Modify INF and it should work The driver version i used from gigabyte on p106m was also a similar version but is 384.74, that partially worked on that benchmark. seems like something on the new drivers broke functionality with this type of optimus on m6600 or other sandybridge systems for the pascal gpus. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upandaway Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I am so confused. My service tag is 14DVLQ1 and I have a Quadro P4000. The best I can tell I have a LVDS display and I can only get the system to display anything on the first boot (ie clear CMOS every time) but displaying only goes as far as bios and not os. However I can ssh to the system but it doesn't show the card. Every subsequent boot doesn't even show the dell splashscreen. In bios with the new card it shows as "unknown panel". From what I understand P4000 doesn't support LVDS so I am exceedingly dumbfounded on how this is suppose to work (is it?) Intel GPU displays from Nvidia GPU? Given I can't seem to get it to work any input is appreciated, this is very interesting mix and match for a laptop. (Bios is rev A18 and I am fairly confident the GPU is not dead but who knows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upandaway Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Thanks for that info! Somehow I missed it, I've read your other posts and I've gotten the applicable vbois and I'll be ordering a adapter to flash it. Might be a few weeks but it will be fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upandaway Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Well I got my cheap mxm -> pcie adapter (Chinese mining thing "GPU Host v2.1"). I fiddled with it but no dice. Short and sweet is that is a whole can of not-worth-it-worms. On a whim I reinstalled the p4000 into my M6600 and for some reason, it posted and booted like nothing was wrong. Really bizarrely I cannot seem to replicate it as of yet (HDMI was in). I do not need to replicate it for now I just have to get the card flashed. I have verified the p4000 works (at least once). Oh and BTW dear reader, it did not shut off after the post it just went straight to grub (Linux) on that one off. I shall fiddle with it some more and see if I can get it to work all of the time.

upandaway Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 More updates, the P4000 I have is a DOA card. That one in a million behavior is just the integrated graphics kicking in. Upon closer inspection this had has some minor damage around some smd components. Back to square 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This card doesn't dump too much heat so it should be fine once everything is installed right. Which version do you have? HP Or Aetina? Ps: he has the HP one. But which vbios version do you have? Can I flash an HP VBIOS to an Aetina card? It's to use it as eDP on a Clevo 120Hz screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows as being Dell in gpu-z even though I've made no changes to the vbios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that it does have eDP but you could look around here on the forum for any examples where this card was paired with that display type or not.

GumCat Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Was wondering if a T1000 MXM, essentially a GTX 1650 would work in a M6600. Found someone on Ebay selling one with a T1000. Thought this might be interesting to someone here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means you can use an RTX 4070 MXM to work with your eDP display using my incoming flex cable mod for backlight enable. Yes Aetina cards lack the backlight pins so no display. Although they have DP on DP_D. A new vbios won't help the Aetina cards to obtain eDP support, it's hardware related.

GumCat Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Seems like dx 12 is a problem for optimus with the intel hd 3000. Maybe because it never supported any drivers with it in existence. I think the hd 3000 is a dx 10.1 card lol. Might be an issue on that end. The intel side is too old feature wise and the nvidia side too new. I'm suspicious that with dx12 support came some end of support too. Linux would probably be an option with any newer gpu. I can't say for pascal but my M3000m is pure jank with optimus on windows. The hd 3000 doesn't even run, and has a warning triangle in device manager, but in linux it runs okay. Should be the same with newer cards. I run my m3000m on windows 10 without optimus. The guy writing the Ad admits that is janky. No hibernate or sleep and didn't show any benchmarks proving it functions with all features. He's running 425.32 drivers. No clue if it works well though.
