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.

The device cannot be detected using the official website's driver, so installation is not possible It should be that INF does not correspond to the device, Alienware M17x,18x.. has been a product for a long time, and the original factory did not add an ID to the device for the new graphics card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna try RTX A3000 12GB MXM soon on my Alienware 18 R1, seller said it works on M18X R2. So it should theoretically work on AW 18. The TDP is 110W. Seller also told me that the 4050/4060 won't work because of motherboard's BIOS. It could either be ReBar and the interface you've mentioned. Also does the RTX 3080 from X-VSION work with M18X R2?
