    Disabling hd 3000 makes RTX 3000 work in GPU-z render test. However , the performance is very bad. In superposition I was getting like 6-7fps on 1080p medium. I tried old driver and same issue. So you got 980M working in SG mode? that guy on eBay has native r1 mb. I talked to him. He said only dx11 works with gp106 and tesla m6. Dx12 isn’t working. But his GPUs do render fine. he said he uses an older driver. 426 is the last one that supported hd 3000 he said so maybe I’ll try an older GPU.

    If you have M18xR2 MB, you should be able to run everything even rtx 3000 in SG mode no problem. Did you flash M18xR1 bios onto M18xR2 MB? Maybe that's why you are having weird issues. We are using M18xR1 with original MB. I'm running SG mode. The card is recognized in bios and in windows and driver installs. However, I am unable to use the rtx 3000 for any rendering so far. Not sure why. I believe 980M will work like this too, maybe I'll give that a try. I did not turn on UEFI boot, it's still off. All I did was turn on SG mode with 880M, then swap it out for rtx 3000. Is it possible for the laptop to work properly like this if everything is recognized in windows? Or do I need to do some sort of hardware mod as well? I guess the fact that the guy on eBay has M17xR3 & M18xR1 running SG mode with GP106 & Tesla M6 tells me there is some hope. Just need to figure out why I am getting DirectX errors on 3dmark and super position. In super position, it keeps trying to use the intel hd 3000. I believe this may be happening for everything. Explains the dx11 error since hd 3000 is dx10.1 but no idea how to get around this. I tried PEG with rtx 3000 now I just have black screen, no beeps, no post, so will try SG again.

    @TheSin this guy is running nVidia Optimus mode with Tesla M6 which is basically 980M: Alienware M18X R1 laptop I7-2760qm 2.4-3.5Ghz 16GB 512GB SSD NVIDIA Tesla M6 8GB | eBay If he can run in optimus mode without any hardware mods we should be able to as well. I might try RTX 3000 in SG mode in primary slot to see what happens. Same guy is running GP106 in M17xR3 (same gen as M18xR1) in Optimus mode as well: Alienware M17X R3 laptop I7-2760qm 2.4-3.5Ghz 16GB 512GB SSD NVIDIA GP106 | eBay EDIT: I decided to put RTX 3000 in primary slot and run SG mode. Drivers install fine and no errors in device manager. However, nothing is using RTX 3000 as render device. Even after changing the windows setting to high performance "rtx 3000" gpu

    NBR wasn't just about "MXM + LGA" laptops but a wide variety of notebook hardware. It consisted of a wide variety of people and opinions that are not accepted in many other forums (I tried asking laptop questions many of forums and the responses generated were surprising.) While MXM+LGA is officially dead, the people who roamed NBR, also roam here. I just got a RTX 3000 working in a 2011 M18xR1 Alienware. There is literally no other forum I could have gone to report this. So I'm curious on what exactly the vision is for the future of NBT. While a lot declined new laptops, as a laptop enthusiast, that hasn't stopped me from tweaking my BGA laptop to get close to desktop cpu performance. I'm assuming there will be some restructuring regarding the forums in topics?

    I'm running the stock bios from April. There is a new bios with microcode update but I think I'll wait until updating.

    I picked up a new 14900K from best buy....could have gotten a 12900KS for $231.99 from amazon on prime day but just didn't feel like it would be much of an upgrade over 10980XE. I can already feel tasks launching faster than 10980XE. Haven't had any issues yet *knocks on wood* but will need to move over lots of data before I can start playing with it. I will say the Z790 PCIe lanes is a bit disappointed. 16x for GPU and 4x for NVMe. The rest come from chipset. Really is a shame intel got rid of true HEDT (44 lanes all from CPU was nice for PCIe upgrades) My "BGA" alienware with 13900HX gets 37K in CB R23, what should a bone stock 14900K get in CB R23? 40K?

    So enabling the UEFI bios option still allows laptop to POST? maybe I'll play with that. if I can figure out why the newer GPUs cannot reach full TDP then this could be a good workaround for people who want more performance from their M18xR1. Power wise I think M18xR1 is same as M18xR2 (better than AW18) but the BIOS has lots of work needed

    EC is still updated using BIOS update though, so we would need to figure out how to edit EC portion of bios and add details of the newer cards.

    It's 55W in all applications I am testing. GPU-Z limit reason is PWR. The clock is very high but the power is too low. It's performance is still decent and allows the old M18xR1 to use ray tracing, dlss, hvec acceleration, etc. But if I can figure out the issue, then this whole thing would be 90% successful in using newer card in such an old system. Did you have any power issue with your gp106 card? Regarding error code 12. Does your M18xR1 have the UEFI option under boot? I am running a newer modded bios made by an old forum member, it has a UEFI option, but I never enabled it because not sure if it breaks the bios. There's also ACPI version option, default is 3.0, but there's option for 4.0. Also try disabling as many PCI/PCIe devices as possible in bios such as high definition audio, card reader, etc and see if it helps with code 12.

    I think it's an issue with the way newer cards report power. I think Kepler and older cards report power differently compared to newer cards. The BIOS on these laptops may not like the newer cards. I'm sure a BIOS mod would fix it, but I don't know anyone who would know/want to work on the BIOS. The resistor mod is supposed to help by making the laptop think it's giving 1/2 the original power. (So 100w gets reported as 50w etc), but this seems to be hit and miss. Some people claim it's working, but a lot of us still cannot get it working. Not sure if vBIOS could also be an issue.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2960XM Processor,Alienware M18xR1 (3dmark.com) Generic VGA video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2960XM Processor,Alienware M18xR1 (3dmark.com) Okay I got it working...using this info: Resolved with registry edits (Windows 10 Pro 22H2): https://imgur.com/a/09sNRdA HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DirectX\UserGpuPreferences, create a new string value which name is “DirectXUserGlobalSettings”, and set its value to “HighPerfAdapter=xxx” where XXX stands for hardware ID’s VEN&DEV&SUBSYS of your graphics card, which can be found in device manager. In the case of my 7800 XT "HighPerfAdapter=1002&747E&78011EAE" while device manager displays "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_747E&SUBSYS_78011EAE&REV_C8" I had also made the following changes, which I am not sure are or are not required: 1.Navigate Regedit to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} 2. Identify the four digit subfolders that contain your desired GPUs (e.g. by the key DriverDesc inside) 3. Create a new DWORD key inside both four digit folders, name it EnableMsHybrid Set it to a value of 1 for the performance GPU, set it to a value of 2 for the power save GPU 4. Reboot. From: NOW the problem is....my RTX 3000 is only running at 55w instead of the full 80w. It shows 99% utilization the whole time. CPU utilization isn't too high so it shouldn't be a cpu bottleneck. I think the card is hitting the 2nd highest power level instead of the highest.

    M18xR2 & M17xR4 can run these cards at full power. AW 17 r1 & AW 18 have a weird issue with them.
  14. ssj92
    The 40W problem seems to be a deeper issue because even my RTX 5000 with resistor mod still does it.

    Ah Titan Black, nice gpu. I recently upgraded a X99 board to a 22-Core Xeon just to test to see if it would work. I like the old HEDT platforms, which is why I held onto my X299 for so long. These new systems didn't really speak to me, but since I already received most of the parts needed, I am going to build a Z790 platform at this point. I remember the Xeon E5 1680 V2 worked in the Clevo P570WM and was overclockable. I really wanted to get my hands on the 28-Core Xeon W-3175X & EVGA SR-3 board but they're wildly expensive LOL

    Getting 980M working alone would allow 980M SLI which I know isn't the strongest but it still is decetly faster than 880M SLI. I got RTX 3000 working in 2nd slot with drivers but there's one issue. Every single app only uses 880M though. I originally tried seperate drivers (Geforce for 880M and Quadro for RTX 3000) but that caused error 31 for 880M and everything was super slow. Then I used 472.XX driver which supports both 880M & RTX 2060 (RTX 3000 Quadro is Geforce RTX 2060 equivalent). This driver shows both cards as working properly in device manager. However, everything uses 880M. Even in windows settings, both power saving & high performance gpu shows as 880M. Regarding switchable graphics mode..someone had told me, they changed the wiring on MB on M18xR1 to reflect M18xR2 schematics and they still could not get it working. It's either the way it's wired or some bios mod is needed. BTW @Tcoil you can re-use the sandy bridge 2XXX cpu in the M18xR2 MB. A few of us did that to save some $$ but being honest with you, it's better to just have a 3XXX cpu. On my M14xR2 I would get BSOD with 2XXX CPU but switching to 3XXX cpu fixed the problem.

    96GB Muskin Redline (2x48GB DDR5-5600) Didn't have too many choices on RAM/MB since they didn't cost me anything. 5600 is stock speed on 13900K and the extra RAM will help me since I run a VM and now will also run DVR software on this PC as well. I figured 13900K with its extra cores should keep me going for a long time. I use a 2.5GBPS PCIe card as well in my X299 system so Z790 having it standard opens up a pcie slot as well. There was also a 12900KS on amazon for $255 but as of this morning the deal is gone. I'm going to wait for prime day next week to see if any further price drops are made.

    Guys....no better place/people to ask than yourselves LOL So I got some DDR5 RAM and a MSI Z790-P coming in....didn't cost me anything so platform switch wise I am already ahead. I am going to give my brother my 10980XE beast and build a Z790 system. I have all new parts except CPU & SSD. I'm seeing all these issues with 13900K/14900K. In your opinion, if all I need to spend $$$ on is a CPU, is it still worth building a Z790 system? Or are they all just unstable at this point. The 800 series MB isn't coming until Dec 2024 most likely, so I could ride my 10980XE and sell the Z790-P MB but it won't fetch me much $$$. 12900K is around $245 new 13900K is around $440 new 14900K is around $550 new as of this post.

    Now you have my interest because I tried everything besides hardware mod to get 980M working in M18xR1. The closest I got was the 4GB model vBIOS boots to bios but keeps restarting (boot loop). I have 980M in M15x and spare RTX 3000 MXM as well. Currently I have 880M SLI, I wonder if I should try RTX 3000 in 2nd slot and see what happens then. I do know 980M is BIOS/vBIOS issue since it works fine in M15x. No one ever solved the issue completely. Even today I would be happy to get it fixed.

    Sorry I've been busy, let me make some suggestions here.. Windows 11 works fine BUT you must turn off gpu hardware scheduling or you will get BSODs (located in windows settings app). Instead of wasting time manually editing the INF, use nvcleaninstall to make the driver. It works perfectly and is easy to use. You can use the latest drivers no problem.
  21. ssj92
    Do you see AW logo and can boot to BIOS before it turns off?
  22. ssj92
    This error is normally due to CPU instability. If you are OC, try turning OC off. If you are NOT OC then try adding a tiny bit of voltage to the cpu offset and see if it helps
  23. ssj92
    Any updates on the RTX 3000? Do you have a pic of the area you are talking about that does not get covered by the heatsink? Curious to see what you made.
  24. ssj92
    I have 1.2GBPS Down/200MBPS Up plan... Wi-Fi 6E Laptop: Ethernet Desktop (2.5GBPS to switch):
  25. ssj92
    I kinda wish I was able to get one of these for collection purposes at this point but probably not worth the price if one pops up for sale. Really cool concept
