Dear Members,

I just want to create this Topic to list all laptop systems supporting (2X) Desktop GTX 980 SLI, and all information related to them, technical, pricing and reviews. In the same time, it will help me and other respected members to decide which one should we buy.

 

1- MSI GT80S Titan Skylake, SLI GTX980 Desktop GPU

Other laptops without mods can't run it ? Like P570WM or P870DM ? At least P870DM should be ok to run GTX 980 Mobile in SLI

We are waiting for all brands to innocence supporting desktop SLI's, no one except MSI until now.  There are many concerns about it, like power consumption and performance limitations.

I dont get why they are still trying to make them slim. When going for maximum performance, thats the last thing on anyones mind. I would get one even if it were twice as thick.

As far as I know all above mentioned notebooks are somewhat crippled, because of insufficient power supply.

 

- MSI GT80S: is suffering from only accepting ONE 330W power brick which results in battery draining as additional power source to sustain the components power draw under heavy load. Not so good imo, cause you aren't able to unleash the full potential of the 980's.

 

- Asus ROG GX800: "Same" here! As long it is docked, it should be fine, but as soon as you want it portable the same as MSI's Titan: Only one power brick with restrictions in power Management, which makes it rather useless as beeing a "notebook".

 

Would love to see some SLI Pascal power in the P570WM! Well, let's see, if MXM 3.0b will become obsolete or not....

      Hello, as the title states, I would be very happy if someone could give me the link to the mod, apart from that, what version should I install?, as I've seen that some models have v1 and v2.
      My other questions are: what do I have to do to install a new GPU?, (9xx series)
      And what mods do I have to use to have a 10x0 series (and which are compatible).
      I have the Clevo P150SM(model)/P150SM-A(product code) (2 models on the sticker) with stock bios (it says copyright 2012, so I guess it's the 1st version) with a 4710MQ and 870M.
       
      I would be very pleased if someone could hand me the link.
      Many thanks in advance.

      Hi,
      I have an old Dell Alienware M17R3 (2011 built, “new”A12 Bios). Back in 2014 my GTX580M broke, so I decided to put in a GTX680M, which lasted till recently. Now I’m stuck again with 8 beeps and the LCD not turning on. When I remove the card and switch the laptop on, the LCD at least turns on, so I guess it’s a faulty GTX680M. Now...back then people suggested not to go for a GTX580M due to bad thermal values, but as I’m not really using the Laptop for gaming anymore, wouldn’t a GTX480M possibly be a better alternative that lasts even longer? I heard that GTX700M’s could fit in as well, but people reported non fixable sound issues plus thermal issues. Any ideas?

      Hi All
       
      I've been searching all over the internet and these forums in particular and I just can't seem to get any answers regarding GPU upgrades for the Clevo P150HM. Neither can I get any real info on the difference between the HM and the EM model - the EM seems to be the much more talked about model.
       
      Anyway, my current GTX 580M is causing a black screen very occasionally and I decided to purchase a used GTX 980M (N16E-GX-A1) from aliexpress as a replacement.
      The seller isn't giving me much information and I am unsure if they've flashed the vbios on this card themselves, regardless of that I cannot seem to find a custom BIOS for this laptop either, the closest I found is P150EM_17_11_PM_v2 which is obviously for a EM not a HM model, again I don't know much about these two models and if attempting a flash with that BIOS will brick my laptop.
       
      The 980M is the correct form factor, it fits in perfectly and even warms up when I turn the laptop on, I can see the POST screen display but then it simply maxes the fans and beeps out until it shuts down. It would seem to be a pretty clear indication of incompatibility.
       
      Model: Clevo P150HM
      MB Series: P150HMx
      BIOS Revision: 1.01.14
      KBC/EC Firmware Revision: 1.00.12
      Another version number listed (not sure for what): 2.10.1208
       
      I understand this is both an old subject and an even older laptop, but I would be extremely thankful for any help available and I am willing to drill down to create my own custom BIOS if necessary but I just need a point in the right direction.
       
      Failing all that, its not the end of the world as they've already agreed to a return and refund if I can't figure this out.
       
      Thank you.
