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

I'm on 551.xx driver on Win10

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.

Not yet, I’m trying this on M17xR2 first. 
 

and yes you can use desktop Kepler driver for mobile. I normally use GTX 770 for 880M

Hello. I see that GK104 576 CUDA doesn't have a desktop part. But there are many GK104 with 900-1300 CUDAs, would that work for the K3000M?

As long as the chipset is the same (gk104) then it should work

Okay. I did inf mod a GTX 680M for quadro drivers but meh. If I wanna use recent quadro drivers then that won't work great so that's where the K3000M comes handy.

 

Also is it better having a K3000M or HD 6990M in master and P5200 in slave?

Because on 3dmark I'm getting 3400. While the other person was getting 5700. We both have the same PCIE speed (x16 2.0). He's only using one GPU because of one MXM slot and he also uses a newer driver.

Do I need more power on my power supply? I have a 300W PSU. With 100W GTX 680M + "100W" P5200 (Max measured at 79W) and 80-130W Xeon E6520.

 

I then set high performance on the bios for the Power savings mode and the laptop SHUTDOWN INSTANTLY when booting windows...

 

K3000M is a 75W card

HD 6990M is a 100W card. So I need to inf mod TWO hardware IDs to get them both (K3000m and P5200) working on the recent drivers? We can't add more than 2 hardware IDs on NVCleanInstall...

Laptop shutting down at windows boot tells me something is overheating

I set to high performance in the unlocked bios, how will that overheat instantly? I think it had no power and cut. It never cuts on benchmark at 70W ( should be running at 100W instead). 

 

The guy who sold it to me was running at 110W with PCIE 2.0 X16

 

Do I need dual PSUs? Because I'm gonna upgrade to the W3680.. I found a power box converter for dual PSUs for 60USD (Clevo AC 200)
