    HP Zbook G1 and G2 GPU MXM [GTX 980m] (really im pretty pissed)

    The Zbook -> 17 <- G1 will easily fit the card that is pictured on the left side. I didn't remove nothing from parts. From what I remember, the drive plugged back with no problems. DreamColor display, I'm not sure if 965 will work with it. You should have better luck with 1070. And P.S: I didn't...

    HP Zbook G1 and G2 GPU MXM [GTX 980m] (really im pretty pissed)

    Pascal cards will only work with eDP Getting the dreamcolor display + finding all cables is such a underpricing effort that It becomes more expensive for your wallet, time, nerves than buying new laptop with latest i7 and gtx gpu. MXM is an old technology that is too pricey. I customized my...

    You need DreamColor display, 980M is max for Zbook without DC screen.

    You seem to be such a fanboy, mind to come get under my laptop so I can enjoy this GTX 980M to the max.

    Thanks for explanation, but community is made for solving problems, not pointing out obvious things that aren't even worth having though about. I surely know I'm going off the HP standarts, you should point it out for people that have even 1070 installed on these laptops, not only me. Let's not...

    HP Zbook G1 and G2 GPU MXM [GTX 980m] (really im pretty pissed)

    No choice of the gpu mode in bios(new, i had to solder new bios chip for the zbook) Using UEFI CSM. Tried to set 3dmark app from new win10 settings + setting nvidia default in context menu + nvidia panel. The pipes are dual on all of my laptops. Can the problem be thermalpads, because i have...

    HP Zbook G1 and G2 GPU MXM [GTX 980m] (really im pretty pissed)

    So now card is in the Zbook G1. It's automatically in Hybride mode, when I play it's okay but when I run either 3Dmark or Unigine, It tells me 405mhz clock and that It's GTX 980M, the 3DMARK FIRESTRIKE score was 294 on GPU. Why that happens? While gaming I got these stats, High settings: The...

    The situation got resolved. I ordered another GPU, installed it. Modified .INF files and turned off Driver Signature Enforcment through safe mode and installed Nvidia control panel from microsoft store. The card works and having good temps along with good fps.

    Ergh, that wont fix the core problem tho, i can deal with DCH drivers but not the fan on 100%. Kinda weird there's no such problem up on the internet, well there was one guy, but as i told it was too long ago.

    It had no success*, that's what I meant. Tried that correctly though. I ought to guess, that could be the GPU or something missing on hardware part, that causes the driver install failure(new driver features, i do not know).

    HP Zbook G1 and G2 GPU MXM [GTX 980m] (really im pretty pissed)

    I've had done that way before. Be sure I'm decent with researching. So, the seller sent me a defective GPU. I'm super sure it would've worked on G1, G2 and also 8770w, if not the ?heat sensor? defectives. It's actually driving me crazy that I've broke my Zbook 17 G2 screen due to the...
