M6600 Owners Thread

Guys I think my 8900 GPU is dying or about to die...

Can this be replaced with better options?

Is there a list of GPUs I can upgrated to?

I would probably go for the higher end options (for gaming only)

EDIT: Found this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alienware-GeForce-GTX-860M-2GB-GDDR5-J0M0K-Laptop-Video-Card-GPU-MXM-3-0B-/331416371971

Would that be compatible with the m6600?

Regards

 

FirePro m6100 or nvidia GTX 680m

What about that 860M I linked? Any chances of that working?

Thanks in advance

 

Don't think 8XXm work at all, and overpriced for its performance.

 

Thanks for all the help.

One last set of questions.....

Why is the 860M not compatible when its MXM 3.0 B just like the 680 and the others?

You say its overpriced but I cant find a 680M under $400 compared to that 860M (I know the 680M is better but the price to performance seems better on the 860)

As for the 6100 I cant find it anywhere :*(

Where would be a good place to find some besides ebay?

Thanks again!

 

I don't have personally experience with 7xx/8xx but people who tried say it just dun work.

I got my cards from ebay.

M6100 pop ins once in a while and go for 150-200.

680m should be pretty easy to find under 400. Just checking, there actually a few of them on ebay under 400.

We have a NBR member selling a k5000m under 400 also.

 

Has anyone had problems with the SD CARD?

No matter what drivers I use (even the chipset drivers from the dell website)

I can not get the SD card to work. This might be a Windows 8.1 issue, but I am selecting 8.1 from the OS list and the correct chipset driver for the card reader.

I always get an error that reads 02sdjw7x64.inf not found when trying to install or remove or even repair the driver installation.

I even changed the piece that has the card reader (for an audio jack issue) so I can confirm its not hardware related (I even hear the windows sound confirming some media was inserted every time I put a card in the reader)

 

The auto driver install don;t work on win8 i think, try extract the driver and install from device manager.

 

You're a genius! That worked perfectly after a restart.

Do you use throttlestop? Would you care to share your settings if you do?

Thanks for all the help!

 

I used to run thorttlestop 24/7 and let the core idle at max clock, but lately I stop running it except for diagnostic as I found it doesn't really matter performance wise.

The 7.0 beta just expired ~~ My setting is nothing special though xD
