doesn't work. Can the PCH impact the PCIE PEG functionality? Did anyone try a Clevo GTX MXM or a standard MXM 3.0 card for testing? If yes, did it work? Will a X170KM motherboard work better? Why did the 3080 Clevo MXM work but not the 3080 from X-VSION? Makes no sense.
  28. Jerryzago
    Then flashing another BIOS would be your best bet. But it is a problem since the system doesn't detect it... You could try your luck and flash a vBIOS with the corresponding software, despite the GPU isn't recognized. Backup your original first and try another vBIOS
  29. Eban
    Unfortunately I am referring to both The forum is not what it once was, modding cutting edge laptops is a dying hobby. As you are aware newer laptops are not so modular with upgradeable components. Although some of us are into retro No true DTR for some time now
