Every benchmark that I saw when these launched put the difference at <5% if there was not VRAM pressure.

14% difference i not would call it nearly same performance(both at 100W) but yeah, they r close, n the price difference is huge from P4200 to P5200, for the 14% n double mem u have to pay more then double price 😬 on the other hand, u can cut the TDP from the P5200 to 75W n get the same performance like the P4200 but much cooler n less noisy + double mem. n still 💩 never a P6000 mobile was out(maybe prototypes), a full GP102 at 100-120W with 24GB would be really nice 🤩

Hello everyone. - Dell Precision M6700 with eDP 120Hz display: RTX Ampère and Ada doesn't work. No sign of boot, no splashscreen. Even with the backlight mod cable. - Dell Precision M6800 with eDP display: RTX Ampère and Ada are working. Displays on BIOS and on OS with the backlight mod cable. Exemple: X-VSION RTX 4080 displays on Windows, I didn't try to install the drivers yet because of the incompatible heatsink and pressure. I can't test the TDP. But I think I need to do some EDID manipulation because of the bad X-VSION VBIOS. No EDID manipulation needed for the X-VSION RTX 4070. I'm waiting for a custom heatsink. The heatpipes are already big enough for what is it maybe the plate should be full copper with some tweaks. Could handle max 140W? @Tetsuany news about ZRT?

Tempting? MSRP at $1260.45 (excl. VAT) for the Asus 5070Ti. Only 7 pcs. In stock - And just 1-3 days for delivery. Run and buy while you get it this cheap🤢 https://www.proshop.no/Grafikkort/ASUS-GeForce-RTX-5070-Ti-ROG-STRIX-OC-16GB-GDDR7-RAM-Grafikkort/3331059

Your ambient temperature in this photo is 10°F cooler than mine. Congrats on the PSU upgrade.

Replacement PSU as finally arrived. This box is a chonker.....thank you MSI for the upgrade especially considering the original AI1300P was an open box Amazon Warehouse pickup for $144.55 to my door. Every (and I do mean EVERY) RMA I've ever had to deal with MSI has gone perfect. Only knock would be the turn around time which I could see being a problem if it is a critical component. If they had a cross shipping service for RMA parts (not sure if they do?), they would be near flawless. Time RMA generated to replacement/repair received is on par with others before. RMA Generated 1/8 Original PSU shipped 1/9 Marked Received by MSI 1/22 Out of stock and replacement agreement outreach 1/23 (Friday) Replacement shipped 1/26 (Monday) New unit received 2/2 I will continue to recommend MSI for many reasons one being their service and support. ------------------------------------------------------------ Testing out the lower 265k + Z890 AYW tuned up at 8000 rock solid with the Red Devil 9070xt and putting an open box Corsair SL1000 SFX PSU through its paces. I can see why the Corsair SL line of SFX PSUs are the goats. Very cool, quiet and the very thin, soft, properly measured modular cables makes this thing a class above the Lian Li and Coolmaster SFX models I've tested so far. I'll be using the Corsair in my own, personal SFX build outs moving forward.... What makes the Red Devil stand out is how quiet the fans are even under load. That along with very low coil whine makes this thing crazy quiet even running Timespy or testing WoW/FO76. Clocks were boosting max out of the box up to 3275mhz ~100-150mhz higher than the gaming 9070xt out of the box. It is also much quieter both coil whine and fans under load than the Gaming 9070xt but this is to be expected since the Red Devil has a much better heatsink. ~30k stock is about right for the three 9070xt's I've tested so far that were all 3x 8pin designs. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm no fan of AIBs overall, but they can only sell what Nvidia gives them and without the OPP program in place from Nvidia, you have the perfect storm of quantity + higher prices overall right from Nvidia. It is disingenuous to keep comparing AIB pricing to Nvidia MSRP pricing. The correct comparison will always been initial MSRP pricing of individual AIB model pricing versus their pricing now. With the lack of supply, I wouldn't be surprised if many of these limited edition cards are nearly impossible to get especially with small runs. 1000 Matrix cards? 1300 Lightning cards? That's nothing and they get snapped up pretty quick especially the Lightning cards. I had zero desire for a Matrix, but that Lightning is much more tempting but I still wouldn't drop $3k+ on a 5090. If you're in the market for a GPU right now? Whew, I don't know what to tell buyers. AMD is still the best value atm even with inflated prices. I'm not a huge fan of the Challenger 9070xt having owned one briefly. Compared to the Gaming 9070xt and Red Devil 9070xt, it felt light, cheap and only had 2x 8 pin leads and clocked much lower out of the box than the other two but bang:buck it is at this moment the best buy for $699.99 at MC and everywhere else it is now $719.99. When it was $569.99 at MC, that was just a killer deal......

Thank you for the reply, Would the LP173WF3-SLB1 F 50pin be what I’m looking for? Or do you have any other screen suggestions more specifically model numbers.

I though M$ was just getting more and more stupid. But actually I'm stupid.....for not realizing they are evil

GPU ... GeForce 980M or Quadro M5000M are the best options for "hassle-free" upgrades in this system. (They perform about the same.) CPU ... only you can decide if it is "worth" the upgrade, but going from 3740 to 3840 is going to be pretty negligible in terms of performance boost, I wouldn't spend a lot on it. If you can get the better cooler for cheap, that's a good upgrade to do, these CPUs will max at 100 °C and thermal throttle under load so anything you can do to help with the thermals will increase performance a little bit. Display ... From what I recall, the original RGB IPS LCD display panel has been pretty much impossible to source for years now. You could get the 120 Hz display (Samsung I think?). It was marketed as the "3D" panel, but the 3D functionality won't work with a Maxwell GPU installed. It will still work as a nice 120 Hz 1080p panel. Note that it is glossy, not matte. It doesn't need a replacement lid or the interposer board, it just needs the "3D" eDP cable. (You will probably have to do a BIOS reset to get it to work after replacing a LVDS display.)

Just to add, on the heatsink adventure. Stumbled across this gem for the “A” heatsink but could be utilised on our hybrid solutions Heatsink heat pipe bridging in short it’s bonding the cpu and GPU pipes together. Appears to gain a 5 degree drop

Its their way of fighting antisemitism on the platform, It was never about chinese spying well in the past it was but not anymore, it was because there was too many Anti-israel posts on the app posted by young people criticizing Israel actions after Oct 7 so our government forced Bytedance to sell it to US backed companies mostly to Oracle which is owned by Larry Ellison 2nd richest man in the world and best friends with the PM of Israel. Tiktok users data are now in the hands of Oracle and there are more censorship on the platform than ever before. Its a long messy story.

Howdy, I’ve had an m6700 for about 5 years now and the only upgrade I’ve done is an m3000m. I would like to get the most reasonable upgrades I can and don’t want to mess with the p5000 or anything that’s just gonna be a massive headache, would the 980m be the best upgrade? Or is there one better without much hassle. I also have the i7 3740 and was wondering if the 3840 is worth the upgrade and if getting the 55 watt cpu cooler would help the 45w processors. Lastly what exact screen (model number) should I get for the edp upgrade? I have a complete nos lid top with the rgb screen connector and driver board, so I just need to know what screen to get and if the original is good enough or if there is a slightly newer better panel that would work. Any help would be very appreciated because I love this laptop and want to get as many years out of it as possible! Thank you.

See from 15:18 GeForce RTX 5090 turns one, now costs nearly twice the MSRP Extreme OC models are back, and even pure gold models One good thing is the return of flagship OC models. MSI, ASUS, and even GIGABYTE have either announced or launched limitededition enthusiast models. Unfortunately, it looks like none of the companies plan to make them widely accessible, either due to pricing or limited production runs. We are starting to think of these cards as influencer-only models.

I'll describe some of my upgrade attempts for my Acer Aspire 8735g laptop. I replaced the P-series processor with a T9900 and increased the RAM capacity to 4+4=8GB. The crucial point is the GPU. To upgrade it, I experimented with the AMD FirePro M5100 GDDR5 2GB and the AMD FirePro W5170m GDDR5 2GB. My original card was an Nvidia GT 240m. When I installed the AMD FirePro W5170m and started the PC, there was no image on the main screen, so I connected it to a TV via HDMI, and there was a video output. Naturally, because the PC's display technology was outdated, I couldn't get an image on the laptop screen. When I installed the AMD FirePro M5100, everything went smoothly, and the PC started, but this time I noticed there was no sound. The sound output on the card was conflicting with the PC's sound system. Despite trying different drivers, I couldn't overcome the sound problem. 🫤😁

Okay,thanks.By the way,i didn't have any problem with Quadro T2000 on my 7530 (Inf mod) playing Chivalry 2 (from Epic's store,it uses Easy Anti-Cheat).

you have hardware to test APO4 releases? i have only APO3 compatible device

Yes the shape is identical, but the material surely not. And with only the pro switching to the new material the differentiation will be bigger. But yeah there won't be any no pro 16/17 while 14/15.6 inch likely won't be put much effort in. In 13/14 inch size LG has a lot of competition, in 16 less and in 17 no competition at all. I'm pretty sure most sales have always been 16/17. It's not only tapered edges, the pro is a bit slimmer overall, I guess this improves stability as there is very little empty space. It's exactly the empty space that makes the non pro grams so flexible. But yeah I found an offer for a lunar lake Pro at 1100 euros so let's see. I don't think we will see the 2026 panther lake below 1800 Euro anytime soon, and maybe not even in sales next year dropping below 1500.

Cards from the Precision 7740 can be used, but as is typical with this sort of cross-generation upgrade, you will need an INF mod to load the NVIDIA driver under Windows and that can mess with a small number of games that are particular about driver signatures for anti-cheat purposes. I'm not sure about the heatsink. I don't think a swap is needed but I can't confirm. Carefully check photos of the cards and make sure that screw holes and VRMs are in the same position.

And what about rtx4000/5000? Will be necessary other heatsink or i can use default?

Because of the power cap, performance of P4200 and P5200 will be nearly identical in this system. The only reason to upgrade would be if you can make use of the extra VRAM.

Hello everybody 👋 Now i7-8750h and quadro p4200 8gb on my 7730.I saw p5200 16gb for a "tasty" price.Is it any sense to buy it (i mean will my cpu reveal this gpu?),and need i apply other heatsink with it?

Not sure when the bubble will pop but as far as conspiracies go profitability has obviously been abandoned for a good while now. When it does go I wouldn't be surprised if it ripples out into other areas of this rigged economy and crash it for good. Meanwhile

With the circus of failures at Micro$lop and OpenAI circling the drain, and now (hopefully) NVIDIA standing to lose billions, the bubble might break sooner than later. Fingers crossed. I hope they all burn brightly. It would be great to see the Green Goblin, Samsung, TSMC and others suddenly sitting on a surplus of product that their AI mafia cronies no longer want. The timing of the bubble breaking would also be perfect timing for Micron's recent nasty-finger salute to consumers.

5090's back in stock shipped and sold by Newegg reflecting the beginning of new pricing insanity incoming when they are stocked..... In their defense, Walmart is selling shipped and sold by Walmart the PNY EPIC 5090 for 4299.99 so this is the way things are going for 5090s..... MSI Liquid 5090 is also listed on MSI's site at $3699.99 too....
