Fulgore I saw your post on another channel about you putting a gtx 980m in your 8770w. My brother has the 8760w with the 4000m, 32gb, and the 2820q core i7, as far as I know the 4000m is at the same 100 TDP as the gtx 980m. Was it as simple as dropping it in and loading the 980m drivers? Anyway thanks for putting your neck out and trying this even though some say its not possible and giving life to a old laptop.

You can add a 5tb hard drive to these laptops and it has 32gb of ram. Mine is hp 8760w. And a SSD for the boot. Might fit a little bit tight with the 5tb hhd.
a couple years ago, I mustered the courage to buy a 980m from aliexpress. Can confirm that it works with an 8770w. It runs super hot under even medium load, but windows 10 will automatically configure the 980m for use. All you gotta do is stick the 980m into the mxm slot, boot your 8770w, wait for windows to find and install the nvidia driver, and you're good to go.
Since people keep asking if their cheap Wal-Mart laptop can have the GPU upgraded: Does your laptop use MXM GPUs? If so, it's upgradable. If not, it's likely soldered onto the laptop or it uses some custom GPU slot. If you own a newer laptop with Thunderbolt you can use an EGPU if you have money to blow, but you won't be able to use it "on the go" unless you lug the GPU with you.
Omg the cooling design in your laptop is so much better than my newly bought acer i5 8250u and mx150. My laptop temp is crazy high. It only has 1 single heat pipe that runs througgh both cpu and gpu which is a bad idea
@Firez I had a Compaq cq57-339wm and the celeron cpu was actually in a socket. Was able to put in an i5-2450m and a sata 3 samsung 840 pro and suddenly a $100 laptop became pretty fast! 8 years later and my sister is still using it as her school computer
Rhem TV almost all Lenovo laptop have upgradable cpu. It’s more restrictive then a pc. But I upgraded couple laptops cpu from Lenovo, they usually give you compatibility sheet if your search it up. They also work really well with external graphics card. My own personal Lenovo laptop has i7-3630qm which is decent, but going upgrade to a i7 3940xm. It’s also Pair with rx570 8gb runs any modern game on highest setting for around 40-70 fps. Be surprise laptops especially Lenovo are pretty easy and cheap to upgrade.
Hummm can we just talk about the fact that he first made benchmarks with Windows and at the end he did benchmark with Ubuntu, so, this for sure could help in the first place, and the games you used was so easy to run I don't even understand why you would make a video like that. I'm chocked.
970m is slightly better than a 1050Ti desktop card but not much. Years ago I upgraded my msi laptop with a 970m from a 770m but I paid $190 usd for it.
I had one which I sold to upgrade to Zbook 17 G4. I am regretting the move, the 8770w is built like a tank, very solid and they input keys are also fairly still which adds to their toughness. If you still have the 8770w you can use them for good 10 more years at least, they are very futureproof, easy to upgrade and extremely tough and durable machines.
@@darthtrolleus1947 Sorry mate, no idea, I normally utilize professionals for any issues that I have with laptops, am more comfortable troubleshooting/maintenance and upgrade of PCs. In my opinion it would be worth the time and money to fix your 8770w, Cheers.
@@darthtrolleus1947 Just share my experience, as I had split soft drink on the keyboard which leaked in and damaged the motherboard. I ordered a replacement motherboard on ebay which fixed the issue.

After using a beast like 8770w the modern fragile and ultra portable laptops of today seem like toys, pardon the pun mate.
@@darthtrolleus1947 Check the price of the premium 8770w close to your specs on ebay mate, you will be surprised the actual value that it still holds. In my opinion it is worth forking out your extra bucks.
okay what i dont understand is why a bench mark that looks like it's straight out of 2004 is only running at 30fps on a 970 class gpu. M or not i thought it would be wayyyyy more capable than that
the old gtx m cards are only about 40% as strong as the big versions. the gtx 10XX series only is 5% weaker in laptops, which made a big impact, coming from a gtx960m to a gtx1060 in laptops
MrMarans no. The 970m was about 70%+ of the desktop. I had a 970m. And I have desktop 970 too. It’s just that old benchmarks on newer cards perform lowly. He should of tested firestrike
Could you list the actual part number of the graphics card you got on eBay...I would like to do this with my 8770w....thank you for the video and the info!
@@stevegibson157 I'm not sure haha. I plan on doing this upgrade myself next year. There is a thread about it at forum.notebookreview.com/threads/hp-elitebook-8770w-and-970m-6gb-and-980m-8gb-they-work.786791/
Yes, funny that ASRock offers DeskMini Barebones with MXM Slot: www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/DeskMini%20GTX%20(Z390)/index.us.asp But as you can see, MXM cards aren't officially available for consumers just a few spare parts from repair shops taken out of dead notebooks, so instead I'd rather get a really small ITX Case like the DAN Cases A4-SFX v3, Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Shift [X] or Cryorig Taku where I can put in a normal Graphics Card with a maximum length of 250-300mm.
If your laptop has a 720M it may be theoretically possible seeing as it is an MXM chip but i dont have any diagrams on hand to see if that really is the case. Diagrams aside I'd say it isn't worth it even if it were possible. The laptop has a power supply of 65W and that suits the 720m just fine as it, along with the cpu only has a TDP of ~48W. If you upgrade to a 740m you can pull it off as it requires the same amount of power but stretching for a 750m (which has been below minimum requirements since 2016) will require 65w and you've already reached the theoretical maximum your power supply can provide. I'd say your only two options are: 1: Sacrifice mobility and invest in a discrete desktop GPU and a mini pcie eGPU like the eXP GDC Beast. This setup will occupy your WLAN and you may need to use a USB WLAN card instead to stay connected to the internet if you opt to go down this router. 2: Sell your laptop and buy a new one. There are some affordable laptops out there with GT 1050s and 1050Tis that will outperform your setup for less than $700US.
If your laptop has a WiFi card or any other PCI card which can be removed you can put an eGPU. Almost every laptop has this but some require a custom BIOS
Gotta say I had the idea to upgrade a laptop I had Push it to the limit I maxed out the CPU, maxed out the ram, modified the GPU bios to run on a higher voltage When I saw the price of buying the max GPU that would fit it was waaaay too much..I mean hundreads of dollars for an out of date, underpowered, lack luster card...so instead I picked up an external GPU dock, a desktop GPU, and a monitor The benchmark results were so much higher than the built in GPU could ever hope to get, if you're willing to drop that kind of money on a GPU upgrade you should look into external graphics
I have the same laptop i want to upgrade it to 4gb Nvidia graphic card can you please reply me with the best link to buy it in same size but 4gb..now i have 2gb graphic card in it of Nvidia

A GTX 1050 TI with a core i5 7th or 8th gen cpu laptop can be bought for around 500 dollars nowadays... Just buy one of those and add an NVMe boot drive plus another stick of ram and then boom you have more upgrade paths than before due to it being over a more widespread connection than the MXM cards (if you don't get an ultrabook or something with proprietary connections)
I think that laptops with MXM discrete GPU could have longer service life with swappable GPU. I wonder if this laptop can work using its iGPU if there is no MXM card installed.
I just got an HP 14 dk1032wm and the graphics card is a Ryzen 3 and can't be changed but isn't there a way to change it still and just void any warranty?
ok, it s runnable but then the power supply you got from the low end model may not be able to let the new GPU run at its optimal performance. Second, is the termal for the laptop originally may not be enough for the new GPU. These are the issue you need to research before buying one. if the original config of this laptop only difference is the GPU, then it will be fine, but if it is not, you will be have some troubles there.
Wrong. Runs great, the cooling solution of 8770W is rated 100W TDP, this 970m is 75W, so no problem at all. I am running M5000M on my 8770W and it runs 1185Mhz OC full speed all the time and it barely hits 95W TDP and runs at 66-69C.
Dude, thanks for sharing this, but I like to put a few comments. 1. What was original GPU? I think you never mentioned. 2. Lighting dude! You don't need too expensive light boxes. Just buy a more powerful light bulb or use a led flashlight. 3. Unscrewing bolts with one hand and taking video it is hardcore dude :) I was terrified that you accidentally damage some components on PCB.
I think you can give it a quadro p4000-5200 even that’s a 16gb gpu as an owner of zbook 17 g1-2 I guarantee it make sure p4200-5200 have their bios chips
I would like to upgrade my (same model) laptop, but prices are pain in the ass.... it is possible to buy used laptop already with better gpu, same as better cpu... 100 bucks should be average price for 5-6 years old gpu. i am thinkick about pci express card egpu upgrade, but there are so little success storis on internet about our models, especially without external monitor

a couple years ago, I mustered the courage to buy a 980m from aliexpress. Can confirm that it works with an 8770w. It runs super hot under even medium load, but windows 10 will automatically configure the 980m for use. All you gotta do is stick the 980m into the mxm slot, boot your 8770w, wait for windows to find and install the nvidia driver, and you're good to go.
Since people keep asking if their cheap Wal-Mart laptop can have the GPU upgraded: Does your laptop use MXM GPUs? If so, it's upgradable. If not, it's likely soldered onto the laptop or it uses some custom GPU slot. If you own a newer laptop with Thunderbolt you can use an EGPU if you have money to blow, but you won't be able to use it "on the go" unless you lug the GPU with you.
afaik, it is soldered on the motherboard, so no mxm for those laptops

What's mxm gpu? Because I have a mx150
Omg the cooling design in your laptop is so much better than my newly bought acer i5 8250u and mx150. My laptop temp is crazy high. It only has 1 single heat pipe that runs througgh both cpu and gpu which is a bad idea
time for the cpu to bottleneck the gpu
😂😂🤣lol btw can we replace cpu also in laptop like we did in desktop??
Light yagami no we can't 😂😂
@Firez I had a Compaq cq57-339wm and the celeron cpu was actually in a socket. Was able to put in an i5-2450m and a sata 3 samsung 840 pro and suddenly a $100 laptop became pretty fast! 8 years later and my sister is still using it as her school computer
Rhem TV almost all Lenovo laptop have upgradable cpu. It’s more restrictive then a pc. But I upgraded couple laptops cpu from Lenovo, they usually give you compatibility sheet if your search it up. They also work really well with external graphics card. My own personal Lenovo laptop has i7-3630qm which is decent, but going upgrade to a i7 3940xm. It’s also Pair with rx570 8gb runs any modern game on highest setting for around 40-70 fps. Be surprise laptops especially Lenovo are pretty easy and cheap to upgrade.
It's doesn't bottleneck! (surprisingly) check here: thebottlenecker.com/calculator
Hummm can we just talk about the fact that he first made benchmarks with Windows and at the end he did benchmark with Ubuntu, so, this for sure could help in the first place, and the games you used was so easy to run I don't even understand why you would make a video like that. I'm chocked.
A 970m in 2018...For a couple hundred dollars. Oh boy.
Oh boy oo boy. gtx 970 desktop cost 120 150 used XD
ofc desktop gpu's will be higher price lol...
he spent 300 on this laptop "upgrade" to get 1050 levels of performance
@The Ice W1tch "M" laptop GPU's are much worse than desktop GPU's.
970m is slightly better than a 1050Ti desktop card but not much.
Years ago I upgraded my msi laptop with a 970m from a 770m but I paid $190 usd for it.
to fix overheat all you need is a fan
aah the good old day where this was a thing.
I had one which I sold to upgrade to Zbook 17 G4.
I am regretting the move, the 8770w is built like a tank, very solid and they input keys are also fairly still which adds to their toughness.
If you still have the 8770w you can use them for good 10 more years at least, they are very futureproof, easy to upgrade and extremely tough and durable machines.
@@darthtrolleus1947 Sorry mate, no idea, I normally utilize professionals for any issues that I have with laptops, am more comfortable troubleshooting/maintenance and upgrade of PCs.
In my opinion it would be worth the time and money to fix your 8770w, Cheers.
@@darthtrolleus1947 Just share my experience, as I had split soft drink on the keyboard which leaked in and damaged the motherboard. I ordered a replacement motherboard on ebay which fixed the issue.
My point being with i7 and Dreamcolor and other other power specs it is worth your time and effort to upgrade.
After using a beast like 8770w the modern fragile and ultra portable laptops of today seem like toys, pardon the pun mate.
@@darthtrolleus1947 Check the price of the premium 8770w close to your specs on ebay mate, you will be surprised the actual value that it still holds.
In my opinion it is worth forking out your extra bucks.
Wat about the power supply?
Edit:Lol stop arguing im just saying my oppinion
all MXM cards from 970m and below cannot exceed 100W and both seem to have TDPs of 100w so no problems there.,
Oh yeah yeah

@Neckslit You can't insert a desktop gpu to a laptop though... Upgrading a laptop is not a really great idea either,
Get rid of that disk drive and you've got yourself a giant amount of space for a custom cooling solution.
Think you could put a GTX 1060 MXM GPU?
Gentle is an understatement
okay what i dont understand is why a bench mark that looks like it's straight out of 2004 is only running at 30fps on a 970 class gpu. M or not i thought it would be wayyyyy more capable than that
the old gtx m cards are only about 40% as strong as the big versions. the gtx 10XX series only is 5% weaker in laptops, which made a big impact, coming from a gtx960m to a gtx1060 in laptops
MrMarans no. The 970m was about 70%+ of the desktop. I had a 970m. And I have desktop 970 too. It’s just that old benchmarks on newer cards perform lowly. He should of tested firestrike

1:32 300 bucks for a 970m? Damn mxm cards are pricey.
Yes, funny that ASRock offers DeskMini Barebones with MXM Slot: www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/DeskMini%20GTX%20(Z390)/index.us.asp
But as you can see, MXM cards aren't officially available for consumers just a few spare parts from repair shops taken out of dead notebooks, so instead I'd rather get a really small ITX Case like the DAN Cases A4-SFX v3, Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Shift [X] or Cryorig Taku where I can put in a normal Graphics Card with a maximum length of 250-300mm.
ngl thats a well build laptop
Very poor cooling design, I doubt I can handle it
Usless update the cpu will bottleneck like anything gpu
When you upgrade the starter weapon.
it's possible to upgrade GPU with DELL Latitude E5440, please?
If your laptop has a 720M it may be theoretically possible seeing as it is an MXM chip but i dont have any diagrams on hand to see if that really is the case. Diagrams aside I'd say it isn't worth it even if it were possible. The laptop has a power supply of 65W and that suits the 720m just fine as it, along with the cpu only has a TDP of ~48W. If you upgrade to a 740m you can pull it off as it requires the same amount of power but stretching for a 750m (which has been below minimum requirements since 2016) will require 65w and you've already reached the theoretical maximum your power supply can provide.
I'd say your only two options are:
1: Sacrifice mobility and invest in a discrete desktop GPU and a mini pcie eGPU like the eXP GDC Beast. This setup will occupy your WLAN and you may need to use a USB WLAN card instead to stay connected to the internet if you opt to go down this router.
2: Sell your laptop and buy a new one. There are some affordable laptops out there with GT 1050s and 1050Tis that will outperform your setup for less than $700US.
If your laptop has a WiFi card or any other PCI card which can be removed you can put an eGPU. Almost every laptop has this but some require a custom BIOS
wish you actually showed the process of installing the gpu on video, otherwise it was a good video
This looks likes my school laptops
Nice, I just got a 980m mxm for my ZBook 17 G3! $300 upgrade and comparable to today’s midrange laptops.
That gpu is ass. That benchmark is old asf and doesnt take that much to get a good score on

Gotta say I had the idea to upgrade a laptop I had
Push it to the limit
I maxed out the CPU, maxed out the ram, modified the GPU bios to run on a higher voltage
When I saw the price of buying the max GPU that would fit it was waaaay too much..I mean hundreads of dollars for an out of date, underpowered, lack luster card...so instead I picked up an external GPU dock, a desktop GPU, and a monitor
The benchmark results were so much higher than the built in GPU could ever hope to get, if you're willing to drop that kind of money on a GPU upgrade you should look into external graphics
Why does it take so long to boot ?

ok, it s runnable but then the power supply you got from the low end model may not be able to let the new GPU run at its optimal performance. Second, is the termal for the laptop originally may not be enough for the new GPU. These are the issue you need to research before buying one. if the original config of this laptop only difference is the GPU, then it will be fine, but if it is not, you will be have some troubles there.
Wrong. Runs great, the cooling solution of 8770W is rated 100W TDP, this 970m is 75W, so no problem at all. I am running M5000M on my 8770W and it runs 1185Mhz OC full speed all the time and it barely hits 95W TDP and runs at 66-69C.
Dude, thanks for sharing this, but I like to put a few comments. 1. What was original GPU? I think you never mentioned. 2. Lighting dude! You don't need too expensive light boxes. Just buy a more powerful light bulb or use a led flashlight. 3. Unscrewing bolts with one hand and taking video it is hardcore dude :) I was terrified that you accidentally damage some components on PCB.
