Onehit Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I recently upgraded my Clevo P177SM-A to incorporate a Quadro P5200. The card works but I soon found out that the Clevo laptop has no MUX switch even with the Prema bios installed. This means no g-sync capabilities and a total oversight on my part. My Zbook 17 G2 does have an MUX switch in bios and I can control my display settings through the Nvidia panel in Windows 10. I had thought about upgrading my laptop to a 980m last year, but I forgot about it until now. Thinking about this situation makes me want to try and install the P5200 into the HP laptop, but I think there will be issues if I did that. For one, I read online somewhere that apparently the Zbook 17 G2 can only go up to a 980m if you have the standard 1080p panel. Pascal cards are supported if you have the dreamcolor ips display, which I do not have. Second, I don't have the HP vbios for the P5200, only the Dell one. I just want to know if this information is true and whether or not I would want to spend the money to buy the ips screen. I would also love it if someone had the Hp vbios for the P5200 (non VR backpack one, just the regular vbios.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 yeah its going to be rough without gsync. I never had gsync until I bought this 55 in x85j tv that does 120hz 4k with gsync....its a game changer ZEUS-COMING SOON Omen 16 2021 Zenbook 14 oled Vivobook 15x oled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarG Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 On techpowerup there are two HP 100w P5200 bios bin files that work. Both tested, both work. I used them with HP 8570w 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saperkus Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 There used to be a topic on Tom's Guide about MXM GPU upgrades on HP ZBook devices. Someone tested quite a bit of MXM GPUs on HP ZBook 17 G2 - luckily I made a screenshot from that post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried a WX4150 (based on RX460/560) in my 15 G2 and the result seemed to be that the fan would remain at max speed. But the upside was that installing drivers for the thing was swift and hassle-free. But looking at the vBIOS for the HP WX4150 I found that fan control looked really really off.
