    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
  6. ssj92
    Nope it’s definitely a driver issue somewhere
  7. ssj92
    On AW 419.67 is the last driver that lets me use RTX 3000 and Intel hd 3000. But DX12 doesn’t work only DX11. on M6600 389.xx driver works but same issue , no dx12 support

    I’m getting power limited with 880M now too. So it only Worked once. Need to figure out what was different
  9. ssj92
    It’s sandy bridge laptop. Only works with the vBIOS I uploaded. Already tried everything else. If you cannot mod this one it’s fine I’ll run it stock.

    I modified the TDP using pascal mobile TDP tweaker but the generated vbios causes code 43. now it’s in my M6600 and I don’t plan to remove it. only m17x r2 with dual GPUs and m17x r3 with single GPU left to test stuff with.
  11. ssj92
    Didn’t try it, vBios mod causes code 43 error need premade one but I’m certain TDP increase should help
  12. ssj92
    Nope, if there were I probably would have bought one for the collection. you can try contacting Eurocom to see if they have any old stock
  13. ssj92
    Good luck, I’m still waiting on a couple GPUs myself
  14. ssj92
    Try driver 389.XX it’s from Dell 7710 I think on Dell website. Modify INF and it should work

    Are you able to apply these clocks/TDP to my specific factory vBIOS for P4000? My laptop only boots with this specific vBIOS... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ubOX_qahZZU46uMrXccDeUl_AvMl0LAi/view?usp=sharing

    @Nowan @Parallax5290 Got P4000 working in M6600 NVIDIA Quadro P4000 (Notebook) video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2960XM Processor,Dell Inc. 04YY4M

    Sold mine several years ago

    Tesla P6 doesn't have any video output support. So it's a SG (Optimus) only option or using dual MXM slots in slot2. It requires extra registry mods but I got it working. After some more testing I'll post the reg mod needed specific to Tesla cards. Performance is low because AW18 has the pwr limit bug same as rtx 3000/5000. GPU is 90W limited and cannot be modded by driver or vBIOS at all.

    As I mentioned in my M17xR2 thread, when using nVidia GPU in primary and secondary slot (different cards), there seems to be some weird issue where both GPU TDPs are being combined for some reason. In my example, it was RTX 3000. It is a 80W TDP card but is it being limited to 55w. Using MSI Afterburner, I can see the primary M2000M is using 20-25W during the benchmarks. If you add 25+55w, you get the 80w TDP. This of course is just a theory, but considering my M17xR2, M18xR1, and your X7200 are doing the exact same thing, it tells me this isn't a hardware issue itself. PSU is NOT the issue. I can run 2x880M SLI @ 113w each in M18xR1. I also have 780w Eurocom PSU. The fact that I cannot exceed 55w on GPU2 and GPU1 is using up to 25W tells me the driver is combining their TDPs. Now for Pascal and older GPUs, what you can do is just increase the TDP of the card. If a P5200 has a 110w TDP just increase to 130w and see if performance improves.

    Doesn't matter 3920XM or 3940XM, whichever is better price. Silicon lottery will make larger difference than CPU model. They OC almost the same, more important is if you get a good clocking cpu or not. All of them can hit 4.4Ghz, 4.5Ghz+ will depend on your cpu and how much voltage it needs. I run 4.1Ghz without any additional voltage. Performs just fine for everything. If something really is CPU bottlenecked then I clock to 4.5Ghz with extra voltage.
  21. ssj92
    No guarantees it will work. It might work but 1200 is more than 2x the price xvsion sells their 3080 for.
  22. ssj92
    Aside from there being some weird "universal tdp" limit (example: RTX 3000 is 80w TDP. The card is only using 55w TDP while M3000M in primary is using 20-25w TDP.) This means there's some driver issue where both cards TDP is being calculated together. If I can fix that issue, the card can run at full power. Same issue affects M18xR1 with M2000M + RTX 5000. One way to get past this (just a theory for now) on Pascal would be to increase TDP by 25-30w on the card. I may test this with P4000. Anyways the secret is simple, SLI laptops have 2 MXM slots. Primary is used for any GPU that can run in M17xR2. (NO AMD cards, this causes no boot). Then secondary card is any card we can fit. In My case Adlink RTX 3000. UPDATE: Here's a non throttling result: https://www.3dmark.com/fs/33274452 And here's the old throttled results: M3000M seems to cause inverted colors issue same as 980M. I thought @Komputers-Best mentioned M4000M worked fine but my M3000M causes messed up colors with HP and Dell vBIOS. Going to try a M2000M next.
  23. ssj92
    Looks same as mine just black PCB. All I need is the vBIOs. at that price I might as well pay a few hundred more and get RTX 4090 MXM
  24. ssj92
    The RTX 5000 runs at full 90W in SG (Optimus) more perfectly fine in the same laptop. Problem is when using dual cards. Haven't tried AMD card, I don't have any modern ones. Laptop can power 2x 113W 880M SLI no issues so it's definitely some weird compatibility issue. I think with 880M I was getting full TDP. When switching to M2000M it is running lower. PSU is not an issue. I have 780W Eurocom PSU and this laptop can use more than 330w unlike the newer ones which were hard capped.
  25. ssj92
    Use older driver such as 419.xx until you receive 38xx cpu and see if it works. for some reason only older drivers work with Optimus on Intel hd 3000 iGPU
