    M18xR1 with RTX 5000: M18xR2 with RTX 5000:

    Hi, question. Did you do basic INF mod or was there special driver mod needed? Can I download any driver from nvidia site and modify INF to make it work?

    My A4500 heatsink will probably work for M18x series but it seems these cards aren't recognized at all in those laptops.
  4. ssj92
    Take a picture of the vBIOS chip up close and see what chip it is. Your program shows generic 1 kbit which is incorrect. I personally use ASProgramer

    GP106 Compute card RTX 3000 (Aetina/AdLink) RTX 5000 (HP) Can all work with SG mode but limited to DX11 and older titles. I have RTX 5000 working in M18xR1
  6. ssj92
    They're all backwards compatible. The real question will be if the RTX 4050 is wired for eDP and has proper firmware for it too. LVDS should work if the card doesn't have a weird issue like my A4500 did. Where it may need resizable bar/above 4g decoding
  7. ssj92
    If that 4050 is anything like A4500 was, then you are going to have a hard time getting it recognized. I recommend SG mode in M17xR4. And if that doesn't work, try my M18xR1 trick. Use M18xR2, primary slot a gpu that works in PEG and then gpu2 will be RTX 4050. Good luck

    This is a universal issue right now for M17xR3 & M18xR1 when using SG (Optimus mode). RTX 3000 & RTX 5000 both have this issue for me too when I use SG mode. Basically the card can only render DX11 and older. DX12 and newer doesn't work for some reason (which is weird because newer laptops with HD4000/4600 work fine). It's some weird issue with HD 3000. The other issue is...any driver after 425 when using SG mode will not allow the GPU to render. It defaults to iGPU. By using 425.XX or older drivers, the dGPU works as render card. My solution in M18xR1 was to use a nVidia GPU in primary slot (such as 680M, 780M, 880M, or M1000M/M2000M) and then the beast in slot 2 (RTX 5000). Using this method I can use everything even ray tracing. But on M17xR3 this is not possible, so we need to figure out the driver issue. https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/115357776? https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/115355471?

    Wow I didn't even realize you had registered here. Nice to see you around. 😁

    I have a M2000M on the way to solve the old driver issue. Going to replace 880M primary with M2000M primary so I can use the latest Quadro drivers. only thing left to fix is the heatsink. It doesn’t fit into the slot in the secondary MXM area. Needs to be bent or something. Also hits subwoofer a bit.

    i wonder if that would fix the 55w issue I am having
  14. ssj92
    I can use 880M, RTX 3000 so it's weird how yours doesn't work. So far these GPUs we know boot in SG mode and work somewhat: RTX 3000 GP106 (no outputs) Tesla M6 (no outputs) Has to be vBIOS issue. I just wonder how we will get it to work fully though. In SG mode only DX11 and older works. In PEG, with 880M in primary and RTX 3000 in secondary, everything works even DX12, but for some reason it's stuck at 55w. I wonder if I can do resistor mod to M18xR1 same as I did to AW 18 R1. I didn't see the R006 resistor though easily on M18xR1 motherboard.

    I built a new PC for myself and am giving my brother my old X299 desktop. He will have everything needed except for a GPU. If anyone has any decent spare GPUs they would be willing to let go and sell cheap let me know. Old SLI GPUs are fine too. Was thinking like.... GTX Titan X (Maxwell, Pascal, XP) GTX 1080ti, 1080, 1070 GTX 980Ti/980 [Probably want 2 in SLI?] GTX 780Ti/780/690 (maybe SLI for these) GTX 580 x2-3 GTX 480 x3-x4 Would prefer at least kepler if not maxwell, but if I can get a bunch of fermi cards I can use those for benching myself and give him a GPU from my other PC. Whoops @Reciever I posted in wrong section..should be in WTB

    I ran 419.67 driver and GPU is now being utilized. But I am getting VRel & VOp limitations in GPU-Z. Performance is bad: Generic VGA video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2960XM Processor,Alienware M18xR1 (3dmark.com) @TheSin I tried 980M but it gets stuck at AW logo. It is G-SYNC Clevo model so it seems it may be vBIOS related.

    This is the BIOS I am running: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15hcq2MfaAzIDGlualq35v-MBnji9MXB4/view Something was changed in newer drivers, that do not play well with HD 3000 GPU it seems. We need to see what changed.

    Did you try the registry edit I posted above? For 6990M plus 980M combo? I'll try 980M with older 426.XX driver and see what happens. Your 780M should boot fine in SG mode so it seems you have weird issue. You can try registry mod for 6990M + 980M combo and then in windows settings choose 980M for high performance. I had same issue with 880M + RTX 3000 before I did registry mod. And also try 426.XX driver or older and see if that helps too. Seems like the 880M + RTX 3000 combo will be best for me at this rate, if I can fix the 55w tdp bug.

    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?
