Unfortunately, it's pretty well documented in various threads here that the M6600 can't be upgraded with any NVIDIA GPU newer than the Fermi series. He is roughly 3-5 times faster on most tests.Īnyone (preferably in Australia) like to buy an M3000M, suitable for a 7710? -) Some guy running a M3000M (not in a Precision laptop though): How much better is an M3000M than my existing 3000M anyway?Ĭompare my Quadro 3000M OpenCL performance results at with That was using phoenix tool 2.56: EFI/Insyde Bios (dell HDR) Unknown video vendor.AMD Corp.Intel Corp.NVidia Corp.AMD FirePro M6100 Mobility.AMD FirePro M5950 Mobility.AMD FirePro M8900 Mobility.ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6330.ATI Mobility Radeon HD 530v.Intel HD Graphics.Intel GMA HD.Intel GM45 Graphics.Unknown video card.NVIDIA Quadro 1000M.NVIDIA Quadro 2000M.NVIDIA Quadro 3000M.NVIDIA Quadro 4000M.NVIDIA Quadro 5010M.NVIDIA N12P-NS2.NVIDIA N12P-NS.NVIDIA N12M-NS.NVIDIA Quadro FX1800M GLM4.NVIDIA Quadro FX880M GLM.NVIDIA NVS 3100M.NVIDIA Quadro FX 380M.NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M.NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700M.NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M.NVIDIA Quardo FX 1600M.NVI Opening the bios with andy's phoenix tools, than after the Dump map appears, opening a specific rom with hxd and seeing the following listing contains a useful M6600 video card whitelist, obtained as follows: nvflash (ran from dos) didn't list any card (maybe the last dos version is too old for Maxwell? I didn't check) BIOS shows unknown video card, but did detect/report 4GB kernel panic booting Linux (with or without AMT)
Intel Management & Security error 207 (so I turned AMT off, and the error went away) When I booted my M6600 with the M3000M in it, I observed:
#Nvidia n12p ns2 mod#
Does anybody have any ideas to get around this / force it to accept a bios update - maybe using the bios mod tool referenced below? So I tried this, but there's a check in the flashing process, which says you can't update M6600 with an M6700 bios.
#Nvidia n12p ns2 install#
I thought it might work if I could install an M6700 or M6800 bios on the M6700, since these are newer.

My question is whether or not the onboard graphics are capable of running a fourth external monitor, since the card is not being used to drive the native laptop display when the lid is closed? There is nothing published by Lenovo to say that this can work, but I am wondering if there is some setting or BIOS tweak that would enable this functionality. For my home setup, I typically keep the laptop & docking station out of site in a desk cabinet with the lid closed and have a triple monitor setup on my desk.
#Nvidia n12p ns2 plus#
I have three external monitors running(Hanns-G HH251 with 1 of 2 Dell P2210H's in portrait mode on either side) running, plus the native laptop display in a laptop stand at work, and I am happy to say that everything works as advertised. I recently purchased a Lenovo ThinkPad T420s (4171-6JU) with dedicated 1GB NVIDIA N12P-NS2 graphics after reading about support for quad monitor setups using the Advanced ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 (4338-10U), which I also purchased. I have searched the forums and gathered some great information about how folks have added multiple monitors to their systems, but I did not find an answer to my question.
