Dell Precision M6700 Owners Thread

Sadly, because maxwell card are a pretty easy upgrade for the M6700, in worst case scenario you need to flash the right vbios..
And I think that kepler card are not performing well enough to waste money on them.
You should try another 980M or 970M from MSI laptop or DELL

 

I am really thinking getting an AMD, despite worst performance and fan control issue, but at least would be a decent upgrade from k4100m. And easier drivers support

In other hand also the m4000m or at least an 965M. 860m or 870m would be good or not?

 

The quadro model are to expensive for what they are, the M6700 work with 970M and 980M, you just have been unlucky and quadro model perform the same..

 

I bought the gtx980m to replace the old quadro k3000m. I thought I'd have to fight inf mod but not ...!
The machine recognized the windows 10 as soon as the drivers were installed and apparently I have a clevon card because the bios version is clevon. Geforce 418.81 drivers are now installed.
Temperatures when overclocked remain well below 80c with liquid metal.
I have unlocked bios now core 1126MHz mem 1400MHz



There is a link if someone wants to order from the same place. I recommend.
DHL bring it to me and 3-4days and cost 25,11€

Funny part mine was Clevo but it just worked one time and spent almost 4 days trying to get it working and I failed, I went rant mode on and returned it, and yesterday I ordered the R9 M290x which was cheap with the AMD heatsink and avoid again so much trouble about drivers, considering it is below an 970m and fan will be always running, I prefer that than messing drivers as I have been doing with the m5100 on my m4600

 

So I can confirm that 17.3" 4k panel should work on any nvidia card for the M6700. I tested my Quadro K4000M, my GTX970M, my Quadro P4000 and all of them were able to display 4k on the lcd, the "problem" with pascal is that unlike kepler and maxwell, the computer take a minute and a half to actually display something/start to show the dell logo/POST, it's an issue that happen at all boot/reboot, wake up the computer from sleep isn't affected by this issue, also sometime (like 1 out of 10/15) when I wake up the computer from sleep the contrast is false, I need to reboot it in order to get a proper display.

 

Whattt

Can i put 4k panel in my m6700. I do not know that m6700 can order in 4k panel?

 

Yes you can, it need a little bit of modification (of the lcd assembly), you can also make it running a dual display by it's own
