Possible GPU upgrade for Precision M4600

I'm not sure where you get your data, but they're the exact same chip, which support the same features.

That chip is an underclocked / undervolted (desktop) Radeon 7770, which subsequently was rebranded under several monikers (both desktop and mobile).

Search for "640:40:16" on that page, and you'll find all its "disguises" Well, except for the 14nm 400-series and up. Coincidence that they're all GCN 1st-gen, 28nm?

 

True it seems a rebranded and slightly increased clock rates but, negative at least if somebody can upload a screenshot, i mean m5100 only supports DX11 and well it says that the W5170M supports DX12, meaning that you can use it on games like Rise of the Tomb Raider, i can't activate it on the M5100 because it's graved. As you may know on desktop GPU who has enabled DX12 even the weakest RX460 which i have i can use the DX12 feature

 

This is accurate.

 

M6100 has been ordered, with a bunch of copper RAMsinks also in tow.

Ill keep you guys up to date on this little project I have for myself as a reward for finally acquiring my Bachelors degree

 

Congrats!

 

Thanks

 

I have a weird thing that i can't recover from sleep or if i close the lid, i remember having an HP that had that issue and a Dell Vostro with switchable graphics and it needed a modded driver.
But i don't know if its the same card, which i think that could be defective in some way because in the BIOS settings it's an unknown VGA card but it's a M5100, and on Windows it's just a Radeon R9 M200X and vendor says Dell.

 

You will never see it reported as an m5100.

 

but what about the sleep state and it never cames back? that sounds like stuff of hackintosh but no Windows...

 

Make a thread for that. This is not a troubleshooting thread.
