@miragebg1981 thanks for the video. A few days ago, I have upgraded my hp 8770w from [FHD screen (UAO panel) + Quadro K3000 mobile] to [FHD DreamColor screen (lg LP173WF3-SLB3 panel + controller + cable 50pins) + Quadro P5000 mobile for hp zbook]. But...in the windows10 device manager 1. monitor is not recognized (windows 10 plugged it as non Plug and Play Generic panel) 2. graphic card is not recognized (windows 10 plugged it as microsoft basic display adapter with error 31 on P5000 device) 3. the screen works as basic Full HD screen with basic set of colors 4. the directX diagnostic tool can see the P5000 and the fact that microsoft driver is managing it 5. GPU-Z sees only the microsoft basic display adapter but its specs are the P5000s' I've uninstalled all related drivers (thru DDU process) and try to re-install them. But nVIDIA driver fails to install each time. My bios is the latest (2019 version) Did you face such a situation? Do you have an idea about the reasons why and how to solved it?
@miragebg1981: thanks to the link to the notebookreview forum. I found there everything needed to solve the issues: 1. windows boot partition MUST BE GPT 2. The bios boot HAVE to be set at 100% UEFI (mine was legacy bios) 3. clean fresh install of windows 10 from live usb key (also prepared to boot in UEFI mode) 4. nvidia Quadro P5000 mobile driver (.inf file) has to be updated manually with computer code of HP EliteBook 8770w matching with graphic card code.

Hi, how did You do the cooling in order to keep the card at around 80C , ist more then 100w , and the factory cooler only have 2 tiny heatpipes. Unfortunetly the notebookreview forum is closed at january i think , and i have a zotac mxm 1070 card, planning to build into something, but clevos are ec incompatible, alienwares are confirmed. Maybe it could work in precision ivy and better series, 8770w and better series?
dude, built this mental AF 8770W and I cannot for the life of me to get the AX200 to work. the original centrino card keeps dropping the connection under heavy load and I cannot stand it anymore. current build is at i7-3940, 32Gb 1600 Corsair Vengance, triple Samsung 870 EVO 500s. Need to ditch this stock wireless card ASAP
Alex Rich I am saying that 2060 MXM card do not exist. (Except Clevo , but this is not a standard MxM-B card and requires very specific cooling system and additional power plug, it can‘t be used in any other system than Clevo)
I've been using the 980m for a while now on my 8770w. I think it's time for an upgrade. Quick question. Do i requiere to have the DC screen for it? Also does the 8770 bios needs to be on a specific version for the card? Thanks in advance!
@@miragebg1981 looks like i might be screwed out of this one. cuz i currently had no luck finding a 8770w DC screen for mine. i find it pretty bogus that the DC screen is a obligatory requierement for the 1070 to fully work. guess i'll have to wait. i appreciate the insight my friend and thank you for sticking yourself out there doing these risky upgrades!
@@hokuto9978 Well for my 8770w i took almost no effort. I bought the card with the vbios for the HP already installed. All i had to do this time was just install it and windows automatically installs the nvidia drivers abd thats it. You can upgrade the drivers but you manually have to download it from geforce and install it from device manager. Previous to this card i once tried a 870m but that time i had to modify the drivers in order to install it.
No, 1080 needs additional power connection. The only one without is MSi 1080, but there you have all the elements at different places on the PCB and heavy custom heatsink mod would be a must.
@@miragebg1981 Thanks chad! What's the best place to talk about these laptops now that Notebook Review has closed? Have people moved to a specific forum?
Hello,quick question what do You modify to run 1070gtx (main bios or Vbios) - I bought that card brand new, install it but didn't run screen didn't start.THanks for help!!
The best way to tell is to install DC software from HP. If it installs correctly - you have a DC screen. Also there is a sticker on the plastic frame, saying “DreamColor”
Any way to get screen colour calibration working for 8770w? It used to work up until one of the Windows 7 (yes) updates. I have the relevant external screen-monitoring device (looks like a mouse, hangs over the screen) but the HP calibration app gives error message: "Unable to save open file DisplaysWithInternalCalibration.xml: Access is denied.." (even the error message looks half-baked!).
Hi, am wanting to upgrade my GPU on my elite book 8770 W . it has the i7 3720QM chip and a standard screen not a Dream Color display? GPU is the Nvidia Quadro K3000M and 16 meg. What options this there . Thanks

@@JeanMartinNainggolan without Dreamcolor screen, you can replace your K4000 with GTX980m/Quadro M5000m without any hassle - you already have the proper heatsink for nvidia GPUs, everything will work ok with the new M5000m
rizzochannel I have the original top DC assembly, so I haven’t installed anything. But to answer your question - yes, you need a cable from the motherboard to the colorboard behind the screen and another one from the colorboard to the panel itself. The most difficult parts to find are the colorboard and the cables...
Hello, I need a little advise with my 8770w upgrade. I bought the Quadro P5000 16GB Vram for a good price and I heard DC display is required for this GPU. It wont work with regular IPS display. My question is what else will I need besides a DC display to be able to get this card working in my laptop. What should i get? I cant wait for that. Thank you :)
@@miragebg1981 thanks, Is that color board integrated in DC display? I can buy DC display without 50 pin cable, so I will buy cable separately. Will that 50 pin cable fit the motherboard on the second side if normal display uses 40 pin connector?
If you have the entire DC assembly (lid, display, cables) , then the color board is integrated. If you buy the panel alone, you have to buy additionally the Color board and cables from the DC screen to color board and from color board to motherboard. But I don‘t remember the S/N of the parts, it‘s been a long time since I don‘t own the 8770W
Hi, no. Those GPUs don‘t have vbios chip on board and are normally looking for it in the system bios. I don‘t think they have proper output for the internal display either.
I have HP 8570w ... Which GPU is recommended to upgrade as of December 2019 ? ... Currently it has Quadro K1000M .. Best value for money that can fit in and trusted to be good ..
@@miragebg1981 Thanks a lot @miragebg1981 ... I am really naive in this field .. so if you can refer to me some forums to get instructions or youtube videos to upgrade the particular mentioned GPU and also where to buy the authentic GPU with required assembly accessories (if required like thermal paste, mount etc ) ..

@@onlyvik yes, the screens for 8760 and 8770 are interchangeable. The only difference is 8760W has light sensor. In order to get the full brightness working you will need to install the DC software for the 8760‘s version of DC. Your M4000 will work without problem with DC screen.

What should i pick, the p5000 or the 1070? I have a DC display. The 16gb sounds good but i havent found a definitive answer to which is best. Itll be a workstation/light game laptop. So both sound good. I found the p5000 for £380 and the 1070 for roughly the same price.
GTX 1070 is more powerful and clocks more. You can reach pretty much above P5200 performance level with it. I would choose 1070. 16GB vs 8GB vRam is not really something which would give you great benefits unless you do A LOT of CAD/CAM stuff. P5000 is limited hence its locked memory clock = 0 O/C capabilities...
hi I have a Hp 8770w first, would you tell me how should I know my laptop is Dream color or not and second, if my laptop is not Dream color which GPU I can Upgrade it please answer me .
If your screen has DreamColor sticker on the bazel and you are allowed to install the DC software - then you have a DreamColor screen. If you have the ordinary FullHD/HD+ non-DC screen, then you can upgrade max to GTX 980M/Quadro M5000M
@@miragebg1981 I had found Quadro P5200 instead of GTX 1070, but its fits nicely and works well. Also found out DDR3 1866mhz works with those notebooks. I will only upgrade when Zbook 16 G9 will get less expensive, performance is still very good. Nothing to be ashamed of, especially quality wise
@@miragebg1981 I dont know why my replies are being deleted, but answer is cooling mod. I think 8770w could take 150w with no problem with small heatsink mod. I have thread on notebooktalk forum. Cheers
Amazing. I was not surprised to see which user you were on the Notebook Review forums since you are probably the biggest fan of these laptops. Also have a 8770W and a 8760w with 32gb ram each and looking to upgrade the GPU on mine as well. How much did this GPU set you back and was the upgrade straightforward or you had to fiddle with the drivers?
Thanks for your words!:) The GPU was 500$ and the upgrade itself went smooth and straightforward, no heatsink mod is needed, just an .inf mod of the driver as usual.
@@miragebg1981 but why? Can you tell more about it or give me a link to the website where it is written? I want to replace the gpu only because the "old" cards are physically dying due to age. Please answer...
Hi, yes you can. You must switch to Win 10 pure UEFI if your 8770W has DreamColor screen. If not - you are fine to go with whatever OS you like/prefer. INF mod of the driver is a must though..
Hello, I am thinking about buying 3x EliteBook 8560w models (not 8570w) and all 3 systems have Dreamcolor, but all 3 systems also have a purple/pink display problem. Do you know if this is real damage or missing drivers? Can you tell me anything about this before I buy this pack of 3 laptops?
@miragebg1981 Good to hear back from you! I appreciate that you are still reading and responding many years later. This comment thread has more knowledge than some web forums. I have another question. The 8560w should accept the MXM-a GTX 1650, right? As long as it has Dreamcolor? I've seen people upgrade the 8560w and 8570w with a 965M but never the GTX 1650. I did it myself. I upgraded my previous 8570w with a 965M but I had to sell. I'm trying to collect a few Dreamcolor models and I would like to add the GTX 1650 to the 8560w. As far as I can tell the GTX 1650 is the most powerful MXM-a card that exists. Anything more powerful is MXM-b which cannot fit.
@@anthonybf2 I think 8X60W series were way too picky for GPU upgrades. I had problems with 980M on it whereas I had zero problems on 8X70W.. So , much better compatibility with 8X70W

Hi how much of this would work on an 8760w because plan to upgrade from a Quadro 3000 to a 980m, but could I upgrade to the same CPU or is it not worth it because I have an i7 2620m
8760W is bad for updates... Sandy bridge supports max 980M, but you need pure UEFI Win 10 to achieve this and disabled fast boot option in bios and OS. 2620m will bottleneck 980M. You need at least 2860QM.

With Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) tool. Very easy to do it. Not every unit is able to handle above 70Hz though. From three DC I had, first was the worse - gave only 64Hz stable, second gave 70Hz, my current one can do 85Hz, but everything above 75Hz switch bpc automatically to 8bit as the DP bandwidth is simply not enough to handle 10bit and 75+Hz.
Thanks for the information. I just can do up to 72 Hz because above this starts flickering. By the way what is your recommendation if after 72 Hz start flickering. Do you thinks I should decrease more or just setting it to the maximum stable which is 72 Hz.

Hi, most Chinese 1070 MXM (the one shown on the videoclip - the black Quadro’s PCB) will throttle to some degree as they are up to 125W max TDP. Now I have MSI 1070 and it rarely does as it reach its native 115W up to max 120W. My PSU is 230W, but I tried up to 330W and it still throttles. If you look at the FS graphic scores - everything is within the normal range as a performance.
miragebg1981 damn, am planing to buy one of these for mine AW18 but to keep it easy am going to take an plug and play mxm rather than an MSI one. But I hate throttling stuff. I thought that with an 125 TDP Vbios it would perform without issues , because an 115w tdp vbios it’s not the best choice. But, I saw that u have OCclocked the gpu so, I when it s at stock clocks it were throttling as well? Thanks bro
Allen Haeri if you flash the GPU with 8A vBios you have 0.900v max at 1860Mhz and the FPS are stone steady in games;) No more throttling. Same FS scores as well;)

I have DC and a 980m. Im thinking to make the upgrade to 1070 to extend the longevity of The Monster (aptly named, right?). My question is, are the latest drivers supported and properly working with DC? With the 980m, i am forced to run with older drivers which causes incompatiblities and inconsistencies.
The laptop itself is super garbage. I wanted to upgrade my 8760W and 8770W too until i realised the shits running 95 degrees on i7 2nd gen and no good i5 choices on third. Zbook 17 2 gen now, much more beautiful and looks atleast like a laptop, not like an old mechanical printer
Dookie Duuk this is a problem only on your side. My CPU barely reach 80C , even loaded at 100% together with the GPU. zBook 17 G2 is nowhere as upgradable as 8770W is. 1070 on zBook 17 G2 is not possible. The look of the both laptops is really a personal feeling and taste. I do prefer any day the sturdy look of the 8770W. zBook 17 G1/2 looks too much Acer-ish to me.
@@miragebg1981 would you tell me if 980m will work on the zbook and why 1070 not possible? Btw I have cleaned the 8760w, max 90 degrees now. But thats still alot. It has the 2860qm i7
Dookie Duuk 8760W is Sandy Bridge based laptop and it is known of being really hot platform. 8770W is way cooler as the 3.Gen Intel CPUs tends to be way cooler compared to the 2.Gen. As I said, zBooks are way less compatible with third party GPUs comparing to 8770W (8760W is bad as compatibility too). I’ve seen people trying to put 1070 in zbooks without luck. Besides , a DC screen is a must for Pascal GPUs, so if your screen is the normal FullHD, you have zero chance to make 1060/1070 working on your system. GTX 980m in zBook 17 G1/2 is hit or miss - 50/50, it might or it might not work. Depends on the vBios of the GPU, but generally said- the system bios of the zBooks is way too restricted to accept such an upgrades. Thats why the 8770W is still the king of the upgrades, accepts everything up to GTX 980m (with normal FullHD screen) and up to GTX 1070 (with DreamColor screen). Most probably will work with Quadros RTX 3000/4000/5000 too.
Dookie Duuk vBios itself is not the root of the problem but the system bios. Unfortunately there is no unlocked system bioses for HP as the engineers from HP lock it down. For the 8770W is also not possible to use unlocked/modded system bios but at least its restrictions are way less by default, compared to zBooks 17
hi Is it available to upgrade P4200 or P5200 on 8770w since you mentioned there is no suitable MXM RTX2060 right now As far as I know, P4200 and P5200 have vbios issues to work on 8770W...
Hi, most probably P4200/5200 won’t work on 8770W. The problem is that they don’t have soldered vBios chip on board, as they use the system bios of the notebook they are intended to work with. You will get yourself in trouble to buy separately vBios chip and manually solder it on the pcb and still there is no guarantee it will work.. Better get GTX 1070. It is just plug and play (only MSI GTX 1070 needs a bit grinding of the heatsink)

GTX 1070 is more powerful and clocks more. You can reach pretty much above P5200 performance level with it. I would choose 1070.
16GB vs 8GB vRam is not really something which would give you great benefits unless you do A LOT of CAD/CAM stuff. P5000 is limited hence its locked memory clock = 0 O/C capabilities...

miragebg1981 anyways yes the FS score performs as it should to be almost equal to an desktop one but it doesn’t “flicker” FPS in gaming?
Allen Haeri if you flash the GPU with 8A vBios you have 0.900v max at 1860Mhz and the FPS are stone steady in games;)
No more throttling. Same FS scores as well;)
miragebg1981 do you mean because it works at lower voltage in this way?
how did you change the ram speed to 1866MHz?
With Thaiphoon Burner.

Did you have to overclock the i7 3840qm?
You can’t OC the CPU on 8770W, locked up on bios level.
@@miragebg1981 I see, It look good. I have msi gt70 ond with unlock bios and I can overclock it if need to. But Ill leave it as is
How much wattage can the 8770W sustain on that MXM gpu? can 8770w handle 120W?
Yes, 125-130W without problem with peaks to 140-145W.

How with the Noise about GPU Heatsink,
Are There's Always Cool & Silent @miragebg1981
No, with 1070 you need the fans on max if you want to keep the GPU under 85C

Nice work ! I have this laptop. Can it run a GTX 1080 Mxm ?
TACTYLE 1080 needs an external power cable, besides it would pull out more than 150-170W and would need heavy cooling modifications of the heatsink to be able to hold the GPU thermally properly.
@@miragebg1981 The maximum adapter is 230watt based on the compatibility list on their official website. here you go: support.hp.com/id-en/document/c03436855
but is there anyway to use non-HP adapter that has more than 230watt power?
@@slickkslayeer yes, Dell‘s 330W adapter can do the job, but only one specific version of it : XM3C3/DA330PM111
The newer revision won‘t be recognized by 8770W.
I have DC and a 980m. Im thinking to make the upgrade to 1070 to extend the longevity of The Monster (aptly named, right?).
My question is, are the latest drivers supported and properly working with DC? With the 980m, i am forced to run with older drivers which causes incompatiblities and inconsistencies.
No, you have to make an EDID mod on the display to get the newest nvidia drivers work on DC and 1070
Hy miragebg1981 - i wrote you a question on forum.notebookreview.com. Can u help me with my specific issue? regards Chris
Yes, just check your PM on NBR
@@miragebg1981 Thank you very much!
Frère pardon aide moi j'ai un même PC (8770w) j'ai installé une GTX 1070mxm sar ne marche pas comme fait
Maybe your 8770W doesn't have DreamColor screen?
The laptop itself is super garbage. I wanted to upgrade my 8760W and 8770W too until i realised the shits running 95 degrees on i7 2nd gen and no good i5 choices on third. Zbook 17 2 gen now, much more beautiful and looks atleast like a laptop, not like an old mechanical printer
Dookie Duuk this is a problem only on your side. My CPU barely reach 80C , even loaded at 100% together with the GPU.
zBook 17 G2 is nowhere as upgradable as 8770W is. 1070 on zBook 17 G2 is not possible.
The look of the both laptops is really a personal feeling and taste. I do prefer any day the sturdy look of the 8770W. zBook 17 G1/2 looks too much Acer-ish to me.
@@miragebg1981 would you tell me if 980m will work on the zbook and why 1070 not possible? Btw I have cleaned the 8760w, max 90 degrees now. But thats still alot. It has the 2860qm i7
Dookie Duuk 8760W is Sandy Bridge based laptop and it is known of being really hot platform. 8770W is way cooler as the 3.Gen Intel CPUs tends to be way cooler compared to the 2.Gen.
As I said, zBooks are way less compatible with third party GPUs comparing to 8770W (8760W is bad as compatibility too).
I’ve seen people trying to put 1070 in zbooks without luck. Besides , a DC screen is a must for Pascal GPUs, so if your screen is the normal FullHD, you have zero chance to make 1060/1070 working on your system.
GTX 980m in zBook 17 G1/2 is hit or miss - 50/50, it might or it might not work. Depends on the vBios of the GPU, but generally said- the system bios of the zBooks is way too restricted to accept such an upgrades. Thats why the 8770W is still the king of the upgrades, accepts everything up to GTX 980m (with normal FullHD screen) and up to GTX 1070 (with DreamColor screen). Most probably will work with Quadros RTX 3000/4000/5000 too.
@@miragebg1981 is there way to mod vbios any way or thats it
Dookie Duuk vBios itself is not the root of the problem but the system bios. Unfortunately there is no unlocked system bioses for HP as the engineers from HP lock it down.
For the 8770W is also not possible to use unlocked/modded system bios but at least its restrictions are way less by default, compared to zBooks 17
Hi again since the forms have been shutdown what’s the best place to contact you on?
Hi! I’m on Notebooktalk.net
hi
Is it available to upgrade P4200 or P5200 on 8770w since you mentioned there is no suitable MXM RTX2060 right now
As far as I know, P4200 and P5200 have vbios issues to work on 8770W...
Hi, most probably P4200/5200 won’t work on 8770W. The problem is that they don’t have soldered vBios chip on board, as they use the system bios of the notebook they are intended to work with. You will get yourself in trouble to buy separately vBios chip and manually solder it on the pcb and still there is no guarantee it will work..
Better get GTX 1070. It is just plug and play (only MSI GTX 1070 needs a bit grinding of the heatsink)
@@miragebg1981 Thank you for your reply. I found someone in 51nb forum has successfully put P4200m on Zbook G1 with modified vbios. Then I went to Aliexpress, the seller told me there do have Px200m cards which they can do you a favor to solder vbios chip on pcb. Currently, they sold two types of Px200m, the blue (PCB)one is disassembled from HP devices and the black one is OEM. I think it is very likely to work on 8770W :) by the way, I am using p4000m now
