Not sure what is going on at AMD but Ryzen 5 has more or less flopped and there are ridiculous performance issues vs prior generations.
-
There is a segment mentioning the issue affects laptops.

Precision 7540 & Precision 7740 owner's thread
nforce4max replied to SvenC's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
The gpu in this case has to be of the same generation as the machine and you'll need a heatsink as the current one isn't going to fit. -
One thing that will never change is that some personalities mainly sociopaths and psychopaths have zero empathy nor concern for the well being of others hence the massive layoffs as if were nothing. They only care about money and status nothing else.

7730 and 7740 have the option of using AMD and there is a specific heatsink however it is expensive like $90 from the few I've seen on eBay. For good bang for the buck the RTX 3000 at $130 from the 7740 at least in the US is a solid option however you'll need to find the appropriate heatsink then you should be set. I only learned this over the past day as I've been shopping and was looking into getting an 7730 myself however ended up just getting a 7740 instead.

I would love to know the inside story and not just what gets reported to the public as reality can be absolutely ridiculous at times.

This has been the news for a few days however no one has made any mention so here goes.

Potentially it can work however with the stock vbios won't be driving the display on its own however there is a modded vbios for it that allows it to drive LVDS panels but I've never given that a try. A Good card for the m6800 would be an WX 7100 or an Quadro RTX as they are well performing and often very stable.

M4800 Owner's Thread
nforce4max replied to unnoticed's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
Installed an T1000 from an HP Z2 mini in my m4800 and it worked pretty much right out of the box aside from having to sacrifice an x bracket. The display is an 30 pin edp ips panel that came stock. -
alienware m17 r2 Alienware m17 R2 - SSD/RAM - upgrade question
nforce4max replied to Yariko's topic in Components & Upgrades
Yeah that is a load lol as more than a few of us have already come to find out that 4 and 8TB drives work just fine despite what is stated in the manual. Hell I managed to add a 4tb nvme drive to a precision m6800 and that is pretty old these days so you are good to go with that upgrade. The only time where a drive didn't work was due to power consumption more than anything else. -
Precision M6800 questions and upgrades
nforce4max replied to Jers6410's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
Likely to be broken or only partially working. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805917387211.html -
Might be hit or miss but DDR3 1866 is known to work on that generation which does give a bit of a boost. The msata drive is a bit on the small side and if lucky for around $40-50 could potentially get a 1tb model however the 2tb are not cheap anymore sadly. The 2.5 sata ssd is likely good enough though sometimes high end 2tb and 4tb turn up used that were retired from data centers with next to no use at decent prices. Be warned though the GTX 880m is known to run hot.

Not sure what is going on but it should just be pci-e 2.0 and you can use a more modern card with an adapter. -

For those who got a lot of job stress.

The whole situation with big tech shouldn't surprise anyone given the sort of minds and personalities that call the shots in these business typically cut throat sociopaths along with a few certifiable psychopaths. The relentless blood sucking for the sake of creating shareholder value at the expense of both workers and paying customers will ultimately doom the whole system given enough time.
