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.

Price: $2,550 Shipped Condition: Used (Excellent) Warranty: None [Can be extended through Alienware] Reason for sale: Buying new one with 5090 Payment: Paypal, Venmo, Apple Cash, Local Cash Item location: Martinez, CA Shipping: US48 Included International shipping: No Handling time: Ships within 1-3 days Feedback: https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/ssj92?filter=feedback_page:All Specification: This is the laptop that set records during its release in 2023. 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?

I tried rx580 as well, same problem. S7100x is probably like Tesla, no video outs. I made the vbios myself, I'll upload it later once I finished testing Now I'm curious about 6600 xt mxm....lol

Do you have a pic or link to the shunt mod? I'd love 450w per gpu. Right now SLI is not working because the motherboard doesn't have SLI certificate. I tried doing dsdt editing to inject some but didn't work yet. I do have one other method left to try which may work so hoping to get SLI up and running soon. The 20 series are last to support true SLI unlike 30 series so they should work in all games that support SLI

I think the reason I never got one is because I only wanted an FE card lol. The bending was more annoying than i expected. I used basically all corsair parts. But it still looks clear, and is much more pleasing to look at than soft tubing. I have 2x480mm Corsair radiators (I think HWLabs is the OEM). One pump, and a bunch of 14mm tubing. All Noctua fans so it's quiet.

Damn @jaybee83 got a 5090. Anyone else get one yet? Here I am playing with my peasanty GPU setup 😂

Just wanted to let y'all know, I am using Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC IoT (2021) on a few systems now since Win 10 Pro loses support in October. Aside from being an older build (21H2 I think) it works fairly well. Performance has been good for me. I may try 2024 version which is basically Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC IoT (2024) but I'm liking the performance of 2021 so far. Supported until 2032 as well.

Not sure if I am missing anything but a 4930MX or 4940MX will provide much better performance when overclocked. You can hit 4Ghz all day without any additional voltage. 4.3Ghz should be easy to obtain and cool. I guess the biggest advantage is the Iris iGPU but if you're losing one memory channel it;s already not worth it to me. If you provide me the microcode I can try updating the BIOS for you but be sure you have a programmer and backup your original BIOS.

You can buy 4090 MXM for just a tiny bit more and it will be much faster. It's 150w model 3080 at $570 is the best deal and is proven to work in M18xR2, AW 18, M17xR4

As far as we know, up until now, 880M was the fastest card for M17xR3 due to UEFI BIOS issues. I got a WX4150 flashed to RX 560 and it worked with the 120hz eDP display, so I decided to gamble and bought the AMD Radeon PRO WX 7100 (mobile) MXM card. Well....it worked! It was a Dell card and worked right away. Everything works EXCEPT fan control! You have to use HWINFO to control fans. The stock vBIOS barely hit 10K firestrike GPU score. I modified the vBIOS to OC RAM and increase power limit. Now it gets 13k! I can probably push it more but will try that later, wanted to share the news. This GPU supports DX12 and the 120hz eDP panel so it is the perfect upgrade. The cost isn't too bad either on Aliexpress (eBay is a bit more). IDT sound works too, but for me even 880M worked fine with IDT audio. I tested the GPU in Win7 and Win10 and it works in both.

Ask them for barebones (without CPU & GPU heatsinks only)

Install the unlocked bios. Go to bios and change the video to SG if it isn’t already. In Optimus mode the 1070 should work
