Yeah I still have all the drivers for the 21X saved!!

for x-vsion 4070, you can use the stock gt60/70 heatsink and modify it to make fit the card

and, i cant confirm if the video outputs are working

if it works on the GT70, works inthe GT60 since both are basicly the same

theres no data about the module he used. i dont ear the fan spinning at the maximum for example

yeah obviously i can modify it, but the thing here is. idk if it is going to work with my machine anyway... nobody tested that cards on the GT60/70. the only i saw its a quadro rtx 4000 working on the gt70 from a yt video. and the author dont described what variant of the card he used.

I am glad that this cache saturation does not seem to occur around Silvermoon Bazaar as I am running around there often with my profession alts daily. Abundance raids felt pretty smooth. I still need to try world bosses and run the raids with it. I made an decent effort tuning the Hydroc G2 with 275HX. I just came to the conclusion that it needs the water cooling addon to go further with memory. Carrying that around with the laptop is not something I want to really do. I actually get better memory temps under load with the Legion 9i G10 as its got the massive vapor chamber to dump the heat generated by the CPU and GPU. Not that it really mattered as the 2DPC SODIMM design limits speed and timings.

Actually it's 130W capped. Not 120W because I did a mistype. I did that because I didn't make my own custom heatsink at that time and the OEM one I had couldn't handle the 150W from a 4080 I had. The 4080 is in the M6800 with a custom heatsink made by Cicichen (because it was cheaper than making my own) and it works at full TDP. Max 154W registered on this MXM GPU. You can buy the new version later for 41€ on ebay.

Brother, im baffled? I have so many questions...okay so i can buy rtx 4080 from xvision and simply install in my p750tm1g? Abkut the mod cable jow exactly i may accquire one?? Full tdp? Why you capped your gpu at 120??

Yeah I feel silly now. The $2,700 dollar Astral seems like a great deal right about now. You got any of those? 😁😁😁!! @Mr. Fox Rocking triple 54mm thick HW lab GTX 480’s with Quadra pumps! Two in main case compartment, and one in the basement. These rads are insane. Have you ever tried them? I got hooked when someone sent me one years ago in a 280mm variant, it outperformed (2) 30mm thick EKWB classic 360’s. Hot air does not stand a chance in this case. It is pushing hot air directly up and out of the case, as well as intaking cool air from the front of the case. And from the basement side panel of the case.

Unfortunately supply and demand still rule the day and AI has really given AIBs and OEMs a level of control and power setting prices that is unprecedented in the tech circle because they know almost 50% (or more) of production capacity is already earmarked for SSDs, memory and GPU orders are booked for months if not years ahead so whatever is left over they can price aggressively but with some pricing I think we're seeing consumers simply aren't buying and "deals" and prices have started to fluctuate. For perspective, in their last quarterly call, Nvdia has now moved gaming into the "edge computing" category which is essentially their "other" column it is that insignificant to them atm. The one saving grace for AMD is their GPUs aren't nearly desired for AI as Nvidia or they would be doing the same too. AMD's best AI products simply can't compete. If they were on Nvidia's level, 9070xt's would be $1200+ easily simply because they would be selling out of their AI Pro R9700 cards. Intel reverse uno'd us with the B70 and we never received a proper B770. Instead they slapped on 32GB, made it an AI card and now sell it for $1k. Just as dirty. It's just gross out there right now and I hope consumers wake and realize corporations will jettison them without hesitation for profits..... Clicking though to Igor's, it is interesting to see the staggered costs based on costs and how the prices are predicted to rise. It makes sense even going back to last August when I was saying over and over time to by a 5090 because costs will be shooting up soon. If you missed the insanely good prices earlier this year or last holidays, it wouldn't hurt to get a GPU if you need one but I wouldn't rush. I'm fully saturated with hardware at the moment...even a bit more than I need actually across every category. I'm waiting on Nova at the moment and I plan on selling off some more hardware soon as we make some home improvement and upgrades (along with a strong decluttering) to top off the tax "victory" and purchasing myself a shiny Nissan Armada. This was insane to watch and Tony basically trying to help customers not waste his time or theirs and the sheer amount of scammers out there and core/memory devoid GPUs there are floating around. My favorite was the guy who said he could see the GPU core and worked for NBCNews in their AI/Web/Whatever department and the core and memory were gone on that Zotac. I mean, what's the end game here lying? Tony is just going to rip it open and clearly see the core and memory are gone and back it goes. At least he let him keep it most likely as payment / wasting his time but still..... If you're buying, test it before buying and never let it leave your possession. If you have to, drag your whole damn PC to wherever and a small display. If you're selling let the buyer fully see it working on site in person or give them the option to test then it is Zelle or cash and carry only. Be like my bud Matt who set up everything to score a TUF 5090 on FB for $2600 to replace his 3080, made plans to meet and everything. He had several nice voice convos and talked of even more future hardware buy/sells since they were both local. They agreed on the local Starbucks and cash and carry was no problem. At the last minute kinda off the cuff told the guy he would even treat him to a latte while he tested the 5090 since they had outlets and he was bringing a small PC to test the GPU before purchasing since their outlets could handle a basic GPU-Z render test easily and the guy insta ghosted him.....we had a good laugh over that one. I told him I wish he had just shown up with the small PC and a display in the carry bag then as you're removing the PC tell the seller you're going to test it first there and then before buying and watch his reaction.... Scumbags everywhere.... ----------------------------------------------------------------- 270k vs 9850X3D both tuned 270k wins at 4k 1440p is kind a wash X3D wins at 1080p The problem is all the high fps goodness of the 9800X3D can't help with the 1% lows and cache saturation and it then slides into system memory and when you have such a wide variance, the fall is a stuttering mess. I cap my frames for several reasons but this is one of them to keep variance narrowed between 1% and current/avg fps. .1% rarely happen, but on X3D you know when it does..... X3D cache saturation which I've been saying for years now at higher resolutions (and even lower depending on settings) since testing the 7800X3D vs the 13900KS at 4k 2+ years ago is the blessing and the curse.... Unoptimized slop and X3D looks like a wrecking ball. Both optimized? as always, things get real close, real fast. One reason X3D absolutely shines on laptops as @win32asmguy is currently enjoying. Can't wait to see Intel's bllc cache implementation.....

At this point it certainly seems that the quest is to identify the least undesirable option because none of them are good. The best plan might actually be to chose nothing and reject all of the options. What I would love to see is an aggressive wiper malware that specifically targets and destroys all AI source code in all platforms across the globe, and that it would spread like wildfire, uncontrollable and utterly destroy all of it and financially obliterate the companies backing it. Google Gemini, Chat GPT, Grok, Claude, LLaMA, CoreWeave, Baidu, Qwen, Tencent, ByteDance, AWS, Accenture... aIl of it FUBAR'd and unrecoverable, along with the money wasted on it... totally destroyed, permanently corrupted, unusable and nothing salvageable, and no resources available to rebuild with.

And it willbe worse if the rumors is correct. I would never pay more than MSRP for any Radeon cards. And I'm not even sure I would buy one even if I got it for a fair price below MSRP. If you haven't bought your graphics card yet, you should: the RX 9070 XT could go up by as much as 200 euros, and the RTX 50 series are headed in the same direction.

I tested up to RTX 5000 in SG and PEG. SG is limited to DX11 M2000M + RTX 5000 works DX12

Thank you for the registry mod! My understanding is that: SG RTX3000 only - limited to DX11 PEG M2000M + RTX 3000 = still have issues Will RTX 2060 work?

That sentiment has not changed. It was too much then and still too much now. The current prices are untenable and any gamer paying current prices for a new 5090 GPU is bereft of common sense. They either have so much money they have lost the ability to think rationally about their purchases, or they should not be trusted to make any important decisions about anything that requires average intelligence. Radeon remains rough around the edges and hard for me to get overly excited about as an overclocking enthusiast, but 9070XT is undeniably the best bang for buck gamer proposition that exists. That excludes any models sporting the petite arson connector. Those should be viewed as undesirable trash. It defies logic that they were able to sell any of them. The most compelling reason for buying a Radeon GPU is the avoidance of that trashy abortion power connector.

I am confident we could probably snatch up (3) RTX 5080’s for $3,000 USD. But yes you’re right the 5090 really is the worst value in history right now. That’s really crazy! Since we can’t even find one for an even 3K USD. I think (3) used 5080’s and (1) used 5070 would 🟰 (1) retail 5090. 😃

$1k all in is below MSRP on the Zotac and 5080's rip! I am pretty sure if that 5080 FE was flashable, I would have held onto it. Remember on launch how we balked at $1999.99 entry and Asus charging $2799.99 for the Astral was bonkers stupid? Good times..... I plan on riding this $1971 Open box Vanguard 5090 till the wheels fall off..... I wonder if anyone has done a deep dive to see what is the best bang:buck combo for this render / FG combo? ---------------------------------------------------------- Overall, if you remove the 5090 from the equation, the 9070xt is in there holding its own especially at its price point even against the 5080 in pockets.

Have you tried using Lossless Scaling for 3DMark benchmarks to see if it works?

In order to use GPU2 in SG or PEG mode, you need to perform registry edit. This is assuming you are on Windows 10 or 11. Here's the guide: Now we need to hear @Braintwistah opinion on the bios, I think he has some GPUs to test too

Not as hard as justifying the purchase of a 5090. The cost of two brand new is still less than the cheapest 5090. The 5090 offers less value per dollar than any other PC component in the history of personal computers. Current pricing is reserved for the mentally insane.

Update 2: I used NVCleanstall to install 960m GeForce driver on my m2000m. Then I used the disk method from Device Manager to install 980m driver on my Tesla M6. i just played a game of siege and it was running DX12 on my TESLA M6. Everything looked normal. Thanks again for making this mod possible. I will keep updating on how things go and any advice is appreciated. **** PS:Some interesting stuff I’ve noticed: SG Mode Intel HD 3000 + Tesla M6 = No games will launch due to directx error. Disabling HD3000 will allow games to launch but at extremely low performance. M2000M - Only works with the BIOS you provided. It’s DirectX level is (12_11). GPU-Z UEFI has a checkmark. Tesla M6 doesn’t. PEG Mode M2000M appeared to be handling all background tasks, which saves the GPU load and VRAM for Tesla M6. M18X R1 Display gives me eye faitgue. Using novideo srgb showed that the display is 6bit?(there is also a coaxial display cable that I don’t know what it is for). It uses dynamic dithering to function as 8bit. I changed it to static dithering and saved my eye fatigue.

Man, the clocks we can run on a 5080 is awesome! GPU Tweak III lets me run 34,500 on the GDDR7. This gives a +15% memory bandwidth increase of a stock RTX5080. It gets really warm with auto fans playing Death Stranding II at 4K. The thing is not bad for $1,000 bucks!
