Ray Tracing on M18xR2 - RTX 3000 MXM Upgrade!

[jonv8944s]

Ahhh thats exactly what I needed... Ok I will try it tomorrow, but yes, I was missing that LEGACY Option Rom enabled, because I never saw that intel Rapid Storage Technlogy menu anymore after the unlocked bios install.  This helps, but I will tackle it tomorrow, not in the mood for it tonight.

 

I REALLY appreciate all the help !!

Hi, I pick up my RTX.

 

Round 1: 

 

Installed

 

 

after start GPU is visible in BIOS

 

 

but windows device meneger show me video controller 3w

 

 

what now ?? i don't have any information about this device, only code 28 and can't edit driver.

[emcze]

Round 2:

 

I tried to install RTX Driver but " device is not present "

Second try and this time I copied Nvidia Driver to another location.

From directory with drivers I manualy installed nv_dispwi.inf.

In Device Meneger I "update driver" and chose GRAPHIC DRIVER / NVIDIA / QUADRO RTX3000 ( was present after installed nv_dispwi.inf )

 

and.... 

 

my new Quadra RTX3000 is on my system 🙂

 

I copied BIOS here if you want to compare.

Round 3:

 

I modified nv_dispwi.inf for my RTX 3000 and installed with "Disabled driver signature enforcement"... with fully succes !

 

 

🙂 🙂 🙂 

[emcze]

Liquid metal works with RTX 3000. "Shadow of the Tomb Rider" with all setings at Ultra gives me over 40fps with GPU temp about 60-70 C

 

I have problem with M17X R4, I installed unlocked BIOS without problem but I changed from Legacy to UEFI and... M17X now only power on and power off, power on and power off, power on and power off, power on and power off...........

 

After removed CMOS battery I have 5 beeps but after restarted still power on and power off, power on and power off, power on and power off, power on and power off....

 

It looks like "BIOS will not allow POST to complete without TPM handshake with original TPM Windows 10 or TPM Windows 11 (C:) boot disk" and  "If your motherboard's security feature refuses to be unlocked or has been corrupted, a new motherboard is your only option."

 

Maybe another solution ??

Do you see AW logo and can boot to BIOS before it turns off?

1. Would it be possible for you to give a step-by-step for this?  I am at this phase right now too, and I dont want to mess anything up. I am getting this error:

 

 

2. Also how are you guys running windows 11 when it states we dont have the right hardware on our Alienware M18x r2 to run windows 11?  I'd love to move my sons pc up to windows 11, but when I tried before it said hardware didnt support it.  Any help?

Use RUFUS and Win 11 ISO, there is a guide, on RUFUS site for burning to thumb drive, then on win 10 click setup.exe and should install, I prefer not to set with user account so I can install on any PC

If you download this file

nv_dispwi.inf

 

and click right button on it, and manually install it your RTX should works.

 

Try to download Furmark 3D and check it. 

 

but if you have full Nvidia driver you should do this:

 

 

( say hallo to @ssj92 🙂 )

Are these temps too high?! Ugh 😩

I have about 77 - 80 in hotspot. But when I play with video settings on ultra I have obout 60.

Furmark is killer not realustic test. 

[jonv8944s]

Any idea why mine is higher temps?  I used kryonaut extreme.  And new Thermal pads on what I thought were the important components on the GPU.

I used conductonaut liquid metal. 

[emcze]

To check realistic temp run GPU-z and monit temp when play game with high settings. 

[jonv8944s]

Btw again BIG THANK YOU So much to the 3 of you for making this work @emcze @ssj92  and the 3rd guy i forgot lol.

 

system is up and running, I’ll tweak it for more performance later, just glad it all worked.  What a pain in the 🫏.

I only summary information from this thread. It was from smarter users than me. 

[jonv8944s]

ugh, ok I took the advice on how to upgrade to windows 11, and now I am on windows 11 BUT the NVIDIA card is now not working.. ugh...  (Now what do I do?)

Your RTX3000 now is named 3D Video Controller. 

 

What you need to do:

 

Download file nv_dispwi.inf - I uploaded it few post earlier. 

Click right button on It and click install on menu. 

After "Driver was installed succesfull" go to the Device Meneger and click on 3D Video Display. 

Click update driver and use update nanualy from driver installed in system. 

Click Graphic Card after that Nvidia after that Quadro RTX3000. 

Will be information that this driver can be not correct for this device but click update. 

Now your 3D Video display will be RTX3000.

I'm getting this error now:

 

 

[jonv8944s]

Also if anyone has 'updated' drivers for those 2 OTHER "!" devices, I'd love to know how to make those go away too:

 

1. Intel(r) Wireless Bluetooth(R)

2. NVIDIA Platform Controllers and Framework

 

Any help on those will be appreciated as well!

[jonv8944s]

I MAY have fixed it, I did a DDU clean driver install and now its not giving me the error on the display adapter.  About to reboot and see if the error comes back.

 

well device error is gone, but now when i try to run a game or use nvidia control panel it crashes with this:

It means driver error. 

 

Try use earlier driver for RTX.

[emcze]

I want to check your problem... 

 

I used DDU cleaner. Removed all driver. Installed new RTX3000 driver and... have the same. Shadow of the Tomb Rider and Mad Max not working, system gave me blue screen. 

 

I hope tha system recovery point repair my computer 🙂

[jonv8944s]

You probably wont like my solution, its probably excessive, but I reinstalled windows 10 but used same new nvidia driver and bsod stopped and no more crashing when I play my kids fortnite game (which is the whole thing that started this upgrade lol)

 

Also that’s too nice of you to try to reproduce my issue, I was worried it was a bad card for me, but if yours does the same thing now, I think you are right its a bad driver (when used with windows 11). It works fine on windows 10.
