About to buy a Gaming Laptop
0ldman replied to wilsonngu's question in What Notebook Best Fits My Needs?
960m vs 750 ti and 1050 ti vs 1050 ti mobile, everything is virtually identical between the desktop and mobile versions. The chip, clock speed, power consumption *might* be a tad different but I doubt it, the 640 shader units weren't exactly power hogs. Rated 75W but typically only pulled 45W even on a desktop at full load. Even overclocked they don't draw a lot. Really good match for a laptop due to the inherent limitation in cooling. -
Overclocking K3000M on Dell M6700 is not possible?
0ldman replied to natasha123's topic in Overclocking, Cooling & Build Logs
MXM GPU? You *might* be able to put it in a desktop and flash the BIOS with an MXM to PCIe adapter, but Dell locks their stuff down pretty hard. They didn't used to. The Inspiron 8000 came out and the GPU was removable, first one ever as far I know. I was part of that little side project, we were flashing the BIOS, upgrading the card to the Geforce 2 Go from the later model 8000s, then the Geforce 4 Go (Geforce 4 400MX or something), the Radeon 9000, etc... Dell initially just kind of let it happen but they started getting pretty irritated with the 8xxx forum being filled with video upgrade discussions rather than normal tech support questions. -
Member Introduction Thread - Post Here!
0ldman replied to Xonar's topic in Site Announcements, Rules & New Member Intros
Howdy. Started in IT in 93ish, always interested in tech. Been working in IT professionally since 98, started a computer service and a WISP. Currently disabled, trying to get back to work before I lose my mind.... tinkering with all of my tech to keep myself busy. Inspiron 7559 main laptop, custom desktop, Xeon 1230 v2 overclocked, 970 SLI, backup laptop is an Asus G73SW that I'm hoping to upgrade to a Kepler or maybe a Maxwell. We'll see. Planning on getting a PCIe to MXM adapter so I won't have to blind flash. -
Dell 220W PSU enough for the eVGA gtx 750ti FTW edition?
0ldman replied to yeahman45's topic in General Notebook Discussions
The 750 Ti is a sub-75W card, I'm pretty sure in testing it actually draws less than 50W at peak at stock clock speeds. You should be fine. My entire Inspiron 7559 with a 45W CPU and 960M (exact same chip as the 750 Ti with higher clock speeds) only has a 130W AC adapter powering the entire unit. -
Laser cut search - Looking for dead GPU with GK104 core

I've got a dead 460M. Would any info from that be worth referencing? -
BIOS / VBIOS modification request thread (svl7)
0ldman replied to svl7's topic in General Notebook Discussions
I joined because of the BIOS modding here. If I understand this correctly, I have to have five posts over a week to get promoted to be allowed to download attachments? I've got a G73SW, looking at buying a PCIe to MXM adapter and I've got time on my hands... I'm going to avoid the blind flash if at all possible.- 477 replies
