Possible GPU upgrade for Precision M4600

Oh my mistake on thee model number

Yeah the overclocked m5100 is more like barely enough for gaming at 720p low unless you enjoy older or less demanding titles.

I guess you already ordered the card and waiting for delivery?

 

@TheReciever

Yeah, sort of. Buying from TaoBao is not an easy thing to do from Europe

 

@valuxin

Yeah I hear you on that one. Even ordering from china via ebay can be a pain at times. I had a couple orders made to china to ship to korea and it still took 2months.

Then I order a heatsink from china to the USA and it arrives 10 days later, boggles me at times.

Im going to hold onto my m4600 for now. I plan to grab a 2860qm for it later if I can snag it for 50-70. Hard to justify 100 USD on a 2860qm when the whole laptop can be bought for 150 sometimes...

Either way I plan in the future to get a m4800 as a send off of the platform. Its done quite a bit for me over the years so its got some sentimental value.

 

What????

Did AMD RX560 work on M4600??
Which OS are you using for that? Windows 10? 64bit?

I want to try it...

 

Can anyone try out RX560 on M4600?

 

Would you be able to provide us with a screenshot of CPU-z on M4600 & RX560?

 

Hes waiting on shipment I believe.

Also I dont know exactly if its a rule here but most forums look down on double-triple posting Just edit your first post and your golden

 

Just to confirm the AMD FirePro S4000x works but... seems that i doesn't work with the mate panel, may it work with the IPS? because i installed on mine and i didn't have screen, weird part is that my VGA didn't work but the Display Port works so i guess HDMI too, it will be displayed as the M5100 with normal drivers, i just use Driver Booster and it displayed R9 M200X and as usual on BIOS it will say unknow VGA card, issue was the fan didn't work properly, tried to play The Evil Within but as soon it was loading the screen to play it just shut off

 

Maybe try using manual fan control with HWINFO?

 

That's good to know. S4000x sells for $49 USD as brand new.
But now used M5100 sells for $65 USD on Ebay.
I would recommend M5100...

The turning point of investment on M4600 will be RX560 MXM card compatibility...which is soon to be confirmed!
