Not sure about the ports if they need the discrete gpu or if I can remove the gpu

You don't need a dGPU for the hdmi, vga and the first dp port of the dock, but you do for the dp connector on the laptop and the second port on the dock. You can see it on the schematic of the device.

There's a BIOS setting which controls the "DP MUX PS8331" in the middle of the picture there and flips it between dGPU output and iGPU output. It is next to the toggle for graphics switching, and it is called something like "Enable discrete dock display output".

 

You should be able to use "most" of the display outputs if the dGPU is removed. But if you want two external displays connected, one of them will have to be VGA.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any smaller TDP VBIOSes that would be compatible with XVSION 4060.
There is a small workaround - ASUS GPUTWEAK III, for some reason MSI Afterburner just didn't let me adjust anything, GPUTWEAK III however does, I lowered the temp limit to 80C and it sits at around 65-80 W, but hey, it freaking works!!!!!

I was fighting with my M4800 to get RTX 4060 working since December 2024.. to this day, and the issue was the i7 4980HQ mutant CPU. I am using an i7 4930MX now.

I'm glad it finally started working for you. Just to be safe, check the memory temperature as well, not just the GPU - on my 4060, the memory tended to overheat easily, unfortunately. This card really does get too hot.

Hello

 

So the GPUTWEAK III software allows to set a precise power limit and temperature limit? Without needing to use these previous "Nvidia driver bug" that unlock the power limit for laptops?

It is actually fine, memory didn't go above 70 C, kinda nuts, but if I let the GPU run without GPUTWEAK - core easily goes above 87 C with 105-ish C on the hotspot. But what is even scarier is the power consumption - M4800 supplied 115W while being stressed by FurMark Knot (VK) 1080P

Sadly it only lets you reduce clocks and temp limit, although GPU-Z that power limit can be changed down to -89%, but I can't figure out how to do that. MSI Afterburner is useless in this case. Weird.
