Khenglish Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 hey guys,has some1 a idea if the r9 m295x tonga gpu will fit in the p170em?maybe that will be easier than the gtx780m/880mThe 8970m and m290x work fine in the P150EM and P170EM without a BIOS mod, so I suspect that the m295x would as well.The m295x looks like a very interesting card. Rumored specs are 2048 shaders and gcn 2.0. I would expect this to slightly beat the 780m and 880m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marecki_CLF Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I hope it will indeed be compatible with P1x0EM Clevos. I would rather spend ~$700 on a GPU upgrade than ~2000 on a new laptop. I think my current setup has enough CPU power, it could use a bit more GPU power though. A bit more GDDR5 wouldn't hurt either.Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiRoxX Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Very nice to hear you're still working on it! Like Marceki, I would much rater spend $700 on a gpu rather than 2000 on a new laptop. I really appreciate all the hard work you do for us Prema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterInTheUniverse Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I suppose M295X runs at least 50% faster than M290X...looking at that specs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selphie Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hi Prema,Do you know if Dell Geforce GTX 780m or 880m would install in Clevo P150EM ? I have your custom v2 bios installed, running Win7.I know that Dell AMD 7970M ain't supported from searching the forums... apparently it detects the temperatures wrongly in Clevo... is it the same with the Dell GTX cards?

Khenglish Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 @selphie Dell Nvidia 7xxm series cards are properly read by the clevo EC, but they have the same ACPI issues that Clevo and MSI cards have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard of this before and google didn't turn up anything substantial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khenglish Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hi Khenglish, could you clarify what is this ACPI issue exactly? I haven't heard of this before and google didn't turn up anything substantial.A poorly written system BIOS ACPI code is the reason why nvidia 7xxm series do not work in clevo EM series laptops.

Above you mention that Dell 7xxm series can be read by Clevo EC, and then 7xxm do not work in clevo EM? And that this is a Bios issue?@Prema Does your custom Bios fix this?

His current mod does not fix this but he is working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naruto_kun Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Sorry, just wonder, is Prema is working on the bios to get the GTX 7xx series working on Clevo EM series? Or this project has been stopped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingyr Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 He's still working on it, I'm sure he would have mentioned if the project was scrapped. It's tough work and he's a busy man it will come in due time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widezu69 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Prema is currently on holiday but I did ask him about this and he definitel hasn't forgotten about it. It is in the works. Just hold off a few more weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucart1984 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 So in the future EM series might work the 780M? Would it be worth the price to upgrade from the 680m to it? If the 780M gets support from his custom bios would it possible in the future to see the 800 series in the EM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give it some time. Prema will update us when he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningPL Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 and maybe GTX 980M run in EM or HM series ? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiRoxX Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Damn Prema, you're the best. I hope that 'maybe' is the 900 series like LightningPL referred to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr0bar Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'd love to upgrade my 680M to the 980M - and actually be able to upgrade my P170EM's GPU full-stop. This was the whole reason I got this machine in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_p Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 waiting for the price, I would really love too.Any idea of the possibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kothletino Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 It would be nice to hear anything about the progress of the modified BIOS for the EM series. I can understand that someone do something voluntarily (god bless you), but when I visit this thread, and I see absolutely nothing new, I feel that the project goes quietly into oblivion, which fills me with sadness.
