Rx 6600 xt Alienware 18

[zerokool]

Hello there I have a question regarding newer amd GPUs and our viking and ranger series Alienware s. 

Is it possible to use an Rx 6600 or 6600xt with these laptops . Both do ship with ame gpus such as the 7970m and even crossfire . So could we use newer amd cards as well ?

Here is an example of an attempt to install a 6600xt in an m17x r4.

Seems with the ivy bridge based units it's a matter of modding the inf . Guess the same would be fur the haswell based 18 r1 viking. Might be better just to get the 3060 then since it's the same price

you will still have problems with fan control, at the least

In my mind, this is the less problematic option

We can use speedfan . At least with the haswell based models like the ranger ( 17r1) and viking (18 r1)
