Just sold my other 5090 Suprim SOC yesterday. The card was actually better than my 5090 D HOF, but I prefer the uniqueness of the 5090 D HOF and the dual power connectors to protect the card. The extra 100Mhz on the core is cool, but meh, I just don't care anymore lol. I bought the 5090 Suprim around the excitement of the 800w Matrix vBIOS but in the end, I don't trust that much over the single cable and the card was barely used. Luckily for me the 5090 cards are insanely priced now and I was able to dump it locally for well above what I paid for it. I doubt were going to get a 5090 Ti, hell at this rate we might never see a 6090 lol. Either way, this generation has been pretty squeezed at this point and it's all pretty boring for me. I've gone back to just gaming and less worrying about my frame rates and tuning. It's a lot more fun lol. Battlefield 6 has been my main lately.

Hiya Dink, glad your on the path to get it sorted. Yeah SSD on the 8570W's really improves things, i have a samsung Evo 1TB SSD on it now going from an 500GB HDD, really moved faster. maxed it out with a i7-3940XM. Agree the older smaller cards do just plod along, currently trying to get the 980M from SuperMG working at present to give it more life. I get the image display errors too, thought it was only me. Also in UK too, so its not just you.

hi, ok how much are you willing to sell?

eDP cable is for M17x/AW17 series, M18x is LVDS only. Yes M2000M + Tesla P6 should work in PEG but I haven't tested it. fastest card I have tested is RTX 5000 in slot 2 PEG with m2000m in slot 1.

I am sorry that happened, brother. Did they let you go for financial reasons? The company I worked at for 6.5 years let me and about 15 other people go due to a slump in business volume that lasted more than 6 months. It was unavoidable for the company, but still terrible for those it affected. It took me about 90 days, about 200 applications and many interviews to find another job. The only time in my 40+ year work history that I changed jobs where it wasn't a self-betterment decision and on my terms. God provided for us, but it was still a pretty demoralizing experience. I'd love to have an Alphacool block on my 5080. As much as I hate air cooling, I just can't get past the idea of paying $300 for a mass-production GPU block. Even the cheap ones (Barrow and Bykski) are similarly overpriced and not worth the asking price.

Dang! Ya’ll I got fired today. Been with the company 6 years now. I’m kind of relieved. 😌 PS: I ordered a Alphacool block for my 5080! 😎

New BIOS from ASUS added new memory overclock settings (tCCD_L, tCCD_WR and tCCD_WR2) that basically seems do nothing whatsoever. BIOS 2304 seems OK for me. Changed "Auto" to the recommended 21-84-42 but found no change in performance noted using my daily driver settings. Haven't tested my max OC with the chiller, but I don't expect any change. I guess it must be better just because you can adjust new settings that do nothing. Kind of like a fidget toy for computer geeks.

They found it easier to make money screwing a quarter as many people four times worse per sale. As long as it looks fancy, or just plain goofy, and has RGB an idiot is going to buy it (likely using high interest credit) no matter how hard they are getting screwed. Form over function. Ice cream for all the kiddies.

NVIDIA finally announces their CPUs. NVIDIA Spark ARM CPUs, with (up to) 6144 Blackwell CUDA cores and (up to) 128 GB of unified memory. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/06/nvidia-gets-into-the-arm-pc-business-with-new-high-end-rtx-spark-processor/ Lots of comparisons to what Apple has been doing with laptops. If the efficiency is good and the price is right, it could be really compelling. Interested to see how it develops.

I upgraded my x170km from 144hz to 360hz (Alienware 17) but lcd edp connector is also 40 pin but 0.4 or 0.5 pitch, different from OEM. I use adapter from AliExpress, and installed well. Works flawless but no G-Sync because lcd isn support factory. No needs changing lcd cable. I have Origin bios dump, i make backup before flashing xmg. Command FTP. But i don't know about version.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/254297767533 I'm not sure if it's against policy, but here's the x bracket I used. It worked fine for me.

I think I ordered my x bracket off ebay. I needed one with just the "X", the factory one has an extra piece that will hit components in the card. I didn't touch the vbios, just used nvcleanstall to modify the latest driver at the time and it works perfect. I don't notice any throttling, though I don't gsme on it all that much either. Just for the fun of it.

Works, but disassembled. Outer great condition, also has extra performance cpu heatsink (3pipes) and gpu performance ( custom full copper for gtx10xx ) heatsink for additional money

@Daedalus well I thought that till I spent a few weeks trying to get a screen working with an Nvidia card 😂 blank screens are hard to fault find , but I do love DC screens the colours are amazing. It does look nice on the AMD Firepro , just not that good as its only got 1 GB vram , it came with a 1TB 5400rpm HDD so performance is slow , but it will be built on an SSD but can't till I get this video issue sorted , I want to use this copy of Win 10 as a test bed for drivers etc before building a final version on SSD . I am on a HP 8760w with a DC screen now , never felt inverter get really hot ? it's been on for 6 hours now lots of video etc but nothing crazy and its probably warm to the hand ( 40-45c ) however I am always on 230w power supply so no heat from battery .( Ambient 20-25c ) On my old 8740w with DC the converter board behind screen was missing a heat sink pad , putting one in made the back of screen cooler as it sinked away heat better rather than a hot spot that was hot to the hand 50-55c ? Why do I get this on @GuitarG posts , do I need to VPN to see it ? I am in UK.

Get the Alienware M17X R4 120Hz or 17 R1 120Hz for eDP

I kinda browsed around to see what cards are available. I ran across an interesting mod on ebay that there is a mxm to edp cable mod. I don’t know how much this will help with compatibility with certain cards. edit: would a m2000m + Tesla P6 work in peg?

All the more reason Intel is better off shifting towards a foundry only company.

You don't see many shunted and blocked 5080s. Let's see where that puppy can go! -------------------------------- Clearly we're into the next intra-phase of the 5000 series with specialized variants of cards dropping along all tiers including the 5090... MSI: New Suprim variant with more protections, monitoring and fuse..... Gaming updated cooler quieter.... in case you don't know, MSI 5090s don't have the most quietest of fans..... GIGABYTE: Gigabyte is all in on that "Infinity" aka TRON Lightcycle look which I do not like at all..... PNY: Even PNY is getting in the game offering their first AIO based 5090.... ASUS: Aesthetically, this might be my favorite 5090..... Would make for a killer all Asus BTF system and looks MUCH better than the Matrix while giving you the full 800w treatment.... https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-launches-800w-rog-astral-rtx-5090-edition-20-with-curved-oled-panel -------------------------------- Nvidia all in with CPUs with full Windows support..... https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-announced-rtx-spark-chip-for-windows-on-arm-with-rtx-gaming-support I just feel like Intel/AMD are under a true assault from many CPU makers now with ARM and it wouldn't take much for a downhill shift to ARM as the dominant consumer platform sooner than later. Once we get a true Apple like Rosetta translation situation going and making the transition fairly easy, I can see x86 becoming a thing of the past in the future. M$lop is fully in on ARM anyhow on their devices and operating systems. We've seen Apple's M chips equaling or flat out beating AMD and Intel desktop chips over and over again..... Nvidia with their resources and technology entering the arena could be the inflection point that has slowly been brewing....

Here is bro @Mr. Fox next killer PC upgrade😁 And who need more than RTX5070 performance with all the fake frames. Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra could be your killer PC upgrade Asus always find new ways to increase profits... Asus' monstrous ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20 includes expansive curved AMOLED display — also debuts 3,000W power supply and striking PC case Beyond the significant frills (i.e. the screen, the design), it looks like the Edition 20 raises itself above ‘ordinary’ Astrals by leveraging boosted power delivery opportunities. Standout claims for this new graphics card include the provision of a dual-input power subsystem, with a detachable GC‑HPWR adapter, for providing up to 800W to the graphics card. Asus have also increased their prices for their graphics cards. This from the official Asus US Store... ROG Astral GeForce RTX™ 5090 32GB GDDR7 OC Edition - $4,329.99 And ROG Astral LC GeForce RTX™ 5090 32GB GDDR7 OC Edition - $4,529.99 Yup, the vanilla 5090 Astral is now above $4.300 USD on their official US Store. That's devastating. And I'm sure the Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20 will cost around $5000. Prises have also increased here home. The Astral 5090 OC cost $3767,00 USD (MSRP) here or around $600 cheaper than in USA. Still, damn expensive. The use of Anniversary sales tactic is pure milk cow. Also Msi and Gigabyte milk as hard they can on this

Okay so the RTX A5500 is soso Worse performance than the RTX 5000 Turing! Not even RTX 3080 LEVEL! Backlight mod works with the M17X R4. I tested it on the M6700, M17X R4 and even in the P775. Same results!!! HDMI (DP_C) doesn't work in the M17X and M6700 but works in the P775 It's not about the PCIe bandwidth as I tested with a PCIE x16 3.0 laptop. 8000 pts in TimeSpy (all) 22600 pts in firestrike (all) 160FPS in Heaven benchmark (M6700 and M17X R4) 235FPS (P775 wtf) ... Normally I should get 10000 pts in TimeSpy with the A5500 115W. X-Vsion told me it's a "132W" variant, that's a lie, the VBIOS has a max TDP of 115W. Very disappointed, don't buy the RTX Quadro Ampere from X-VSION!! Worse performance ever, just get the GeForce ones, they perform better and normally. By the way, why the card is consuming 20-30W in idle??? Turing and Ada cards I have do 5-8W in idle

@Dink Damn you got a DC screen, you lucky soul. I wonder if the invertor under the screen area needs a heatsink of sorts as it seems to run hot. That said an AMD card shouldnt push it too much, heck even the M3000M should be fine. IIRC, the dell Bios are more amenable to our machines, as @JadeRover mentions seem to be more usable, the 980M i got from SuperMG on here has it i think as the card came from a 6700, so hoping i get lucky and get POST displayed. If you do get POST then at least you can flash a new VBios via NVflash, otherwise its oldskool via CH341A (which im not looking forwards to as its not 100% successful)

Please check the v2 thread and yes it was tested in simulation then in an Arduino then tested the signals again in the factory. I'll test it tomorrow (hopefully) with a M4800 + RTX 4070

How will PWM work on the V2 cable? I am curios

Doesn't work. I tried that too
