Yup, I wouldn't have bought it otherwise.

Alright my last resort didn't work to get SLI working on W790. So I will put the 5080 in as primary and maybe use rtx titan for PhysX LOL

RIP, in that case maybe i'll sell it or return it. I got it from the best buy drop today. Tried getting a 5090 but couldn't. Still have one thing to try with rtx titan sli mod to see if I can get it to work.

So uhh I was able to snag a RTX 5080 FE and am debating whether I wanna keep it or not. But I saw people talking about 400w and 450w vBIOS. Too bad all the links I've seen are dead. What's the deal with 5080 vBIOS? Is there 400-450w vBIOS that can be flashed on the FE cards? If I keep it I wanna do some benchmarking. 😁

I don't put liquid metal on my components anymore. PTM7950 should work well if the thermal pads are thin and allow proper contact to the core. So it seems 4080 supports eDP. Would be interesting to see it's thermal performance in M18xR2 with 3080 heatsink. If I can cool a 125w WX7100 OC in M17xR3, M18xR2 should be able to cool 4080 with 3080 heatsink in M18xR2. If that is the stock heat sink you're looking at 100w dissipation

You need to find a TB5 dock. There is a list of docks on reddit. And specifically make sure it has DP 2.1 or HDMI 2.1. I've used dell workstation docks but they will not support that high a res and refresh rate. Other option is, plug monitor directly to laptop and use a basic type-c hub for everything else

TDP is 150w. Should work fine in M18xR2 and M17xR4 I am talking to them now, maybe I will buy one for testing and post results. I also want to try RX 660 XT in M17xR3 eDP.

Price drop

Tempting...I messaged them LOL

so 6600 xt works on lvds? it shows all DP outs on the website. Unless it runs using integrated graphics to drive internal panel

Post benchmarks for time spy and fire strike here so others can also see and compare in the future. So it seems like you got it working. Someone else is trying with R9 M290X and there's isn't working but they didn't do the directX part which is also needed

Which registry edits did you do?

Unfortunately it started doing the TDP thing again, still trying to figure out what it is

Think I figured it out but need more testing https://www.3dmark.com/fs/33274452

I ordered mine, june eta date.

I was on top 5 leaderboards for 3dmark and even the cinebencz r23 was 37k! Surprisingly, this laptop was used maybe 10 times total and has sat on my shelf most of its life. I normally use my other 10 old Alienwares laying around. Selling to fund the 5090 model since I want the better sound. This laptop is still on BIOS 1.6.0! This means you can undervolt, overclock, do whatever you want with the CPU. I haven't updated and I have no idea if the newer BIOS' allow any of this anymore.

Unfortunately I don’t k ow but it’s sounding like May. Price might be 4199 but let’s see. My biggest issue is, AW is forcing RAM and SSD upgrades with the cherry mx keyboard alone.

I’m gonna order one when the 5090 config is available. Gonna sell my m18 r1

Hi all, Looking for a fully working US keyboard for M17xR2

I think I’ve decided on the AW Area-51 18. Got my 10% off coupon ready for whenever 5090 config is available. Didn’t pay Eurocom yet for the x580. It was $3758 out the door which I think is a good deal and cheaper than the AW but I don’t like the build quality

I got confirmation it has boot guard from the Clevo guru 😁 now I’m leaning towards the AW although I did get a really good deal on a x580 so I’m not sure yet. I think 3758 shipped for a 4k panel 5090 x580 isn’t too bad right?

4k panel but it looks like AW has 2 subs now so that changes things

I've heard the BIOS has boot guard so we can't do anything. Not sure if I wanna spend an extra $1800 on the Clevo after selling my AW. I get 37k CB score and the 5090 seems to not be that much faster than 4090. I'm mainly interested due to the better screen (4K) and much better sound system. You've had X170. How much better are we talking sound wise? I think the X170 sounded really good. Could you upload some pics of the BIOS? I am curious what options we have available.

Windows 10 Alienware Command Center works on Windows 11

Getting tempted to sell my m18 r1 and buy one of these. 👀 what’s the cheapest 5090 model? I see a 200hz 3840x2400 panel, is that one mini led?
