Dell M6700 gtx pascal card

[johnyespapa]

Good days Everyone! I have a question about upgrading my laptop gpu. i have seen the other topics here that the p106m works on m6600. the question is the p106m and ang gtx 1060 have the same architecture does it work on m6700 if im gonna upgrade it?

Pascal GPUs won't boot on the M6700 unless they have a specific "engineering sample" vBIOS. We only have appropriate vBIOS for Quadro P3000, P4000, and P5000. (None for GeForce cards.) The behavior otherwise is that the laptop will just hang at the Dell logo boot screen and will not proceed to OS boot. (It's even worse than in the M6800 — in that system you'll just get an ACPI BSOD if you try to boot Windows, but booting Linux is possible.)

 

Because you can't even boot to Linux to flash the vBIOS in the M6700, you'd have to flash the vBIOS in another system or use a hardware flasher to get one of the Quadro Pascal GPUs to work in the M6700.

i do have a hardware bios programmer. i did search about the engineering sample bios as they state that the p4000 needs engineering sample bios. i did search also the engineering sample bios for the gtx pascal card but no available yet in any forum.
