Naberius Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 All right so... I've been tinkering with my M17xR4 again and have been looking at after market GPUs. I had the opportunity to purchase a used p5000 in the US (which is what kicked things back off) and now I'm more than a little curious about the RTX cards being sold by PNY (which have ADLINK branding on them)-- They're not overly expensive all things considered and look like they'd match up to the m17x r4 heatsink without too much messing around. So, to that... Did anyone ever try the cards from PNY? Did anyone try an RTX3000 or RTX5000 in an M17xR4 in peg/dedicated mode? Good? Bad? Did anyone ever successfully manage to get around PNY's shipping restrictions with third parties? And if so... was the cost prohibitive?

TruenoG7 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I understand that the PNY cards are better, since they fall into the same MXM 3.0 format, a user purchased an RTX 3000 for his M18x R2 and did great with it.

I think it was : @ssj92 I aloso got a PNY RTX3000 thinking that my HP RTX 3000 failed for my M18xR2. Yes it was a direct fit, no mods, and the heatsink from my AMD 100Watt Gpu keeps the temperatures quite low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RE PNY: shame... they seem to no longer be for sale. @ssj92@Jerryzago if you ever notice them go back up, please ping me; I'd be down to guinea-pig my R4 on an RTX5000 (if they're going for spooky $350 PNY prices, anyway).

RTX 5000 was going for 250 euros from PNY. They put the listing hours after I bought my 3000. I wish I have bought that instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I have bought that instead! Oof yeah - same feeling. I was trying to work out how to use Shippn to get a card to Canada. By the time I'd cleared some time and worked it out... the listings ended! Last week, I reached out to PNY's store (with my god-awful Canadian french... you know... for the lulz). They said (essentially, but like, in what i assume is way better french) "we don't know what we're going to be listing week to week so... stay tuned!" Pretty much nothing to go on but I'll keep a browser tab open to see if anything happens.

Jerryzago Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I contacted them in English. They also responded in English. I try to find someone I know in France, but he didn't want to help me. So I used shippn. Cost was the same as the GPU itself, but it arrived in two days. I don't get it why they excluded even other EU countries from their listing. I believe they run out of inventory.

sliderfra Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I also ordered 2 RTX3k before stock ran off... Feedback from french forum about the RTX 5k: it's definitely NOT standard MXM. Needs heavy work as it's longer than standard MXM and the mounting holes are 5mm offset... So honestly I'm glad I did not order one of these. But 100€ for RTX3k was definitely a bargain 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
