MXM held such promise, too bad the GPU manufacturers didn't set a single standard for it and left it up to the notebook manufacturers and it has all but failed. I can get an RTX 2080 MXM card for my Clevo-based machine but that's the end of the line as it doesn't look like there will be any RTX Super MXM cards (or beyond).
@tabalugadragon3555

maybe they'll upgrade them with RTX 3000, who knows? the super cards probably didn't seem like a significant upgrade for them to launch a whole manufacturing line. The main issue with mxm is you need to have a thicker laptop, and most people don't wanna carry around a brick like that, but it definitely has it's use, I hope all laptops will be upgradeable in the future somehow, without sacrificing on thickness too much, as I don't need a super thin laptop either, I want to have all needed ports and a large enough battery, not to mention decent cooling.

Actually picked up an Tesla M6 for £72 ($86USD Roughly). Similar to the GTX 980m. Got the Nvidia heatsink for £8, another 8GB DDRL 1600 for £12 and picked up an i7 4700qm for £50.

I ve got really important question, do I need specific GTX980M to upgrade my m6700? I can see a lot of gtx980m from Alienware or MSI, I'm just not sure if that ll do the job.

Alienware GPUs are just re-labeled Dell GPUs, so they should work fine. GPUs from other OEMs can be hit-or-miss. They may work perfect, they may work perfect but not sleep properly, or they may not work at all. If you want to play it safe, Dell/Alienware GPUs are the best bet.

Hi! You just replace card and everything works okay?! No dancing around BIOS settings and updates??? Cause I know, that basic BIOS supports only quadro cards 3000,4000,5000 and Radeon Firepro m6000. Tell me more, cause tomorrow my basic GPU firepro 6000m was burned, and I need to replace it by something more powerful, u know. Thanks man!

I'm planning on upgrading my m6700 covet that currently has a k5000m to the 980m. I'm curious what thickness of thermal pads you used on yours with the additional modules.

In the case of my Dell Precision M6700, there is no GPU whitelist. That said, you can't just put any card in. Only Kepler and Maxwell based cards are compatible as well as a few AMD cards. Keep in mind, many other laptops DO have whitelists though.

aren't Pascal and Turing available in MXM slots? 🤔 I mean even a 1060 is faster than 980m, not to mention 1070 or 1080 which should had been available for mxm. I mean sure some games would experience CPU bottleneck but for graphically intense games it would perform incredibly well compared to 980m.

These are still monsters 12 years later. From the factory these arent that great for gaming but with a 980m you can still drive that 1080p displays with conservative settings, makes the fact thats its more of a luggable than a laptop justified in its GPU performance. Battery life, we dont talk about that.

Hi Griffen, I have an m6700 Covet Edition and my original FirePro m6000 died, so I bought this GTX 980m. I had no issues with the hardware switch thanks to your awesome video! However I can't get the drivers working. When I turn it on I have green and pink horizontal lines all over the screen in Windows. I've used the link you posted to modify the .inf file, but every time I tell the machine to disable driver signature enforcement, it restarts and gives me a black screen and I have to restart normally and can't complete the driver install. Any thoughts?

That sounds an awful lot like a dead GPU. Lines through the screen are almost always indicative of a bad graphics card.
@mattgalligos7138

Ha...that would figure that the brand new card I bought could be bad. I was going by a few articles saying it could be bad drivers. Especially since without installing modified drivers the current card shouldn't be functioning anyway. I may take the card back out and see if the lines still appear on integrated graphics. If they do I would think getting the card installed with the modified drivers would be my best option. Which is proving difficult!

Another cause might be having an incompatible GPU. What brand is the 980m? I've heard the HP brand 980m's have issues in the M6700. Alienware cards work the best in the M6700.
