This is a bit out of topic but, are there any options for GPU upgrade in MSI GX70 (AMD counterpart of the GT70)

So far from what I've seen, it's got something called AMD Enduro which forces it to use iGPU for light tasks and then use the HD8970M for heavy tasks. No one has managed to disable iGPU through any means.

The laptop uses an 17.3 inch LVDS panel and what I want to know is that if there is any possible GPU upgrade for it. (Picked it up at a local marketplace for 50$)

 

Specs- AMD A10 5750M

             8GB DDR3 1600

             128GB SATA SSD

             HD 8970M 2GB

Heard that NVIDIA graphics cards won't work in this model due to the Enduro thing. Please help.

Hello.

 

This is the wrong thread.

 

Your laptop is LVDS. This thread is for a product to allow eDP displays to work with the newest RTX MXM.

 

Enduro is the Optimus of Intel.

 

Try to get a Quadro Maxwell or a cheap Quadro P3000/P4000 and try. If it doesn't work, you could send the item back if the seller agrees.

 

Did your laptop model came with an Nvidia MXM? 

 

I don't see why it wouldn't work but your CPU's single thread is very low.

Sorry for posting on this thread but the MSI GX70 has some weird bs that forces the igpu and dgpu to run together.

A user in MSI forums had tried to install an 880M but the laptop had a black screen.

Any thoughts on GPU compatibility?

No. I meant did your laptop brand model came with an NVIDIA GPU? Like a GTX 780M?

 

Edit: I researched and no, it never came with Nvidia graphics only with AMD.

 

You might encounter some problems like no boot, fan panic. Even if your APU is the display device.

 

If you had the MSI GT70, it's compatible with Nvidia
