    Well, seems DC screen have new problem lately. I left screen closed for few days and that happened. So not only do they get very hot and are too bright (on lowest settigns), but they also have trouble with image retention 😕

    @JadeRover OK , that makes sense now , thank you for the explanation , I will let you know how my quest goes 😁 Regarding drivers , yes I have seen a few tutorials , looks similar to what we had to do years ago for Broadcomm Bluetooth dongles , in XP , That bit I feel confident on , but flashing with a CH341a 🙄 if I can't find a card in a couple of weeks then I may succumb to your suggestion. It's not immediate as I have this HP 8760w with a DC screen I am using now , this will be my upgrade 😊

    Hello, Yes, keep in mind all green pcb M3000m are the same regardless of HP or DELL branding, the only reason they call some DELL and others HP is for the different vbios. So yes if you convince the seller to flash that vBIOS for you it will work. Regarding driver install, you will need to mod an official driver yourself with nvflash (not complicated there are plenty of short tutorials on how to do so). No whitelist has never been an issue for me, only MXM laptops that have a whitelist and that I know of are lenovo P70 and P71 as well as early clevo dual MXM gpus laptops. Haha ok, honestly I would get a CH341a programmer, it really isn't that difficult to get it working, you can then flash 84.04.9B.00.14, especially if you still have your m3000m card with a zbook 17 g3 compatible vbios.

    The 115W TGP under sustained load in my testing was definitely a thermal limit at 87C. I'm disappointed given how thick the chassis is. Believe the Dynamic Boost portion of the TGP has always been software limited as it's shared between CPU/GPU.

    what GTX 1060 manufacturer you have?
  10. FrancoTecno
    yeah, the GT60 its weird to make heatsink modifications. actually the most safely upgrade its the Getac/PNY QUADRO RTX 3000 based on @sliderfra review. RTX 4000 its a possible successful upgrade since a guy made it working but we dont know too much details about it. RTX cards from X-Vsion arent a safe upgrade because we dont know the behaviour of the external outputs, on 4060 and 4070 probably not works since both are almost identical.

    I'm running 980M (1617) Clevo model perfectly fine in M15x. M5000M should run cooler though. No mods needed except driver INF mod

    No idea why they started with UHD and later released this QHD option. So far as I can tell the mobile X3D pairs better with QHD than UHD just like on desktop. FHD would be nice but it seems to be paired only with low end laptops at this point. Eventually they should put it on sale. The price for its specs are pretty high right now and honestly not worth it. A few weeks ago I saw the X3D + 5080 + UHD 120hz config priced at $2800 at B&H and there is no reason this should be more than that with its lower specs.

    @JadeRover Yes I agree I thought that , but was interested to know your thoughts , if I could find a seller with an HP card that was prepared to flash 84.04.9B.00.14 onto it , would this correct the DP output and would I then be able to use an unmodified driver , I would assume yes , but am I missing anything ? Some mention a whitelist on the video cards and you need a Dell card to get past it , have you come across any issues with this , I appreciate the Micro code in Main BIOS is relevant for it to recognise the card but I can't see HP putting in Dell ID's and not HP ID's ? Unfortunately the seller listing above , confirmed he had no idea what vBIOS they had and it was a generic picture , so the sticker is irrelevant 😥 So my quest goes on 🤣 I am predominantly looking for Dell M3000M now with 84.04.9B.00.14 , as you suggested , but still would be interested on your thoughts on above as you have tried MXM cards in ZBooks etc.

    Welp, I didn't receive anything this week but I got an update now and it says I'll receive the Backlight mod v2 cables on the 2nd June... I hope it's true... It's been in transit for 9 days

    Ah, I see, you are using one of XMG's BIOSes. I have those on file, I just have not flashed them because my computer has been working very well with the original BIOS from Origin PC. And it's unfortunate that you lose the logo if you use a different BIOS. There is a way to change the boot up logo, or at least I read a topic on that at the Winraid forums if I remember correctly, but it seemed a bit complicated and you have to know something about how to edit the UEFI, and I only half-way understood it. I just don't know enough so I have not attempted anything --- I don't want to end up with a bricked machine, no one does. My recommendation is to NOT go back to Origin PC's BIOS, you will likely lose the new Secure Boot certificates and end up where I am now. Your answer is quite helpful: it tells me that the XMG BIOS will let the new certificates be installed. But it does come at the cost of losing a BIOS that works perfectly well. On the other hand, everyone has good things to say about XMG's bios.

    Hello, Yes luckily M3000m is getting really cheap, I got mine for 70 euros last year, now the price has dropped ! Probably the best price to performance card you can get for a working MXM card with little hassle (it also has LVDS support for even older MXM laptops). I would get the "for DELL" version. I had gotten mine from aliexpress for my precision m6700 that also has eDP on DP_D (just like your system) it was branded "for DELL" as well and it did have the correct display outputs set in the vbios. It was plug and play and my internal LCD worked properly, I didn't check the display port but I assume it works as well. - I think "for HP" is for the zbook 17 g3 that these cards originally came from where you have eDP on DP_C -> You would have the problem you had previously of diplay output mismatch. - I think "for DELL" is for dell precision 7710 that these cards where shipped in as well. That laptop has eDP on DP_D -> Would fix your problem. Good luck ! You can always sell your old card for probably the same price you got it for on ebay.

    I’m hopefully picking up an ASUS RTX 5080 Astral OC tomorrow for $1,300 cash. I’m going to try to negotiate a bit once I meet the guy. It’s about a 2 hr drive. But it’s an amazing deal. If the card is terrible for some odd reason, and not worthy over my Zotac Solid 5080, I can always sell the Astral 5080. Those 5080 Astrals are very nice. But new MSRP cost is CRAZY TALK!!! Edit: Anyone playing the game Crimson Desert? It’s actually really good.

    Here's my CPU and BIOS: CPU Intel Core i7-11700K BIOS Version 1.07.09RTR6 Your system is literally a BEAST! I went to Origin website and downloaded their latest BIOS, I want to go back to Origin logo but I'm afraid of messing things up. 😔

    I'd say all games benefit from frame gen, but the base framerate needs to be high enough that the latency between you moving your mouse and the action being reflected on the screen is low enough for the game to still feel responsive enough. This varies from person to person, and I'm on the high end, so I still need a base framerate in the hundreds for the game to feel responsive. The base framerate also needs to be high enough to minimize frame gen artifacts. Things start looking really wacky when you try interpolating to 300 fps while having a base framerate of only 15 fps.

    Thanks , I do love the colours it gives , but the brightness can hurt the eyes , unfortunately it makes doing mods like this a pain. @JadeRover seems very clued up on how and why , reading back over the thread again , now I am at my PC. I think I may have to bite the bullet and get another card , this time a Dell one with vBIOS : 84.04.9B.00.14 , just wish I had the time to play / learn how to use a chip programmer and try the different vBIOS files that I have . @JadeRover I see a few sellers on Ali express list the M3000M with vBIOS version 84.04.9B.00.14 , they also give a choice of HP or Dell , I assume they brand the card in some way , am I better to get a Dell or HP branding , would either make loading drivers after this nightmare any easier is there a downside as I assume they can't change the PID/VID values or can they ?

    Yes, this is it. Congratulations on the screen type. Take care of it, such LCD's are quite rare now.

    I think this was the right screen shot you meant , PC loads the " HP Mobile Display Assistant " for Dreamcolor displays , and that only loads if you have a DC , it has the sticker on the screen trim saying HP Dreamcolor and I can flip from 8 to 10 bit support in AMD driver.

    Last year, I bought a brand new, sealed M3000m designed for Dell Precision 7710/7720, which came with the stock BIOS 84.04.9B.00.14 (exactly the same as in the link to technopowerup site above), and it works on my 8770w without any issues. However, my screen isn't a DreamColor at all - it's ordinary N173FGE-LA3 (HD+, LVDS 40-pin). Are you sure you have a DC screen? What's the hardware ID for your screen (look in Device Manager, string MONITOR/xxxyyyy)?

    Mostly using hybrid mode connected to 2x 1920x1080 24 inch ultra sharp monitors via DisplayPort or HDMI. We had some QHD and 4K monitors but it’s not the standard yet. 3D applications on external displays either displaying graphics or rendering although internal laptop panel is usually the primary display for me it’s mostly my email/ teams I have on that screen. we had some issues a while back with black screen on returning from sleep which meant unplugging the dock and plugging back in. I suffered from that but not seen in in atleast a month likely due to some recent updates. Ultimately keep on at support at some point you will likely have to play the game of resetting windows to prove it’s not a windows/ your environment causing the issue but needs to be escalated if they can’t solve it!
