First Ada Lovelace MXM cards

[cdoublejj]

seeing this i think i'm annoyed that Frame Work went with a semi clone of dells proprietary GPU, despite what Linus might have said.

 

 

edit: no whiff of intel ARC MXM or AMD MXM? when was the last AMD MXM? Surely a 460 MXM would be leagues better than 980MXM or 1070MXM?

Intel mxm cards exist however the pricing and almost non existent availability just kills it for the few that would have any interest.

is mostly scuttle but about hand fulls of testing and pre production cards or are there pictures of ARC MXM?

X-VSION MXM Embedded Module RTX 4060 GPU Powerful Visual - X-VSION GRAPHICS CARD

Just realized X-VSION now have an MXM type-A RTX 4060 8GB (110w) for $360 🤔 does anyone know anything about the reliability of X-VSION cards?

 

Edit: Now seen in this thread that @aldarxt has one on order. Very interested to see updates on this!

I posted here it did not work in 2 m17xr4"s. Also tried @ssj92 advice to use it in 2nd GPU slot in m18xr2 in SG mode but there is a problem in the 2nd slot and nothing works when a card is installed, just get a bad screen and alot of flickering, my m18xr2 is getting very old.

Not sure how I missed this but good to see it actually arrived! I know it hasn't been long but did you get around to testing the card in your P870DM3-G or M4700? Could be worthwhile to test those before reflashing the VBIOS. Either that or a cheap MXM to PCI-E adapter

 

I noticed the chip is stated as having a size of 128 bytes on the left panel, isn't this far too small for a 4050 VBIOS? From what I can see, typical 4050/4060 VBIOSes are 2000KB in size. Could the chip's information be incorrectly autodetected, resulting in the buffer size error?

 

This could also be a good opportunity to see if X-VISN have any after-sales support or troubleshooting steps? You could let them know that other people will likely be interested if compatibility can be sorted out - I'm very interested in the 4060 for my Precision 7520 personally 😈

I'm curious as well; I've been eyeing that 4060 for my Precision 7520 too, and hoping the X-VSION card plays well with eDP

Getting so tempting, especially after seeing an X-VSION 3060 was reported successfully booting in @therhor70's M18X R2.

Hopefully there would be a way of limiting the clocks though, 110w through the 7520 heatsink sounds legitimately dangerous 🤣

Had always planned on improving the fans so if I order the GPU, I'll measure them and see if any of the various improved fan blades/motors on Xianyu for the Hasee TX8/TX9 laptops would fit

Didn't see the 110W at first 🤣.  I wonder if the embedded controller sets a limit on power draw?  HW info says my 1650 consumes 35W - I'm not sure whether to believe that.  The M2200 was reputed to have a 55W TDP, which seems like the maximum that the Precision 7520's thermal solution can handle.  An RTX 4060 at 50W performs at ~75% of max performance - if voltage controls are enabled, I could see getting another 5-10% above that.

It's usually a shunt resistor and monitor with an inbuilt limit on the readings on the BIOS. A hardware shunt mod would be a way around this usually.
