@SuperMGJust saw that XVSION has made an RTX 3050 6gb MXM a card. Wonder if it will work on my zbook 15 g2-atleast in hybrid mode?(I think the eDP is on C in the 15 g2). As I've heard, only up to turing cards would work. Will there at least be a modified vbios for a DP_C output?

 

Hi, yes the card will work in hybride mod, you'll loose a little bit of performance due to routing the display signal through the iGPU.

 

I used a 1060M that had HDMi on DP_D (laptop booted with black screen in discrete GPU mode, booted fine in hybride mode and 1060M was recognized and used for games)

 

Not sure the external display outputs will all work well, we'll have to look up the schematic of your model to make sure wich external display connections have a mux switch meaning the iGPU will run the external connections as well.

Say hello to the Blackwell mxm cards 😅

It would be great if they sold to individual customers too.

The heatsink mounting are so crappy... Why do they do this?

 

None of our heatsinks would be compatible, even by modifying the offset. It's so spacced out...

Has anyone done this for a X170, was debating grabbing a 4090 card but the heatsink comments have me out of depth on this.

Not yet. But yes the heatsink needs to be modified. RTX 4070, 4080, 4090 worked on the P775TM. For 4080/4090, ZRT/Enbik are prefered brands because of their VBIOS (DP/DP/HDMI/eDP, enabled eDP and not disabled eDP, otherwise blackscreen after drivers installation)

Thanks for the reply, i would have no idea how to modify the heatsink unfortunatley.

[SuperMG]

Hello. I still have some backlight eDP mod cable available. Available on ebay. Support would be helpful.

 

The mod won't work on Dell M6700 with Dreamcolor LVDS display. eDP to LVDS doesn't work because the GPU doesn't understand what screen type it is. I couldn't try on pure-eDP because I can't find the 3D cable

Hello everyone, I came across this amazing discussion thread and it rekindled my interest in upgrading my old gaming laptops. I own an old-school MSI GT780 running an i7-2860QM and a GTX 980M 8GB, an MSI GT60 with an i7-3920XM and GTX 1060, and finally another GT60 with an i7-4960MX and a Quadro RTX 3000. I was wondering if any of you have experimented with the newer MXM cards on MSI laptops?

I also have another question: I’m considering upgrading to an RTX 4060 or 4070 to replace my Quadro RTX 3000. Do you think it’s possible to install a Type A MXM card in place of a Type B one? Thanks everyone for your replies!

Yes mxm a can be installed, you need a full eDP screen for the best performance on your GT60. Heatsink modification is needed because the VRM and one inductor from the card are taller than anything else.

the 2000 seems like to fit in the m6800, just a bit of heatsink modding needed for the coils... stock around 15% higher performance then a P5200 but less then half power needed + all new goodies. maybe a shunt mod on this card would bring a big boost bcs chip(GB206) is the same like the desktop 5060(Ti) ones

Hello everyone.

 

- Dell Precision M6700 with eDP 120Hz display: RTX Ampère and Ada doesn't work. No sign of boot, no splashscreen. Even with the backlight mod cable.

 

- Dell Precision M6800 with eDP display: RTX Ampère and Ada are working. Displays on BIOS and on OS with drivers with the backlight mod cable.

 

Working outputs: eDP display, HDMI out (DP_C) and DP out (DP_A surprised)

 

Exemple: X-VSION RTX 4080 displays on Windows and drivers installed.

 

But I think I need to do some EDID manipulation because of the bad X-VSION VBIOS. No EDID manipulation needed for the X-VSION RTX 4070.

 

I'm waiting for a custom heatsink.

The heatpipes are already big enough for what is it maybe the plate should be full copper with some tweaks. Could handle max 140W? 

 

@Tetsuany news about ZRT?

[SuperMG]

Hello, good news for M6800 users, a new heatsink has been made that's 2 in 1!

 

Triple heatpipes for the GPU and full copper plate. Can support standard NVIDIA MXM and the offset center ones! Better performance than the OEM one!

 

Compatible with RTX 3060,3070,3080, A4500, 4080, 4090 and GTX 900M, GTX 10 series and RTX 3000, 5000 (ADLINK, AETINA)

 

https://ebay.us/m/oFTxSC (available for purchase by cicichen)

 

I'll be the first one to test it, I'll test at 115W and 150W.

 

There is also one for M6700 but the RTX Ampère and Ada won't work in PEG eDP, even with the backlight cable...

I asked the same for the ZRT VBIOS of the 4080 and 4090 asap also but I'm still waiting... Maybe you'll have to wait a month for the results

asked cicichen for a 7720 RTX heatsink, lets see what he will respond 😁 maybe he can optimize the CPU part too

The OEM NV-A 7720 heatsink is good for the RTX 4050, 4060 and 4070 MXM, good temps on both. Just need to cut the part where the GPU's VRM are.

want put a 4080 or 4090 in then, never again less then 16GB, even older games(FFXV) with high res pack need around 12GB, n there is no RT on in the game 😄 

 

when the heatsink is too much(price) maybe will put the P5200 in the 7720 and then take the RTX heatsink for the m6800 😄

Just get the ZRT cards then for the 4080 and 4090 please. X-vsion doesn't want to fix their Vbios. Only good X-VSION cards for that gen is 4050,4060 and 4079.

 but they only have those maxQ versions...

 

ZRT 4090: 930/1455MHz - 130W

X-Vision 4090: 1620/2040MHz - 150W

 

X-Vision not that good?

150W ain't Max-Q. ZRT has eDP set to enabled. They advertise eDP unlike X-VSION and the VBIOS versions numbers are different than X-VSION.

 

We talked about X-VSION RTX 4080, 4090 all day on this forum, no they have a bad display table. Most laptops use DP_B for DP but these cards are set in HDMI for DP_B... Also the eDP is present but it's set to disabled. So when we install the drivers, the screen turns off. This doesn't happen with RTX 4050,4060,4070,3080 because the eDP output is enabled.

 

To fix this issue, the EDID override manipulation but it's quite annoying...

 

Just contact ZRT thru email or thru blibli (China). There are sadly no downloads available online for these VBIOSes whatsoever... I wanna flash them on my cards too...
