GameReady Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases, including Virtual Reality games. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is included for the best gameplay on day-1. Nvidia recently officially halted support for 32-bit windows, as well as Fermi-based graphics cards like GeForce GTX 480 and similar.

Nvidia Tech Support - the documentation states that OpenCL should be present.

My Precision M4800 has a Quadro K2100M in it, and I'm thinking of upgrading it to something else that's a bit more powerful. I looked around in some threads and found out that it's upgradeable to at least a dell-branded M2000M. I'm just checking if it's safe before I upgrade it and risk breaking something, being I haven't upgraded a laptop GPU before.

The most powerful GPU that will go into the M4800 would be the M2200. If you do any upgrades past what is in there right now, you will need to mod the drivers and disable "driver signature enforcement"

Unfortunately Windows Update decided that I needed a feature update and now I can't install any Nvidia drivers. I've tried disabling secure boot, bitlocker and driver security enforcement / nointegritychecks On (make sure you do it in that order or risk bitlocker recovery boot loop error 16000048 / 49 until manage-bde unlock/disable) and running both Dell and Nvidia packaged drivers. Ideally I need CUDA drivers to be able to run MXnet / VR / AI workloads but I'd settle for something that supports both monitors (like Ubuntu / Nouveau drivers) - assuming I can get my Xeon workstation with Gigabyte 1060 6Gb to run for more than 2 minutes before cutting out.

It seems that Windows 10 Pro is ransomware. The BIOS no longer recognises the GPU and the M4800 has dropped out of the feature update testing. You can't downgrade Windows 10 and you can't install / update the drivers. I'd like a >4Gb GPU laptop but can't seem to source one in London. Could do more development in the cloud, AWS / Azure and use a dinky XPS like we had sustainable finance / energy trading but my broadband only supports 9Mb/s upload which is a QoS bottleneck on the dual gigabit teaming NIC and OM3 fibre I have in the house. I'd use 5G Wireless WAN with an external antenna but my wife is having treatment for Her2 +ve [censored] and distrusts the focussed beams / wireless power levels and I live in a conservation area under the Heathrow 27R flight path.

I'd like some advice on this. I have a Precision M4800, latest A26 BIOS. I found on eBay an MXM Type A GTX 1050 card which I purchased. The seller said it was Dell compatible, and I was told that Dell Precisions do NOT have hardware whitelists. When I install it and try to boot, it gets to the BIOS and then halts at a black screen. No POST codes no nothing. When I reinstert the FirePro M5100 it came with everything magically works again. This happens regardless if switchable graphics is on or off. Can anyone give any advice? I've already purchased the card because I was assured it would work. Its such a niche item I doubt I'll be able to resell it easily.

Do you need to force install of the driver prior to physically installing the graphics card? I recently installed an M2000M in my Dell M4800, but only got a black screen upon start-up. I could not see the dell icon, enter safe mode or bios, etc. Definitely cannot progress far enough into Windows to install the modified driver. The graphics card was a Dell according to the seller, but I have no way to confirm. No issues with the PC after reinstalling the K2100M. Running Windows 7 with latest nvidia drivers.

Update: Black screen was due to switchable graphics being disabled. Enabled switchable graphics and reinstalled M2000M; however, Windows does not recognize the model of card. Device Manager shows additional Standard VGA Graphics Adapter in its place with Code 10 Error. Modified driver will not install with 'Have Disk' method. Throws 'incompatible with Windows version' error despite most definitely being the correct driver for Windows 7-64.

Note: I don't like 3rd Party driver tools as you'll mess up your system over time (high latency due to non-OEM drivers means incremental micro-incompatabilities) but I have seen a few times that DriverBooster has an ability to recognise an otherwise unrecognised GPU and find a working driver when normal routes fail

Otherwise you might need to try driver-modding which is whole can of worms but might do the job e.g. I have successfully used (modified) Dell OEM Alienware drivers for the GTX965M with my Precision 7510

On loud fans, I have found Dell powerplans / power software and Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework (DTPF) drivers can affect this ... as my Dell 7510 with a GTX965M runs hot gaming (80-85C oveclocked)

The fan noise was reduced removing anything Dell-related and installing earlier Intel DTPF drivers, this without an impact on temperature. DTPF 8.1 driver for me runs the CPU noticeably (10C) cooler at load and far less "peaky" than anything 8.2/8.3+ that I have found

You can use an external monitor to view with the GPU or you will have to enable OPTIMUS in the bios, what I did, and I'm using Windows 10. If you enable optimus it will let you see your M4700 screen on your Integrated GPU and you can go into NVidia 3D settings and select which program, you want to use with the m2200 gpu, and it will work on your laptop screen just fine. This actually works out great because windows itself and other programs won't use your GPU and you will have all of the graphics memory available for the dedicated programs. It's 2023 and I have this setup and I can game on mine. Paid $150 for the laptop and $99 for the GPU. I'm currently playing Farcry6 on medium settings, so that's great. The battery won't last 10 minutes using the GPU, but you can run the M4700 as normal when not using the apps you select for the m2200. I did have to download some Nvidia drivers, the latest for the Dell m4700 should work. Version 516.25 is the one I'm using. Should work the same on the 4800.

I have a Dell M4700 and I installed a M2200 GPU in mine. I ran into the problem of the Nvidia drivers not working on it. I downloaded a different driver version, some of them will work. I'm using version 516.25. I turned a Dell M4700 into a decent gaming laptop for $250 bucks. I'm also using Windows 10. It was a headache, because I couldn't find any help doing this online, but figured it out. I wanted to share it with you all because it seems you are all having similar issues.

Hi do you happen to know if something like this can be done with an Asus K50IJ with a core 2 duo t9300 and exp gdc with an GTX 750ti 2gb

i only have 4gb of ram but i just want to play stuff like tf2,slime rancher or just any game from this decade at 60 fps

@truth94 Regarding the 368.81 drivers from Nvidia, there is no need to Mod it to accept since the "nv_dispi.inf" readily accepts GTX 1060 6GB since it already has the code for 1060 6GB as "%NVIDIA_DEV.1C03% = Section062, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1C03" where "NVIDIA_DEV.1C03 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB"

Can you please check and confirm since I downloaded the 368.81 from "Nvidia" and "Guru3d" a month ago and it already had the same.

I also have a ASUS, a G73SW to be specific same processor, mPCIe slot on an unmodded BIOS with out an external monitor can you please confirm the following:

1. Do you need to Mod your 368.81 drivers for GTX 1060 since it already supports the same?

2. Where did you got the Modded bios for your laptop? here ?

3. Did you use the egpu-setup-13x ?

4. Did you tried your GTX 1060 on the laptop's original screen and did it worked?

5. Is your mPCIe connection slot hot plug enabled probably by the Moded BIOS and no whitelist in the PCIe slot.

Hi, there are many things to check if your system can accept an egpu or not, mPCIe port whitelisted or not, Bios friendly with egpu or not... sorry but i cant tell you if this is possible with your laptop, ive done my setup because i've seen other people with the same laptop doing the thing... ?

1- i have a 1060 3GB, i might not remember well but i think the 368.81 had the 1060 6Gb but not the 3GB version

2- I got it from a youtube video (see my previous post)

3- No, the Modified Bios allowed me to do the same

4- No, when i received all my stuff, i removed the motherboard from the chassis, so no internal screen for me ^^ But there is no reason it shouldnt work if the gpu is detected and fully installed

5- Yes, i enabled the Hot Plug on my mPCIe slot in the Bios.
