Seems the 680M i put in to the venerable P15HMx died today playing MGS V.... Five months run time is not that great... :-(

No graphics card shows up in the Device Manager Display Adapter anymore... reseated the card, no difference.

Any other tips? I'm guessing the 680M is still the best card that can be used in a P150HMx... might be time for an upgrade.

Rats...

Pulled the trigger, installed a 680M in my venerable P150HMx. Very nice! Bit of inf modding and straight in. Easily double the power of the 485M 2GB, which i'm selling in case anyone is interested.

Also had anyone figured out a fix for the sleep mode not working correctly? I'll go hunting in the Kepler Vbios thread and give a few things a go.

Thanks

You would get stuck even before the BIOS loads...not even getting to the choice to boot from anything.

@JB well the P170HM3 was Clevos last single GPU 3D model as the P170EM3 was canceled early in development.

So would be nice to show them a "P170HM3 running GTX980M @ 1500Mhz in 3D" into their face!

Any luck with your HM work Prema? I'm considering a 680M for the P150HM, but it seems like a waste to spend $500+ on a chip that's already 3 years old... :S

Would be insanely great to get a 980M in there instead!

Thanks!

I'd definitely make a generous donation if it could be done

Cool thanks for the info Prema. When you say they don't work @ stock conditions, do you mean because of clock speeds/voltage etc or is the only issue the bios?

I'd be happy to give it a go on mine, seems worth a try rather than the modest upgrade to 680M.

Hi,

I'm running a 2011 P150HMx, i7-2920xm, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD with the original GeForce 485M GTX.

Keen to upgrade the GPU but from what i've seen the P150HM only supports up to the Geforce 680M or AMD 7970M.

Has anyone tried putting a 980M or 970M into a P150HM? They seem to have the same spec (MXM 2.0B), and the same max power requirement as the 485M (100Watts).

Thanks!
