As Mr. Fox was able to do it? Is it true or hoax?

As Mr. Fox was able to do it the M18xR1 ( HM67, i7 2920XM ) to run 2 x HD 7970M CF bus Interface PCI-E 3.0 ???
Is it true or hoax?

What? Hm67 supports pcie 3.0...

 

I also want to know how Mr. Fox did it.. as far as I know, this is impossible.

 

i don't understand.. ?

What's the point of this thread?

 

As HM67 to make 3.0

 

No sir, it's real, not sure why you think it's impossible. For reference, THIS is a hoax:

 

Please tell me how can I do it? Thank you.

 

You will have zero benefits with 7970M on PCIe 3.0. Not even close of saturating 2.0

 

I have 2 x 880M SLI.

Someone tell me how to do it?

 

it isn't running at 3.0 speeds... it is running at 1.1 speeds... the first part is the max of the cards... last number is what it is really running at... hm 67 doesn't support 3.0 nor does the processor...
cpu:
ARK | Intel® Core™ i7-2920XM Processor Extreme Edition (8M Cache, up to 3.50 GHz)
chipset:
ARK | Mobile Intel® HM67 Express Chipset (Intel® BD82HM67 PCH)

edit:

so when it says pci-e 3.0x16@x8 1.1

the max is pci-e 3.0 x 16

and it is really running at pci-e 1.1 x 8

it can't be using 16 lanes of pci-e with 2 cards that he has because there is only 16 lanes of pci-e.

 

Need to be careful when quoting Intel. It's up to board manufacturers, but it could be right.

 

I didn't do anything except take a screen shot. Not a hoax, just a buggy piece of software.

You can never 100% rely on CPU-Z, GPU-Z or any other software to be 100% accurate all the time. That was when 7970M CrossFire was a new toy and GPU-Z probably was not reading information correctly.

Below is the same M18xR1 with 780M SLI today. Notice that it is PCIe 2.0. (The 1.1 is shown in that other screen shot because the 7970M cards were not under any load and it is normal for that to drop at idle time.)

 

even if the information about the chipset could be wrong... if the processor doesn't support it won't work... and there is no mobile cpu that supports pcie 3.0. List of Intel chipsets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia even amd's doesn't support above 2.0. They are controlled what was the south bridge. which are now dmi for intel and fch for amd.

The southbridge became redundant and it was replaced by the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) architecture introduced with the Intel 5 Series chipset in 2008. All southbridge features and remaining I/O functions are managed by the PCH which is directly connected to the CPU via the Direct Media Interface.

See this picture to see what happens when I hover over the speed box

Spoiler

 

Well not in that notebook no, though modern mobile CPUs support PCI-E 3.0

 

which one does that... I been looking for over an hour... can't find one that is mobile cpu that can do pcie 3.0...

 

Thanks for the reply Mr. Fox.

 

Any 3xxx or 4xxx series intel core processor.

 

Yes 3XXX and 4XXX can do PCI-e 3.0 x16 or 2 x PCI-E 3.0 x8.

The M18xR1 does PCI-E 2.0 x8 x2.

On these mobile cards, you won't notice a difference in performance.

 

Even on desktops it only REALLY matters when going to 3 card configurations.
