New RTX5070ti Support for P870xx Series:

RTX5070Ti_1.jpg

Hello. 

 

It's interesting because I'm trying to upgrade a Clevo P570WM laptop that has an eDP screen.

 

This PC can be upgraded max to the Turing generation GPU such as Quadro RTX 3000,4000,5000 from HP because it has eDP on port D on the master MXM.

 

And on the MXM slave connector, I have an RTX 4090 MXM.

 

Now what I'm trying to do, make the X-VSION/ZRT RTX 4060/4070 work on this laptop.

 

I looked at the schematics and saw that my mxm connector and the new cards have the same signals for DP_D, which is eDP signal.

 

It's all good but... There's one problem. While comparing the pins, I saw 3 pins that were related to PANEL.

 

23 PNL_PWR_EN

25 PNL_BL_EN

27 PNL_BL_PWM

 

These pins are for the backlight of the internal screen, so the eDP screen.

 

I suppose without them, I think the screen won't even power on despite having the right video signal on DP_D? Is that correct?

 

The ZRT/X-VSION 4060/4070 have the pins set to N/A, which means blank pins, no signal at all.

 

Does that mean, we have a working eDP signal but no backlight support? Any idea?

 

For reference, I tested the RTX 4070 from X-VSION on my laptop, it won't display anything on the screen but the computer boots to windows. I can connect to DP and HDMI and it displays on external screen.

 

My MXM connector is literally the same as the P870TM1 connector.

 

Ps: I'm also developing a new 175W MXM heatsink for the "centered offset GPUs" so my 4080 and 4090 won't throttle

Hi,
Yes, you're right!
The adapter I developed also uses this pin assignment. I can control everything via jumpers on my board!
Pins 23/25 are simple jumpers for switching on, and pin 27 is pulse width modulated.
However, I found out during my tests that this pin is not necessary.

In the picture, you can see how I have taken the PINs into account on my board!

PCIe 5.0 ?

Hi,
The 9th Gen Intel only uses PCIe 3.0!
But I can reassure you that an RTX5090 laptop with HX370 is not nearly as fast for gaming as the combination of P870TM 9th and RTX50xx desktop series!
I'm still running benchmarks.

Yes but my screen is an eDP display, my Quadro P5200 and Quadro RTX 3000 have these pins I guess, otherwise that's why the RTX 4070 MXM doesn't work.

 

I don't see the screen powering on, on my laptop. However with a compatible card, first the screen backight powers on and then the video signal is out.

 

ZRT saw my messages but didn't even reply...

 

Does the RTX 3080 from clevo have these PANEL pins?

Yes, clevo Crads have this Pins!

ZRT/X-VSION Ampère doesn't even have eDP signals and the PANEL pins but Clevo Ampère does have them...

 

Which means ZRT/X-VSION Ada cards could potentially enable back the PANEL pins so we can finally use these cards on eDP display (P570, P870).

 

I'm still waiting a reply from ZRT because they once told me, they can do some "custom wiring", I'm not sure, but let's wait.

You can forget that question.
But you can still ask for clarification.
The MXM specification has defined these pins!!!

Yes these pins are on the specs, just that the manufacturer set them to N/A...

 

You can look up for en.zrt-tech online and look at the RTX 4060 MXM card, you can see the pins. I'm not to sure where to look at the physical pins (front or back of the PCB?, back?).

eDP pins are fixed, so the display power-on pins are also supported! You can see this in the pictures!

Yes the DP_D are fixed.

 

I looked and saw 3 pins on the back of the PCB. I hope these are the PANEL pins.

 

They have electrical lines but they are missing some IC and capacitors... I think the lines are here but not connected I suppose?

You need to take a closer look at the back. Of course everything is routed. If it's routed, it works!
