Have you been able to try the 4090 on m17x r4? The 3080 I have ordered is for the m18x r2 but thinking about 4090 for m17x r4 If it wont burn up due to heat issues ?

Can you send me a link to your backlight mod v.2 please ? I believe this Is your concept , Yes?

Were you able to get your m18x r2 to post with the 1070?

Marco, Do you still have the board view and schematics for m18x r2? The link above does not seem to exist on site anymore? Thanks!

Thanks for this!

How did the 4070 run?

I understand, when I bought mine I was not aware of the disadvantage of lvds.

did you try the 3080 on your m18x r2 as well?

Great scores! Did you try out the 4070 on m18xr2 or the m17xr4? Or did you decide on a different card?

Thanks for the response! I have a11 mod bios by swick flashed on both m18x r2 already using peg for the 980m sli. I get the sg mode limitations. Found cicichen594 and he said he could do a custom heatsink for my project. I have actually been thinking of trying the xvision rtx 3080mxm3.0b. I also have the m17xr4 with 120hz edp and still have the old 60hz display, it is running 1070 . I was curious about what has changed in flashing vbios as it does not seem that it can be flashed like the old 980ms. Is it that a suitable vbios cant be found or that the cards wont accept it? Since I originally planned on the card mentioned above I read more on this site about problems concerning using this quadro rtx5000 on this setup that drew me to the 3080. I Read what ssj92 experienced with the same upgrade and other than the custom heatsink it seems straight forward? I can mod inf. files but nvcleanstall sounds much easier and can eliminate unwanted bloatware? I have not used this before and wish I knew of It sooner. I recently saw and xvision 4070 on ebay was this your card?

Sorry, It would seem that I did not place this In the correct thread. I have now found the proper thread and gotten the answers that I needed.

Really interested in trying this upgrade for M18x r2. Not sure If anyone follows this topic anymore as it seems 2022 was the last entry. I will lay this out and see if anyone is still willing to jump in and help a newbie on this site. Really hope ssj92 might jump in as he seems to be the founder of this upgrade, what a great success and cudos to him. I understand the unlocked bios, the info mod for NVidia drivers and modding the heat sink. What I was hoping to hear back about is whether there was a power lock at 50w or did the install go smooth. No black screens or error 43? I believe from what I have been able to glean that the vbios that comes with the xvision card limits the card to 115w and is more stable in this set up even though it has the potential to 135-150w. My understanding is that the set up was straight forward without having to do any further steps such as jumping the pins for backlight ( only needed to run peg but wont work on this system) and that the handshake is handled by optimus for the lvds display. I dont recall that any edid injection or registry fix's were needed. I am running a 3940xm with 2133hz ram at 32gb capacity. I use a standard oc of 4.4 on the cpu. Thanks for any clarification.

Did anyone try the Quadro 5000 yet on m18x r2? I am looking into this upgrade. I currently run two 980 mxm in sli and I am looking to upgrade to gtx 1070. Really great that one of you seems to have upped to rtx 3080. Any info on the 3080 upgrade would be appreciated. Used to be at tech inferno and did the a11 unlocked bios a while back. Any info on above would be appreciated. Thanks
