70runner Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hello Also a casualty of the NBR closure...loved that forum. See some of same folks here. Been a notebook guy since late 90s. First laptop was a Toshiba Tecra 780, IIRC 13" screen, Pentium 2, DVD player, and monster 5GB drive. Current is Dell Precision M6800. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd you come across this site if you don't mind me asking? Don't mind at all. Was googling nvidia driver inf mod and landed here. That's when I discovered NBR forum had bit the dust. Had replaced the M6800 GPU with a 980M few years ago and needed refresher on inf mod procedure. Aaron44126 was on NBR and helped me from time to time. Believe he has an M6700. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, yes, I am still rocking the M6700 (...though only for another 3-4 months...) and I've done my fair share of GPU swaps and NVIDIA INF mods. Doing my best to make this a go-to place for Precision MWS users to discuss the systems' ins and outs (old and new models alike). Not quite as active as NBR was (yet?) but a number of regulars have made their way over. Do stop by if you have any issues to discuss. 2 Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 (personal) • Dell Precision 7560 (work) • Full specs in spoiler block below Info posts (Dell) — Dell Precision key posts • Dell driver RSS feeds • Dell Fan Management — override fan behavior Info posts (Windows) — Turbo boost toggle • The problem with Windows 11 • About Windows 10 LTSC Spoiler Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 (personal) M2 Max 4 efficiency cores 8 performance cores 38-core Apple GPU 96GB LPDDR5-6400 8TB SSD macOS 14 "Sonoma" 16.2" 3456×2234 120 Hz mini-LED VRR display Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3 99.6Wh battery 1080p webcam Fingerprint reader Also — iPhone 12 Pro 512GB, Apple Watch Series 8 Dell Precision 7560 (work) Intel Xeon W-11955M ("Tiger Lake") 8×2.6 GHz base, 5.0 GHz turbo, hyperthreading ("Willow Cove") 64GB DDR4-3200 ECC NVIDIA RTX A2000 4GB Storage: 512GB system drive (Micron 2300) 4TB additional storage (Sabrent Rocket Q4) Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 15.6" 3940×2160 IPS display Intel Wi-Fi AX210 (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3) 95Wh battery 720p IR webcam Fingerprint reader Previous Dell Precision 7770, 7530, 7510, M4800, M6700 Dell Latitude E6520 Dell Inspiron 1720, 5150 Dell Latitude CPi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70runner Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Good to hear. My 6800 is going on about 7yrs old. I've never had a more reliable laptop. Love having the extra internal drives. With the 980M it can hold it's own with games. Not a big gamer but occasionally enjoy a Doom Eternal frenzy. There will likely come a time when the Maxwell GPUs will go the way of the Keplers and no longer be supported. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Maxwell GPUs first appeared in 2014, so that is a pretty good long run of support.) However, no reason that you cannot continue using it for some time after NVIDIA stops releasing new drivers. It's not very often that new games require a certain brand-new NVIDIA driver version in order to run. An open question is whether they will split the end of support timeframe for mobile and desktop GPUs like they did with Kepler. (Kepler laptop GPU support ended in early 2019, but desktop support continued through later in 2021.)
