Graphics Card upgrade for M6800 ?

I see no point in doing that as i got the lines saved away for future use, and knowing that the inf-files and sections change frome time to time i look for the section with the enabled options i want/need.

Other than saving myself two reboots (30sec x2), what do i gain in signing the drivers since i only install them once?

 

You don't have to re-examine the INF files or sections on every update. Even though the section numbers change, the device IDs are not moved between INF files, and the options will be (basically) the same for a given device ID. Once you decide which device ID you are targeting for replacement, just set yourself up a find-and-replace macro and it should work for all future driver updates. (Only replacing the right side of the line makes this simple because you can do a straight find-and-replace and you do not have to worry about multiple steps or adding lines anywhere. Even if they add a new Windows version section, as long as the find-and-replace is hitting the entire file then it will replace all instances and you will be covered.)

Signing the driver yourself is just a time saver. (Time investment to get it set up but then you can use the process repeatedly.) You can script it along with the INF find-and-replace operation and then you just have to run a single command after downloading a new NVIDIA driver file to get everything set up. I've been doing this for a couple of years.

 

Did anybody try to install a P4000m ?
What kind of performance boost do you get vs a M5000M?
Thanks

3Dmark Fire Strike result :
P3000 GPU score : 7948
P4000 GPU score : 11870
P5000 GPU score : 15144
M5000M GPU score : 9375

That's only graphics score, and only depend on the graphics card, M5000M and P5000 result are from @Aaron44126 (with elmor calculator), P4000 is by me and P3000 result is by lewis marx, I believe Aaron score are a little bit low because he used optimus, I don't know about lewis.
From my experience you can game on the P4000 consuming between 60 and 70W while the M5000M is more around 100W

 

Excellent news.
I guess the card has its own Vbios as opposed to the P4200m

 

Yes but you need to flash a specific vbios to get it working and enable UEFI/disable legacy oprom

 

Where do you enable UEFi?.Does it require to reinstall win10?
Is it possible to install then the P4200m from HP?

 

In the bios, you disable everything that's legacy, otherwise you need to wait about a minute and a half with a black screen at every boot.
P4200 is not compatible AFAIK

 

I doubt that P4200 would work because of Pascal vBIOS issues.

Someone got a HP RTX Quadro card working in the M6700 without much trouble. So I think that it would work in the M6800. However, there are physical compatibility issues. The card is slightly larger. The die is in a different place on the card. A heatsink mod is required to get it to attach.
