    Interesting. My lenovo system recognizes the card with that vbios while the Clevo does not. It does boost up to 1911, but the power limit is not behaving right. I'm hitting the power limit at around 120W, even at the stock 150W, or if I raise it to 175W. I tried 8GHz RAM on that which worked. Trying 9GHz and 8.5GHz got me locked to 6GHz though. GPUz would report the set overclock as the default clock, but it would actually run 6Ghz. Overall perf is worse on this even with 8GHz ram. Clock offsets would be fun if you could get that to work.

    This stock HP VR backpack bios worked to make the card post and get the core to 1911Mhz, I am trying to reverse engineer it to find where the 1911M hz limit is VS the 1708Mhz limit in the dell vbios. P5200_HP_ZVRG1.bin

    4090 works very well on the 9900k better than on the i7 4940MX/4930K 390FPS on Heaven benchmark 1080p Ultra.

    Sad, but you are probably right:( I wish mxm had become a broader standard and the cards weren't so damn rare. A rare card plus 100+usd cooler is not something I can afford, but it is cool to know that solutions exist to bring these laptops forward, hopefully until the 9900k becomes totally obsolete. For now, in terms of the power limit, the old driver wouldn't work great for new games, plus most of my use of the computer is on Linux where I have no idea how the power limit thing works. It may be dumb, but would putting a higher value shunt in place of the default one be an acceptable way to bring the power limit down a bit? Is there a vbios that would lower it? can the stock vbios be modded for a lower limit? As much as I like the idea of crazy stationary watercooling or mods that stick out the bottom of the case, this laptop needs to be portable enouugh to take to classes and durable enough to get tossed around on unpaved highways washboards without a fragile mod breaking or a fitting leaking fluid everywhere. They are annoying contstraints to work within when a solution to all my problems may well be cutting the bottom off and directing a 120mm fan into the base of the laptop, but I do still have to use this laptop for things

    Also, would a 1680 x 1050 panel work? 6 bit colour same specs as my 1440 x 900 without the need of the upgraded cable that the RGB 1920 x 1200 display. Requires? I was thinking of buying one of those opposed to the RGB panels as it’s probably going to take a while to find the cable.

    Hey! Sorry just seen. panel on mine is 1440 x 900 Samsung LTN170BT10-001 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
  12. cathoderayfish
    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
  19. 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
  29. 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?
