W Wait is this the one? If so, bargain if it's as fast as you say. The 4GB vram could be a bit constricting though considering even my Kekler K3100M has that much. How were the frames whilst gaming on it? It also seems that sadly there are no AMD M6800 GPU coolers on UK ebay right now, not even international as far as I see. Is it possible to make do with the NVIDIA one and some thermal pads do you think?

Tesla M6 is theoretically as fast as a desktop RX470 though if I can get it working. My new latest concern is that I cannot see any 8-leg bios chips anywhere on the board meaning I'd have to try my luck with NVFlash. Especially as the one I'm looking at is a HP replacement card. Do you know how well the S7100X performs? From what I've seen it's really nothing impressive over what I already have. Edit: In fact looking at it, the M6 has a different chip in the location of where the BIOS chip on a 980M is.

After those gaming vidoes I feel quite confident that I could make the M6 game at least under Windows... might just buy it, and go for it that way anyone in future can know how to do it. At the end of the day, 70 quid isnt bad for this card especially if I can get it gaming as it should. Especially with that person's vBIOS which was used on one of these machines and known working. I'm assuming I'm okay to use a flashing clip to flash the vBIOS, and I don't have to use the command line utility?

I'd really rather not to buy outside of the UK if possible. The AMD cooler I'm not sure if there are any here, but I've just looked and there aren't any WX7100's. There are however MANY S7100X cards but I don't think those are much faster than the K3100M on paper.

Update: (?) Just found some videos of a guy getting a Tesla M6 8GB certainly working in an M6800. Not entirely sure what or how since the video is in Russian (and so are all of the others showing this as far as I can tell), but they definitely seem to get it working. There is one on sale in the UK right now, working, for 72GBP. Should I just bite the bullet here and go for it? What steps would I likely have to take to get gaming working on this for both Microsoft Store games, and Steam games? Linux? Edit: Just found also a person playing WatchDogs 2 on a Tesla M6. The game (the person shows the settings) is registering it as a 980M. Can the M6 take a 980M BIOS? Edit 2: After digging further into this person, they've made a video on how they got this working. They have uploaded their BIOS used, this video also says an M6800 they're doing it on as well. They recommended using a 980M driver (w/ NVCleaninstall), hence the 980M showing in a game. I've downloaded this BIOS just incase, and I think I may be onto something here.

Hello everyone, I own an M6800 with a 4710MQ and K3100M. The K3100M Kekler card is useless to me pretty much. I've been looking to upgrade it, and I have narrowed myself down to a few options: - Quadro P3000 6GB (slower than 1060, can it have a 1060 6gb mobile bios flashed onto it??) - Tesla M6 (apparently as fast as a RX480 desktop... when it works. no non-optimus output, apparently issues on steam games) - 980M (only a few on sale here in UK, very overpriced, near 300 pounds often. also reports of this overheating in benchmarks) - 1060 6GB (would have to be ordered from china, not ideal incase it doesnt work + long shipping) I'm fully aware with all of these cards that the cooler is going to need to face modification, due to the different spacing of the MOSFETs on Maxwell and Pascal as compared to the Kekler cards this would have shipped with. Along with also NVIDIA .inf modding to get the driver to install. I was very near to buying the P3000 and 980M, but apparently the P3000 needs an engineering sample vbios to not cause errors, and the 980M was really just more than I wanted to spend on a card of that age. Plus risking the chance it doesn't work + overheats too much. The Tesla card really seems like a good option, especially as they are very cheap compared to others for the performance. But I am concerned about being able to game on it since it was designed with Virtual Machines in mind. I really do not want to order out of the UK if I can help it for shipping waits and costs, and also likely bad returns if it comes to that. Oh yeah, and did I mention it's going to need to work on Linux too. The laptop is dualbooting Gentoo Linux and Windows so it doesn't nessecarily need to be able to render under Linux as long as the iGPU will continue to run under Optimus (although it would be nice). Does anyone have any guidance as to whether or not any of these will actually work (I know it needs to have a Dell, Clevo or Alienware vBIOS), and if there are any other better options. It doesn't really need to handle heavy games, but it would be nice to play stuff at a minimum of 60fps FHD Med on the thing. Thanks!
