Did you manage to upgrade your laptop? We tested some P5000 in various MXM 3.0b based laptops but none of them is capable to support P5000. It seems that motherboard is not capable to provide sufficient power to get system started with P5000 installed.

 

did you test clevo p750dm2?

Nope -  VGA heatsinks of all current Clevo models are not compatible with any MXM 3.0 spec as Clevo cards are bigger. We tested in DM models namely P870DM and P770DM. We tested also in few of MSI machines namely MS16L3 and MS1782.

 

thanks for these infos

I know that MSI 16L13 uses also a MSI gtx1060 mxm 3.0b. Does P5000 work with tornado f5 ?

Nope it doesn't work with Tornado. We are going to test P2000 and P3000 soon - their spec is within the motherboard specs.

wow! those P2000/P3000 for tornado f5 are awesome

what about that p3000 for a p750dm?

 

Quote

Yes we will test them in all DM models. We are also going to launch in November / December standard size MXM 3.0b GTX 1070 and GTX 1080. Both cards do not require extra power source.

wow! these news are great!

 

MAX-Q is on-board GPU non upgradeable. P3000 that we are going to test is MXM 3.0b so it is modular and upgradeable - we support in Tornado F5 close to 20 different GPUs.
