    You can run rtx 3000 but it will be limited to dx11. For some reason dx12 doesn't work with intel hd 3000. I am still looking into that

    Good to hear the bios works well. I haven't tested tesla m6. Is it in SG mode or PEG? PEG shouldn't work in M6 since it's missing display outputs. Do some more tests, run 3dmark firestrike to make sure the card actually clocks up. I haven't tested M18xR1 yet,but M17xR3 SG fix broke clocks and needed 100 more bios builds to fix. I ported the logic to M18x so it might work. PEG fix: BIOS/display handoff patch so Maxwell can boot as primary GPU. SG fix: BIOS policy patch plus ACPI/AML porting so Intel graphics can own the display while the NVIDIA card is handled correctly as the secondary GPU.

    Attached is a bios made with time, effort, money, and love. This file is BUILD 285! ***Alienware M17xR3 BIOS Version A26CS Changelog:*** -Updated CPU Microcode to latest available in 2026 -Updated Intel RST (RAID) OPROM to 12.9 which supports TRIM in RAID0 for SSDs -Updated Intel iGPU vBIOS to v2171 -Fixed PEG mode allowing Maxwell 2 (980M, 970M, M3000M, M4000M, M5000M) and Pascal (P5000, etc) to work (Turing is still not working in PEG eDP) -Fixed SG mode for Maxwell 2. Pascal and Turing work as well. Need amphere and ada testers! -Added BIOS overclocking support! You can overclock a 2920XM/2960XM in bios! Untested on QM but you can test for me. -Some other changes I might have forgotten. I am still trying to port 16GB memory support, UEFI support, and potential Above 4G DECODE Download Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16WRgMK4qCosFdiPED0PBV3QhXl36-tLY/view?usp=sharing Feel free to buy me a coffee or 12 pack of beer: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XBHCLPNYCMDP2 I still have more plans to update these BIOS' but wanted to get some feedback at least since I don't have a inf amount of cards.

    Following my M17xR3 bios, I have decided to release this one early. Attached is a bios made with time, effort, money, and love. This file is BUILD 285 (from M17xR3) ported to M18x! ***Alienware M18xR1 BIOS Version A26CS Changelog:*** -Updated CPU Microcode to latest available in 2026 -Updated Intel RST (RAID) OPROM to 13.5 which supports TRIM in RAID0 for SSDs -Updated Intel iGPU vBIOS to v2171 -Fixed PEG mode allowing Maxwell 2 (980M, 970M, M3000M, M4000M, M5000M) and Pascal (P5000, etc) to work (Turing is still not working in PEG eDP) [NOTE: Pascal doesn't work on LVDS display so for now, this is only true for M17xR3. Pascal DOES work in SG.] -Fixed SG mode for Maxwell 2. Pascal and Turing work as well. Need amphere and ada testers! -Some other changes I might have forgotten.

    Try this M2000M vbios: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18D_VxdfP5vFDvV3QWdOqQ7v5JwK4SxtM/view?usp=sharing Also I made a post for M18xR1 bios and M17xR3 bios
  6. ssj92
    Not the physical cable length but the actual tabs that connect over the mxm pins?
  7. ssj92
    It needs to be made longer (the part that goes over the pins) for Alienware systems
  8. ssj92
    check using 425.31 driver or older if setup stereoscopic is in nvidia control panel. if it is, then the dump will work
  9. ssj92
    If you have a 3d capable aw17 r1 running 780m, 880m or any 3d oem gpu, please help me with your acpi dump: https://github.com/acpica/acpica/releases/download/20260408/iasl-win-20260408.zip download this zip, extract, run: acpidump.exe -b then zip the folder and upload. Thanks

    I sent you dual peg and tesla p6 regedit on whatsapp group chat
  11. ssj92
    both gp106 same behavior. clock is 1290mhz, memory is 4006mhz tesla p6 allows adjusting slider but clocks stuck at 455mhz core & 405mhz memory
  12. ssj92
    Yes M2000M or even M1000M. With my bios you can use any GPU that supports LVDS in slot 1. So any OEM gpu or AMD 7970m, 8970m, M3000M-M5000M works too. Whatever is cheapest. Then for slot 2 you can use the fastest GPU you can afford. P5000 is almost as fast as 980M SLI but without the SLI suppport needed. P4000 is also quite fast.
  13. ssj92
    11,500 in eDP? I was getting 11,051 in SG, So 4% less performance. I agree eDP is preferred but not every laptop supports eDP. m18x series is perfect example. But at the same time SG generally has better compatibility for upgrades too. On M17xR3 I can't use RTX 4000 (HP) on eDP but it works SG. Keeping in mind P5000 and all older GPUs work fine.

    tesla p6 rom doesn't work. anyway we can increase tdp to 120w and increase clocks on this one? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Oy3rtNQWqr8kEZyxk-mQsZxCrh2kzpki/view?usp=sharing

    for that specific card you should be able to use factory heatsink
  16. ssj92
    Hey! Thanks for trying! I don't see the dump files. Open command prompt as admin, cd the directory where the tool is, then type acpidump.exe -b see pic below. if done correctly, you should see a bunch of extra files in the folder
  17. ssj92
    P3000, P4000, P5000 all work with the correct vbios RTX 3000/5000 (Adlink/Aetina/PNY) are heatsink friendly. the HP models required a custom heatsink and removing the two stubs on each side of the mxm port. You can use 980M/970M/M3000M, M4000M, M5000M in PEG on M18xR1 with my bios
  18. ssj92
    Right now SG is having issues with maxwell 2 cards (GM204). Literally every other card works. You will need to make sure you have a spi programmer because it's possible to brick the laptop. there is a crisis recovery method as well
  19. ssj92
    I always wanted to try it. I think P/N are different for R3 & R4
  20. ssj92
    https://github.com/acpica/acpica/releases/download/20260408/iasl-win-20260408.zip download this zip, extract, run: acpidump.exe -b then zip the folder and upload. Use SG & do once in PEG if you can. I'm trying to fix SG mode on R3 and it might help me. Thanks
  21. ssj92
    No, it's weird. Pascal works (with the "engineering vbios"), turing works, literally everything works except maxwell 2(gm204). My bios mod allows 980M to work in PEG. If some of you guys have maxwell 2 cards I can provide a test bios to see if it fixes PEG on 980M.
  22. ssj92
    no I haven't tried that one yet
  23. ssj92
    In gpu bound situations, the 3080 performs well. look at the gpu score and compare to native 3080 laptops. Honestly, I regret not buying 4090 MXM when it was only $950. now it's $1300 keep in mind it's a 115w card. I'm going to sell the v1 backlight mod cables on ebay that I bought since I cannot use them in my AW. Apparently they work fine in Clevo/MSI.
  24. ssj92
    it's not even 10-15%. I'm running 3080 in my M18xR2 and it runs fine. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (notebook) video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3920XM Processor Extreme Edition,Alienware M18xR2 2133mhz ram helps and 4.4ghz on cpu will help too
  25. ssj92
    why not recommended?
