HP Zbook 17" G3 - Gpu Upgrade - from M5000M to P5200. Can it handle?


Recommended Posts

I have a HP Zbook 17" G3 with a Nvidia Quadro M5000M. I got a free NVIDIA Quadro P5200 from our IT department in the office. I always hunt for free GPUs, SSDs :D They are both MXM-B 3.0 bus interface Gpus. However M5000M is 100 W whereas P5200 is 150W.

 

If the P5200 has a bios chip can we make this work? 

What if the P5200 does not have a bios chip, can I solder one on and flash it ? 

 

 I love reviving old laptop instead of buying new ones if you can help me it would be much appreciated.

Can you send a photo of the video card? Do you have a P5200 from HP, perhaps? Then it is not 150 watts (the MSI version has such a TDP), but 110 or 100 watts. The HP version is cut in frequencies and TDP. Moreover, you can always increase or decrease this value via Mobile Pascal TDP Tweaker.

if it doesn't have a bios chip, to make it work - you'll need to contact a specialist or solder a bios chip yourself if it's not on the video card and flash vbios to it using a programmer. I can help by telling you which chip will work and sending you a suitable vbios image.

I realized not all P5200 are the same. I read this article. I have a DGFF Dell p5200 instead of MXM. My plan is to start with P5000 as I am beginner to gpu upgrade. That one sounds like could be plug n play. Then I will pursue P5200. I want to learn solder chip and flash with P5200.
