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

for exemple only early/ES/QS vbios works on the M6700 with pascal card

 

Then I have to post here my VBios. Maybe someone with a newer VBios with an RTX 3000 can use it.

 

There is an option in GPU-Z to post it right to TechPowerUp's database which would be great.

I'm really tempted but I decided that I'm not going to pursue this upgrade. It's a pretty steep cost considering that I'm already looking at a full system refresh in about two years. I'd rather save the cash for that.
Really glad to hear that RTX GPUs are working in this system, though... Yet another opportunity to extend its life.

 

Here is what is to do for the Heatpipe. I did the decision to not drill new holes. Only to cut a little bit off from the side. Because the RAM will be also covered. Also the Heatpipe which is cooled by the cpu cooler has to be modified a little bit. Otherwise the card is under pressure. Now I have a little dent. But I think that is also good enough.

 

And here

 

but you can't do it like that, because fin at the end of each heatpipe will be in collision with the chassis

 

A little bit bending is possible. I will test it

 

BTW: what is the difference between AMD and NVidia Heatsink?

 

AMD cards of the era had a GPU die that was "less tall" than the NVIDIA one, so the AMD heatsink has the copper plate that contacts the die protruding out a bit more.

 

Ok, so it’s not an advantage to buy an AMD Heatsink.
