CaosHead Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 My question here is, the lenovo y500 can have a sli of gt650m and gt750m? or this laptop no support this type of sli?. of course only in case the gt750m ultrabay exist.Sorry, My english is bad xD.

greatben Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Somebody has already tried, when you put a 650m ultrabay card into a 750m Y500, the laptop won't startup, saying "you are not using an authorized graphics card, please remove it", or something like that. This is exactly the same behavior as when you plug in a different WLAN card. So there is a white list for graphics cards as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblin Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The GPUs are basically the same, with the differences being clock speed and the extra bit of voltage that is run through the gt750m to run at said clock speed. slv7 said he would do a vmod for the gt650m Y500s when he gets the chance, so it is only a matter of time until with some tweaking we'll have the same performance as the newer y500s.

AnandTech received a pre-release chip shot of the GT 750M and it was using a GK106 GPU core. They said GK208 and GK107 were also possibilities. Since some people have already received their refreshed Y400/Y500 I'm gonna ask them exactly which core is being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad2625 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I would suspect that even if the card did boot, that SLI would not work as from my expirence it seems to be pretty picky about using 2 of the same Video cards. Not like hybrid Crossfire of ATI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faarys Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I think it might not work since already experience combining difference Nvidia GPU but same series,but it failed lol,but this one it got same Core if Im not mistaken o.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time believing it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
