    and it will not work, because ddr3 modules for 16gb do not work on the 4th generation intel. you need at least broadwell and that depends on the implementation of the bios of a particular laptop. so count on 16 gigabytes maximum in case of 4890hq
  2. panda_zzz
    needed to remove 2 memory modules because 4980hq does not work with more than 2 memory modules due to the design of the adapter (there are rumors that someone saw that there are exceptions, but I have not seen any real evidence) about 4940 I do not know - I personally enough 4910 - they have no differences except for slightly higher frequencies.

    If we are talking about 4980hq from aliexpress you should be prepared that it is a lottery. I personally received one non-working, one partially working with one memory channel.

    I would not consider alienware laptops on the haswell platform (ranger & viking) because there are possible power limitations of video cards. so I would choose between m18x r2 (better possible CPU cooling, possible nvme in the second mxm slot, but 8 pcie lines for video card) and m17x r4 (slightly worse CPU cooling, but slightly more compact and mxm slot for 16 pcie lines).

    I think 160 watts is too much

    through optimus should work

    so i'm running the latest 460 driver available for windows 7 i think or something like that. but windows 10 is having problems. Both drivers have been modified by NVCleanstall.

    then there's no point in talking about 48 gigabytes it's a CPU+chipset problem. and actually 32 gigabytes is still enough
  9. panda_zzz
    If you have 6 slots soldered into your laptop, it could be 48, but I think you said 3.
  10. panda_zzz
    even taking into account that your laptop has a desktop chipset it doesn't change much - the same 8 gigabytes per channel, in case of three-channel mode - 24 gigabytes maximum. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/47932/intel-core-i7980x-processor-extreme-edition-12m-cache-3-33-ghz-6-40-gts-intel-qpi/specifications.html if you want you can experiment, but as for me it's a waste of money and bios will not be able to cope with 16 gigabyte modules, just like later bios for 3rd and 4th generation.

    The general case since the 1st generation of Intel mobile i-processors is 8 gigabytes per one slot for a memory module. the differences are in the maximum frequencies of this memory. if the slots are soldered 4, then yes maximum 32 gigabytes. but there are quite a lot of pitfalls from manufacturers, so I described only ideal conditions.

    the laptop won't boot up properly. 16 gigabyte ddr3 so-dimm modules do not work on 3-5 generation intel processors
  13. panda_zzz
    Maybe, although it may be a problem with the graphics card itself. or the combination of the laptop architecture and the graphics card driver. for example on my m15x with gtx970m and windows 10 nvidia drivers newer than 390 I think did not want to work.
  14. panda_zzz
    what laptop do you have this on? because i have optimus working quite well on relatively fresh drivers on m17x r4 and m4800 (something around 550 version i think).
  15. panda_zzz
    work the same way, but the limit is different, so it is likely that they can draw different numbers of frames.
