Talking with Nvidia tech, they said never use a driver that old or generic. When I talked to their tech support last year when I was first looking into the card issue, they said it was Nvidia's fault for not making a current driver and had me install a generic Windows driver from 2005. I reinstalled the 2021 version, and now it's working again with the usual card warnings, but something still isn't quite up to par from before. Couldn't get 2022 to run most of the time, and if it finally did, couldn't open any edits. I love my M6800 and it's gone through a lot the last few years, but I've hit two limitations that have caused me to debate if I need to start looking for a newer model.Īdobe has been giving me warnings about the graphics cards (Quadro and Intel) not being supported since 2019, and when they did a forced upgrade from their 2021 version I was using a few month back into 2022, it bricked their program on my 6800. All had Quadro cards which I also read was the best option for editing. I started getting these when I read they were the best option so I could do the video editing, but was always buying a few years prior due to budget when I saw a bargain I could afford. Before that I think I had the M6400 (I do miss the jog shuttle trackpad). Prior to that I used an M6600, I still have it, for many years and upgraded the I7 CPU to an Extreme, RAM, camera, finger scan, etc to trick it out as much as I could from searches I did back then. New guy to the forum here, but I've had an M6800 for the last 4 years and have loved it and just stumbled on this thread doing a search on options to extend it's usefulness. What do you think? Should I start making savings for the P4000?įlashing the bios will be the only downside for me because I don't have any experience doing so and to be honest it makes me feel a bit nervous. Using optimus is not a problem for me but if I get that card and it works without problems the new goal will be updating the mainboard to the eDP version. This is a really useful info! Now you opened up new possibilities for me! I found a P4000 for 280$ listed as P/N 900-6G418-0000-000, I don't have that much money right now but now I'm seriously considering that GPU. The only downside of running a Pascal card on your setup is your LVDS screen, you MUST use optimus/switchable graphics so you might not get the full potential of your card on Internal display (mainly in higher fps games, below 60fps it's like 55 vs 60fps), on the other hand it should be fine on external display. The M6700 is really similar to the M6800 so you can read this : ARCTIC TP-2 are really decent and cheap thermal pads while being not that hard □Īlso as I think about it, depending where you live, you can get cheap enough Quadro P3000/P4000 that are similar to 970M~980M for the P3000 and better than a 980M for the P4000 while consuming about 50W and 80W in gaming respectively (it's really easy to cool them and because of the temp it should last longer), the P5000 is a GTX 1070 level of performance but it does draw above 110w and is really expensive. You should order 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm pads and try it, because it not only depends on thickness but on it's hardness too, also as I said earlier some cards don't use the same height for their coil (R22), it's a real nightmare to be honest.
