Specification:

It's a "D" revision of the HP's P5200 MXM, so it's a bit trickier to modify in order to accept vBIOS. I did try to just solder a BIOS chip but it didn't work. I think there's a forum member with the right knowledge to make it happen. Not to mention that my system is a bit picky when it comes to output since it's not exactly eDP, rather DP driven LVDS converter board with a 10bit display to make it more fun. Anyway the card was brand new when I got it, now it has some K5 Pro residue, that's why I'm listing it as used, although it has like half an hour in total in the laptop, acting like dead, because without BIOS it is. I don't exactly want to part with it, but I'd rather have the money at this point in time.

 

UPDATE (07Mar2025):

Thanks to @GuitarG for supplying the vBIOS, I managed to run this GPU in my system. Sadly it still refuses to drive the internal screen. I made a few Time Spy runs, just to test it out. It runs fine I guess for my old hardware. I've uploaded a few more pictures. Auto-fan control works, which is bizarre! I'd rather trade that for having working internal, but it's not how it works 🙂 Currently the card has a vBIOS chip and has a DELL 110W vBIOS.

 

UPDATE (09Mar2025):

I may have word it incorrectly - sadly it's the DreamColor  that's the problem, or the drivers, or both. It works fine on it while using the basic driver and during boot time. Once the driver is installed it works up until the Login screen and that's it. Then it switches to the external. So it works, just not with my setup. Similar behavior has the GTX 1070. 

 

The price has been updated as well.

veeeery interesting card, with a bit of tweaking u can get that up to 1080 desktop levels! plus it sports 16GB of vRAM, way ahead of its time. but true, the tricky part is the vbios chip soldering since at stock it comes without one and also finding a proper vbios that ur machine actually supports.

 

good luck with the sale!

That was the plan, but things changed "a bit". Also these 16gigs would've been more than enough for 1200p, hell even for 1600p (my external). Oh well.

 

Thanks!
