So 4060M works on M4800/M6800 then?

I personally have not decided to try it yet) but another forum member is trying it - the card is visible in the bios, but not in the system.

Okay then it should also work in M18xR2.

I'm sure it will work. the native bios does not require 4g decoding. the main problem is with heatsink, but it can be solved.

He needs correct drivers for windows then?

I think vBIOS with 4g decoding is only reason some Ada GPUs and even A4500 Amphere didn't work in M18xR2. 

 

It would be quite difficult to implement, but we could at least add ReBar support and see if it helps.

No, that's not it - the device is just not visible in Device Manager.

It would be nice if they could add support for 4g decoding.
Well, in any case, I tried flashing other bios from 4060m - and the first one seems to have checked for this feature. my test computer (and I tested it initially on a PC through an adapter) did not want to boot and judging by the postcodes hung on pcie device detection.

here is a screenshot of the current bios

Is this GPU-Z screenshot in M17xR4 or desktop?

 

If you want to send me your current unlocked BIOS, I can try adding at least resizable bar support and you can test to see if it works. But you need to make sure you have a programmer and can backup your current bios in case flash doesn't work. 

 

If it works, I plan to make M17xR4, M18xR2, AW 18 and AW 17 rebar BIOS

This is a screenshot from a desktop, I can do the same on a laptop if you need it.
The bios modification sounds interesting)

Hi all, at this stage it makes sense to go ahead and try for a small miracle. I have a programmer and one spare  M18XR2 motherboard  just for testing . I can test and test. Here's my dump. Thank you.

If I send you my M18X R2 BIOS dump, would you add it too? And in which source are you basing off to add rebar?
