Graphics Card upgrade for M6800 ?

Just a step by step tutorial showing how to fit the thermal pads needed and the Heatsink.Would be nice for others to follow and try.

 

Honestly not sure but I suspect that it would work with both; I've read a number of success stories regarding upgrades to Pascal in older Alienwares and other non-Dell systems (GeForce 1060 and 1070, not Quadro); aside from physical compatibility with the heatsink it seems that the main blocker is LVDS.

 

Have you tried windows 7? Does brightness control work?

 

Did somebody find an ES vbios for a Quadro P3000? im experiencing ACPI_Bios_Errors on a m6800 too. (with a P3000)

 

I'm looking for this too, not necessarily ES vbios, any other brand's vbios worth a try.

 

No lar, no time to try this, your M6700 still haven't given up?

 

Here's a vbios from a P3000 on a Precision 7720 version 86.04.3A.00.2D

Tried putting same gpu on a m6800 before upgrading to a p5000 and got a acpi_bios_error.

 

Of course using Dell vbios will end up with this. Need other brand's vbios.

 

I think Dell is purposely making their cards not work with their older laptops that's capable of supporting Pascal cards.

 

Ok the P5000 mobile I won from eBay arrived end of last week while I was away. I'll try to get it installed this weekend and try to take pictures etc.
