Naberius Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hi, all My m15x has a new career as a (jenkins agent) build box and (min spec) testing rig. That said, I'd like to re-GPU it because the ancient firepro isn't bringing much to the table. I have a (unmolested) 970m on hand but I seem to recall the m15x not being great at powering it (like, back to pinmod and messing with toggling stealth mode territory). At one point I had a 970m with an undervolted vbios in there (maybe SL7s work?) but it was still a "mess with it every time you're about to do something graphically intensive", which I'd like to avoid for this. Were there other, less flaky/troublesome, options? I noticed m3000ms on ebay for... not much. Anyone mess with those?

ssj92 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I'd run the 970M. I am currently running a 980M and while I can't use it to its full potential, it runs faster than anything else I can throw in here. 970M should work better since it uses less power. You can try undervolting it 1 Alienware m18 : Intel Core i9 13900HX @ 5.0Ghz | nVidia GeForce RTX 4090 | K1675 | 2x1TB SSDs Alienware Area-51M : Intel Core i9-9900K @ 5.3Ghz | nVidia GeForce RTX 2080 | AX210 | Samsung 970 Evo+ Alienware M18x R2 : Intel Core i7 3920XM @ 4.7Ghz | nVidia Quadro RTX 3000 | AX210 | Samsung 980 PRO Alienware 18 : Intel Core i7 4930MX @ 4.5Ghz | nVidia Quadro RTX 5000 | AX210 | Samsung 980 NVMe More Laps: M14x (555m) | M14xR2 (650m) | M15x (980m) | M17xR3 (880m) | M18xR1 (RTX 5000) DT: Aurora R4 (i9 10980XE/RTX 4070) | Area-51 R2 (22-Core Xeon/Titan V) | SR-2 [2x6-Core/3x980Ti] | CS Studios YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CSStudiosYT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
