My m15x has 980M with latest driver. 

so i'm running the latest 460 driver available for windows 7 i think or something like that.
but windows 10 is having problems.
Both drivers have been modified by NVCleanstall.

Hello. I got the P5200 work on the Clevo X7200 as the slave GPU. Temps monitoring all works but the performance isn't good.

 

Because the master GPU is a Fermi based GTX 485M... And there are no drivers that's shared between Fermi and Pascal.

 

I just installed inf drivers for the p5200 then installed the 485M one. Because I need to install the master's drivers or nothing would work.

 

Now Nvidia Panel states the version I'm running is the 391 lol

 

I tried to run the HD 5870 as the master but it keeps dying at the first minute of the boot (Windows and DOS)... And the HD 5870 is from the clevo WU860. I tested the HD 5870 with and without the slave GPU, still the same shutdown issue.

@ssj92Hello. How did you manage to make the GTX 980M + RTX 5000 combo work together with the drivers?

 

Can the RTX 5000 render in DirectX 11/12?

Yes with 880M + RTX 5000 and M2000M + RTX 5000.

 

not all cards work. GTX 1080 causes restart loop. 3080 causes laptop to freeze at Alienware logo. 
 

980M also causes freeze at AW logo.

How do you make them work without losing any performance and use DirectX on the slave card? I use 485M and 680M + P5200 and I get crappy performance. I'm at full PCIE speed too.

880M + RTX 5000 was using older drivers that had both kepler and turing

 

M2000M + RTX 5000 are both supported in latest drivers so I can use one driver for both (2 INF mods). 

 

I can use every feature of RTX 5000 even DX12, ray tracing, dlss, etc. 

 

In PEG mode.

No registry mods? Can I do K3000M + P5200? 427.68?

Just the registry mode for "high performance" and "power saving" gpu that I wrote in the rtx 5000 post in m18x thread

Did you try on your M18X R1 AMD + RTX 5000?

Hi. I saw your video about installing unsupported notebook GPUs on desktop drivers.

 

You had the GK104 GTX 880M. Can I install the newest quadro driver that's supported by GK104 chip? (k3000m, k4000m, k5000m, k4200) ? Drivers for K3000M are from 2019 but the desktop one is from 2023.
