It can work in M18xR2 in SG mode but not PEG. Might need to check heatsink. In M17xR3, do you have 120hz 3D panel or LVDS 60hz panel? Don't know if you saw my new custom bios but I got P5000 & RTX 4000 working in M17xR3 using eDP 3D 120hz panel.

It's useful to see the gpu & cpu scores

The memory has no XMP profile.

I bought both part numbers of dmc cards along with a antenna for 17 r1. my m14x r2 already has an antenna so I can test both cards

His bios was over 12MB already and it uses a newer Intel ME. It's not "simple" to switch from DP_D to DP_B in the laptop, if it was it would be done already. Again everyone who only thinks in hardware takes software way too lightly. I'm a hardware person myself, but after these last few months working on bios modding, I see how tedious it is just to implement one thing. For me this is low priority for now. Once I have done my other mods I can take a look, but edid being a simple issue, it's not much of an issue to me. I'm going to make a simple windows program that autofixes and autodetects this in the future, but that's after I get my 4090 heatsink and swap the eDP panel for my 17 R1.

Janepa said that on M18xR2 and it requires heavy bios modding and a new bios chip to support a larger bios. I haven't looked into that myself yet but it's something I can look in the future. It's much easier to make a small app for windows that fixes the edid issue if the bios and everything works fine (only windows issue)

That's very interesting, so the laptops themselves don't even care about eDP on A, C, D. I will need to look into the vBIOS more now with this data. If you can get their 5080/5090 vbios send to me so I can check it as well. This is all a windows issue with nvidia driver.

Try a old driver like 425.xx first and see if that works. If not, you can try a dell vbios on the card (backup old bios)

What about 4080/4090 on AW? It also show bios screen with eDP cable then windows black screens?

Have you tested this on AW systems? I don't have any non AW to test atm but having this knowledge will help basiclaly, A, C, D will show bios screen but not work in windows with edid override

I forgot to ask, so since the DP is on A or B, do you see any bios screens on the 4090/4080?

I added DCB support from Fermi to Blackwell. Release v1.24 Fermi to Blackwell DCB Support · ssj92/Nvidia-vBIOS-Clock-Power-Tweaker-w-DCB I think @SuperMG will use this feature a lot.

Just checked 2 5090 & 3 5080 vBIOS. 2x 5080 = DP_B 1x 5080 = DP_A 1x 5090 = DP_A 1x 5090 = DP_B So none have DP_D. I'd be surprised there's any 5090/5080 with DP_D eDP since 4090/4080 doesn't have any

It means as long as I order the correct antenna board and cable, the wihd card should also work in M17xR3 then. Someone told me the DMC cards are limited to iGPU but if it's wired through MUX it should work with dGPU. I'm still trying to figure out all the parts. hard to find proper info and a place where I can get all the parts in US

I still don't understand if there's literally several different models with several different antennas or just 2 models and 2 antennas. For sure M14x uses a different antenna. Then there's the SIL-SK63100 vs SK9210-HS models. M14x for sure uses SK9210-HS model but I am not sure what m18xR1, m17xr3, aw17, aw18, m18xr2 use. If they all use the same SIL-SK63100 model then what about antennas? i found a m17xr4 antenna but no idea if it's the same for m17xr3. I also ordered the vizio receiver/transmitter pack on eBay but now need to figure out the DMC port cards. the part numbers I have for m17xr3 are different from the ones for the other models I found online but some listings show aw14/17/18/m18x/m17x all together
