Dell Precision M6700 : Nvidia Turing (RTX) card discussion thread

Okay, I thought it was running at 945MHz in load.
Can you provide a high resolution top view picture of the card with a ruller on the side ? so we can measure the difference in hole location with a standard mxm card ?
Like pascal quadro card you can't overclock it, right ?

 

Man, super interesting. If there is a good solution for the heatsink, I might have to get one.

I overlaid the two cards (RTX 4000 = blue, M5000M = green) to compare screw positions. Not perfect, but close enough to get the picture. Not even the ones around the die match? Yuck.



Kind of doubt you'll be able to overclock it. When I tried P5000, it was constantly hitting the power limit. Quadro cards (since Maxwell at least) have been really strict about adhering to the power limit.

 

High resolution here is not possible. Only up to 2MB. And it’s not overclockable

 

There are 2 options for the Heatsink. First is to drill new holes for the core or second to grind the side, but then the RAM is not fully covered.

 

Does the same X-bracket fit properly?

 

Every Nvidia X-Bracket fits properly

 

You didn't have to mod the chassis at all? Just a bit tight to get the card installed?

 

Yes, only a bit tight. I think next week when I have my Dremel back I get it on.

 

I think you should be more worried about mosfet cooling, for vram use thick thermal pads if needed, vram doesn't produce so much heat, also if you put thermal pads on the back of the card it should be fine for vram.
Drilling new hole would be the best idea, as for keeping the card in place, I think you could stick/glue a rubber "cube" on the motherboard then screw a screw into the rubber "cube", it would be enough to keep the card "down" in the laptop, then you should cut old screw hole (which could cause short circuit).

But still, by seeing the price on ebay, that is 600€ for the RTX3000 and 750€ for the RTX4000, I think the RTX4000 is a better choice, more core, more ram and higher frequency, it seems to be about 25% faster than the RTX3000 according to techpowerup specs, so it should be about 50% faster than my already "fast" P4000

 

Which approach are you doing? Are you planning to drill holes for the heatsink?
