Expresstyle

code 43 error could be a problem with nvidia dirvers or bios being not compatible with gpu, u can try older drivers, or try to flash original vbios and sit the gpu on the slave mxm who knows, might to post. unfortunately there are just two vbios on techpower an hp and dell one with different Device Id. just try to put it with original bios on slave slot, it probably will avoid the no post

Last thing that u can do its to use xtu to tweak voltage and change something else perhaps. If erorrs remains, Just Do what ssj92 says, ask for an replace

I think that It matches an 2080 mobile but not an full TDP desktop ofc . It would be an definitive Legacy mxm laptop GPU though. Sad thing its that surely Will be hard to get so not that commercial and Easy to get like on ebay. Btw It should be an 24k graphic FS score gpu

I dont know in m18x but in AW18 to reset the BIOS the only way to hard reset its to remove all RAM sticks Power on the lap and when u get the third beep (if am not wrong) u must to put at least One mem Stick before the fourth beep and It Will reboot, was something like this. I dont think that u have an corrupted BIOS or something like that, Just It doesnt work with Ur new settings Better dont mess up ti much with BIOS. Happened to me once hard reset method took me at default options

I am not sure but maybe It would work in lvds too

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amds-radeon-rx-6600-emerges-in-mxm-form-factor That's nice, it's in mxm 3.0b format! Looks that its manufacted for this egp Thunderbolt dock station for 600 dollars i guess https://www.taobao.com/list/item/wap/671865115314.htm?spm=a21wu.23452756.taglist-content.15.ed612ce703oQqY

windows 10, i don't remember exactly the thing but just i tried time ago to launch with gtx 880m dual in sg and everything was working but sli wasn't available and when i launched games they were crashing at startup. that's nice but sli can be fine perhaps with old dx11 games, sadly dx12 cant be forced to run in sli and developers doesnt support it ofc anymore.

Thats normal that during benchmarks clock goes slower due that scenes are heavy and needs more Power and to keep the TDP limit It Will keep slow clocks, in firestrike i stay at 1797/ 1810 MHz. The vbios i c'è flashed its an clevo One , i tried every 125w msi vbios none of them worked Just error 44 and didnt run drivers at all. https://easyupload.io/p3yfhh here u got just flash it normally though nvflash. it will give u a little boost, after that undervolt though msi afterburner +200mhz and go higher with vram. let me know dude make a backup of ur vbios with gpuz .download nvlash64 .put it on c:\ put vbios on c:\ open prompt command (administrator mode) type: cd c:\ type nvflash64 -protectoff type nvflash64 -6 nameofthebios.rom then yes yes and so on

I am using the stock heatsink, but the second mxm slot, It fits well the GPU. I get decent results because i flashed an 125w vbios ( 115w stock) i have the non gsync variant. The clock esentially its an +200mhz on core clock and +600 on vram. Temps at the Moment arent that good in gaming After a while 88 degrees Celsius but in where i live we have like 26 degrees so, but i Will put some liquid metal instead and It should to fix the thing. Try to rise the tdp. 1650mhz are pretty slow. It u Need some advice glad to help

It doesnt. They show up but you cant use any of them for 3d applications

SLI in SG mode doesnt work ofc but there Is some kind of tool that change something in Nvidia driver that allows to enable SLI on different cards without bridge or anything else It should to work Also on SG. Btw, using dedicated Pascal GPU on slave slot does help to avoid pwr throttling getting Better perfermance but must to tweak manual fans

this is with an gtx 1070 msi on AW18, it can rise a lot still, just waiting to flash an 150 tdp bios. but the cpu 4940mx is throttling with almost every game

Sure buut depends, cables are not that big so Bottom cover could be modified, for example, i ve an AW18 and i can get It in from Back fan grill, plus internal display should be working in SG mode Also. Ofc old laptop have really crap cpus these days, but with an rtx 3060 still can be fun

But thats TB, MXM its waaaaay faaaster than that due that its directly connected ti cpu so low latency and original pcie bandwidth

I think that desktop GPU Just needs really low Power from pcie like voltage 1.2v from very First pcie lanes to get enable and vrms use Just PSU energy.
