    I think your comparison doesn't really fit this thread because you have a different laptop with a newer processor😉

    I am using windows 7 as my operating system on this laptop, so running time spy is not possible. I don't see the point in upgrading to windows 10 on this laptop) If you want another visual test, here's cyberpunk 2077:

    As far as I understand, for your laptop should fit card MS-1W1E1, although you may have to additionally improve the cooling system

    The systems themselves are quite similar. The stock max processors are quite similar, despite the generation difference https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-4940MX-vs-Intel-Core-i7-3940XM/m9756vsm7092 The maximum RAM capacity is the same. However, as far as can be judged from user reviews, the m17x r4 has fewer problems with the latest generations of graphics cards - for some reason the Ranger does not always supply full power to the mxm slot. As a user of m17x r4 I will note some problems with the remnants of the soft touch coating and perhaps only me - hoarse low frequencies in the speakers (although the speakers themselves I changed to new ones from China)

    My m17x r4 with a fresh rtx3000. Really like the low temps even with full load

    I didn't dare to install the gtx980m in my m15x, and replaced the gtx970m with the m5000m as an upgrade. It feels faster, although due to reduced frequencies the result in firestrike is lower than the last card's result https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/114892760? https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/114929896?

    You decide for yourself) yes I agree asus w90 is a rare laptop but essentially I wouldn't say it is fundamentally different from pre-dell M17. The differences are more interesting chipset and support for 3 RAM slots)

    Maybe it's a problem with the game itself. https://forums.cdprojektred.com/index.php?threads/physx-on-cpu-only.11053112/

    Depends on where you want to put this card. If in Dell M15x it will work, if in pre-dell M17 r1 it will not fit physically, because it is a card format MXM 3.0 type B

    What do you mean? If we are talking about dell alienware M15x (2010) then it works any video card that can display the output via lvds that is max - gtx980m.

    I want to buy an extended battery for my Alienware m15x laptop. It is desirable that it is detected by the laptop, but the working capacity itself does not matter. Location is not important. Photo as an example Edit: FOUND

    It is not necessary to update the EC firmware together with the system bios. You can work with it separately, although it is a bit more complicated - through the keyboard port. This is common for ECs. Specifically, the Viking model uses a chip - ENE-KB9012QF - a very common solution and used for many devices. The main problem is not to get or flash, but to disassemble and add the necessary for Viking) I am oriented in electrical circuits, but I am not very strong in the software component.

    As I see it the problem is not in the bios or vbios of the video cards. The power supply to the mxm connector is handled by the Embedded Controller (EC), which is a separate chip with its own firmware, not connected to the main system bios. Judging by one old fix on the dell site, it is there that the operating modes for different video cards are entered, as well as temperature acquisition from sensors and fan operation. https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=vrvww Perhaps the different actions of the system when modding the resistor are just related to the EC versions of different people

    I will wait for news of your m17x r1)
  15. panda_zzz
    If you're interested, here are the current specs. I bought my 4870 just to try to install it instead of the 4670, even if it works, I will have to lower its frequency. The 4670 is a good card and the temperature has never been above 75.

    We'll see if you're lucky.) as far as I remember nvidia cards need bios 1.25 and ATI cards need 1.19. But with nvidia support more than 2gb of RAM is not detected. Here's the bios from the main card I have. I don't have the other one, unfortunately. ASUS.ROM
  17. panda_zzz
    yes this is the fastest ati card for the mxm2.1 connector. the fastest nvidia card is the gtx280m. asus 4870 supports crossfire connector for it is located in the back, but to find the cable as well as two cards will be quite difficult. in addition, for the main and slave card need different vbios unfortunately there are problems with the bios if you try to run a card from another manufacturer in the laptop. tested on pre-dell Alienware Area-51 m17x and Alienware M5500i-R3/ Amilo Pi1536.

    The best mxm2.1 video card you can put in this laptop is the black asus 4870 that was put in the asus w90. As far as I remember nvidia graphics cards will give a message about invalid mxm structure
  19. panda_zzz
    Still strange, because 980m works even in m15x which has a bios even older than m18x r1.
  20. panda_zzz
    Greetings. The gtx 675m sli worked well in R2, so there should be no problems in R1. The 675m is basically a renamed 580m, so should be well compatible with your system
  21. panda_zzz
    PNY/Adlink Nvidia Quadro RTX 3000 does not work with Haswell generation Alienwares (17 R1 Ranger and 18 Viking) and if you want to do Ranger modifications you will have to look towards HP cards + modify the mxm connector + cooling system. A bit more info here:
  22. panda_zzz
    Can you give me a link to the lot where you ordered the i7-4980HQ? I want to try my luck, but I can't find any offers on ebay or aliexpress.
  23. panda_zzz
    As far as I know swapping a motherboard from r2 to r1 is possible, but you need a few things besides the board itself: GRP9C - the motherboard itself, YYFHR - Additional Reader Sub USB Board M9T51 - SATA Hard Drive Connector XVNKP - HDD Frame Bracket I think that's it. as far as I remember the only limitation is that there is no space for mSATA in the r1 case.

    There is a compatibility issue between wwan cards and some mpcie slots. To avoid this, it is recommended to isolate usb3 pins on the modem, which include pins 23, 25, 31, 33. It is enough to seal them with a strip of scotch tape. Ideally this should be enough, but additional actions are possible in case of failure. On some modems like quectel this problem can be bypassed by software, but unfortunately on Sierra you need to act as described above.

    @ssj92 Thanks for the reply. I will try to contact Aetina to see if they will agree to send me the card and if they will contact me at all.) Yes I have seen the new Ada Lovelace modules, but I'm afraid to imagine how much they cost and what problems they will have. If Ampere family bios are still somehow studied, these new ones will be full of surprises.
