My laptop uses an LVDS internal panel, if I’m not mistaken, and the display signal is routed through the iGPU via NVIDIA Optimus rather than a direct dGPU output. That said, I mostly run it with an external monitor over DisplayPort. I rarely game on the internal display while mobile - in those cases, it’s mainly used for productivity work. With my previous Quadro RTX 3000, I didn’t notice any significant LVDS or Optimus-related bottleneck. Performance was nearly identical between the internal panel and the external monitor. In any case, now that I’ve installed the new card, I’ll see how it behaves in real-world use.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I received an RTX 4060 from Xvision today. I’ll try modding a heatsink over the next few days to run some tests and share feedback for the MSI GT60. My laptop uses Optimus, so I shouldn’t run into too many issues. I previously had a Quadro RTX 3000 installed and it worked without any problems. I didn’t go with the 4070 since these machines tend to get heavily CPU-bottlenecked anyway.

Hello everyone, I came across this amazing discussion thread and it rekindled my interest in upgrading my old gaming laptops. I own an old-school MSI GT780 running an i7-2860QM and a GTX 980M 8GB, an MSI GT60 with an i7-3920XM and GTX 1060, and finally another GT60 with an i7-4960MX and a Quadro RTX 3000. I was wondering if any of you have experimented with the newer MXM cards on MSI laptops? I also have another question: I’m considering upgrading to an RTX 4060 or 4070 to replace my Quadro RTX 3000. Do you think it’s possible to install a Type A MXM card in place of a Type B one? Thanks everyone for your replies!
