GonnaSyphalAids Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hi guys and GalsI just bought this laptop and have a few questions if anyone can helpThe specs:Amd A10-5750mHD 8650g graphics750 gig hdd8 gigs ddr3 ramCurrently I have been doing some research and I got into my advanced bios it turns out I am 99 percent sure this big laptop has mxm support it has the option in the bios to switch cards and also asks if I want to activate mxm.Basically what I want to know is if it is possible to buy a mxm card and install to run dual graphics. I plan on locking the processor at 3.2 when I figure that part out.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm pretty sure it doesn't have support for mxm cards. Hope I'm wrong though, could you open up the bottom panel and upload a picture?

Also I have the service manual I got it off of the hp website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksI've been trying to figure out the same thing, but I haven't even gotten as far as unlocking the bios to see the MXM options. Can you tell me how you did that?

Also, have you tried locking to 3.2 ? I can do this with RW everything but every time I do the lock it actually gives worse framerate . its like there's not enough power going to the igpu when the CPU is locked.
