Recommended Posts

you know , just thought about the 3080 MXM and i am angry right now because for a moment i wanted to suggest the area-51m but then i remember that dell doesnt use MXM on it ... the i remembered that this laptop was suppose to be the most upgradeable laptop in dell history .... then i compared it to the M18x R1, M18x R2 and the old 18 ....(which is proven to be easily upgradable) and now I AM PISSED from dell to do this to us in the area51m claims ...............

 

sorry for 2 posts...

A- lets advertise a product that has upgradability  

B- that is not in our benefits because if it is upgradable then we will not sell the next generation laptops and it works against our interest. 

A- it doesn't matter , lets just say that 

B- but then we will be Sued!  

A- it is ok no problem ,let them win the case and the penalty will be a fraction of our profit for the fake advertisement.!!

Cool. Your GPUz screenshot indicates the card as a 6GB but on Xvision they only sell 12GB 3060s. Or don't they?

There is 2 different RTX 3060's on www.x-vsion.com but both have 12GB

Yes I have a programmer, I was thinking of that, I have flashed a few cards and some multiple times, but the last card I flashed was the RTX 4000 maxQ and now it is dead. Nvidia put a block on flashing since RTX but the nvflashk works around the block. IDK about AMD. If the card doesn't work in the M6700 then I would try to flash it.

If you need a new bios chip I can get one for ya and resolder it might not be dead dead.

 

 On another note. @ssj92 notified me on this topic. I am skeptical because him and I both have tried A4500 and the xvis 3080 I have the later and I couldn't get it to post. On that note it did get voltage and was warm to touch about it. So I'm not sure about this just yet.

Thank you! Was hoping that maybe there is a way at least to flash vbios and enable direct output to display

My old GTX 1070 have better specs, than that RTX 3060 in TechPowerUp

Any updates on the RTX 3080?

Alternative: Peladn RTX 3080M ?

Edit: What about the MXM Type A RTX 4060, would that work for us or RTX 5000M Ada?

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?
