    Congratulations, but how long did the test take? 🙂 A couple of minutes?.. If so, that’s not quite right - these tests are often configured to check only 10–20% of the total video memory (or a specific fixed small amount). That might be enough in case of a death of single memory chip, but for more complex issues, I strongly recommend to let the GPU warm up well during the long full test. To enable a full test, you need to open the MATS configuration file named 'runmats' for editing - and locate the line at the very end that calls the MATS program; it look something like this: "$LOCATION/$PKGNAME/mats" -e 20 (check only 20 Mb of VRAM) or "$LOCATION/$PKGNAME/mats" -c 10 (check only 10 percent of VRAM) ...and delete any symbols after 'mats"'. 🙂 Or you may comment non-modified line with symbols '#' and a following ' ', both placed in the beginning, and a add new one with a call of MATS without arguments. And you may wish to add as the last line of this file the command: poweroff Then your PC will be auto powered off shortly after end of check (it's very useful in case of long test caused huge size of VRAM). The results will be written into text .log file placed in the same directory. Enjoy. 😉

    Of course.

    IMHO, no. I’d say it looks like the GPU die separating from its substrate - a situation when data lines between video memory chips and a GPU break when the card heats up. Unfortunately, this is irreparable... 🥹 In case of an Nvidia card, it’s best to start diagnostics by testing the entire video memory using the appropriate version of MODS/MATS tools for that card's architecture. You’ll need a small bootable USB flash drive for this. If a specific memory chip is died, it will get very hot shortly after power is applied. In that case, you can use the "wet finger" method. 🙂 It would probably be best to realign the heatpipe(s) using a non-functional, "dummy" graphics card?..

    Gemini wrote to me that in 9x revisions of audio processors, IDT used "a much more aggressive and intelligent dynamic range compression algorithm. It 'pushes' quiet sounds and gently limits peaks. Subjectively, this is perceived as a sharp increase in density, 'thickness' of the sound and volume without any noticeable speaker wheezing." (c) Furthermore, "In 9x revisions, the algorithms for virtual stereo widening and bass boost compensation were refined, which are hardwired into the codec's processing logic." (c) So it turns out the AI was right about everything, right? Is the difference really noticeable to the ear? --- P.S. Just curious - why did you replace your 92HD80 with 92HD94 and not with other 9x?

    Hi! Could you clarify: how noticeably did the sound improve after this upgrade? What exactly improved, in your opinion? Are all the audio ports working and any issues with jack sensing? I'm looking at the datasheets: the main difference between 92HD9x and 92HD8x is the replacement of the Class AB power amplifier with a Class D amplifier. And the closest equivalent to 92HD81 is 92HD91 (there's no datasheets for 80 and 94). 🤔 Does this upgrade make sense if the original audio processor is working properly?

    Yes, this is it. Congratulations on the screen type. Take care of it, such LCD's are quite rare now.

    Last year, I bought a brand new, sealed M3000m designed for Dell Precision 7710/7720, which came with the stock BIOS 84.04.9B.00.14 (exactly the same as in the link to technopowerup site above), and it works on my 8770w without any issues. However, my screen isn't a DreamColor at all - it's ordinary N173FGE-LA3 (HD+, LVDS 40-pin). Are you sure you have a DC screen? What's the hardware ID for your screen (look in Device Manager, string MONITOR/xxxyyyy)?
  10. Vladka76
    No, it's not possible OR not easy. IMHO. 🙃

    It's very nice to read this!

    Absolutely right! And my 8770w also needs the same cable. 🙂 I looked at the schematics – he uses the DP_D port to output the image to the internal screen, which is standard. But if you have a boardview file for 8770w, please email it to me. I would be very grateful! My understanding is that on the motherboard connector side, I need to swap the wires in the cable connector from the LVDS interface (16 pcs: pins 19-26 and 29-36) to the DP interface (10-12 pcs: pins 39-50, possibly excluding 43 and 44). The question is - what's the best way to handle the unused wires? Pull them out? And on the display connector side, I need to completely replace the existing LVDS connector with a standard eDP 40-pin connector for displays and solder the wires according to the standard eDP 40-pin pinout. And theoretically, 😁 everything should work...

    Thanks, but that wasn't exactly my view. 🙂 It seems you've misunderstood the idea. She was to use only a modified cable between the motherboard and display, without a converter board at all. Re-read the latest replies from DevilAnGeL, the author of the "Ultimate 8770W yet?" thread. You even wrote there earlier. I've read that DELL workstations also use a similar converter board (with a newer microprocessor). I can't say how compatible it is with HP.
  15. Vladka76
    I think so. But in your case, I would start by examining the characteristics of your current screen. AIDA64, then panelook.com 😉
  16. Vladka76
    Yes, I've read that before. Overall, it's encouraging. But there are a lot of things I'm not happy with: - I think installing 4K monitors with high refresh rates on a less modern graphics card is too much. It's trendy, I agree, but it significantly increases the graphics card's workload in 3D, which will lead to frame rate drops and stuttering in games. I'd stick with Full HD and 60Hz — that's the bare minimum; - I have no idea how to buy on TAOBAO; - I'd prefer to make my own cable. 🙂 Sounds like a good idea, I agree. I would also buy a screen from the same laptop model as the graphics card was intended for, because of... your least favorite word. 😀 Although, also need to pay attention to the screen hinges. While browsing our marketplace OLX, I discovered that HP ZBook 17 g5 uses LP173WF4-SPF7 (LG Displays, IPS, 60 Hz, eDP, 30 pins — everything I need to be happy 🥰) as its native screen. The seller claims that it is compatible with g3 — g6. Please treat your hands. Good luck.

    This sounds quite logical and correct! 👍 The answer can probably only be given in practice... How difficult is it to find them for sale? Was there any information on how successful it was?
  18. Vladka76
    🤩 This is simply great! It seems that it is better to buy M6700 with LVDS cable and display? Have you ever upgraded our EliteBooks (8560-8570-8760-8770)? 😉
