Posible Upgrade Graphic card for Dell Precision 7710

Yes you can upgrade to a faster GPU.
The 7710 came with the option for a Quadro M3000M, M4000M, or M5000M

You will need to swap the heatsink to the Nvidia MXM-B versoin (DPN: YJNJK)
Quadro M3000M 4GB (DPN: H99YY)
Quadro M4000M 4GB (DPN: 4XR03)
Quadro M5000M 8GB (DPN: 1JY2V)

If you do not mind modding your drivers, you can upgrade to a GPU from the Precision 7720.
Quadro P3000 6GB (DPN:  W8CKM)
Quadro P4000 8GB (DPN:  2T92C)
Quadro P5000 16GB (DPN:  Y42WJ)

I personally have installed the Quadro P4000 in my 7710 and it is an amazing upgrade.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. It helps me less confused but I do also have some more question. Can you help me out, please!

Where should I get an nvidia P4000 working (not a fake or a broken one) and Do i need to do anything or just put it back to my laptop.

What do you mean by i need to swap the heat sink?

I'm looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks

Thank you. I'm going to order Nvdia quadro P4000 and install it my self.

thank you a lot.

Hi, If your upgrade will successful then please share your`s solution. I`ve got problems after drivers installation, device won`t working properly...

Hello,

Can you specific about your graphic card. I am just waiting for the delivery.

I need details before being able to give any meaningful help.

1. Did the seller state what machine the P4000 came from? (or claim compatibility with the Precision 7710 or 7720)

2. Are you running with Optimus enables or disabled?

3. What is the GPU "Hardware ID" from the device manager?

@Stefen Guvstav 

Did you buy the P4000 and when installing it did not work for you?
I bought a P4000 on ebay and when I installed it on my DELL 7710 it did not recognize it, and when I reinstalled my m4000m everything works ok. I understand that they are compatible with DELL 7710 ... I will request help from DELL technical service. If you have news, inform me. Regards.

Hello James.

I want to update my DELL 7710 with E3-1535M v5, I have a quadro m4000 installed. and I bought a quadro p4000, but during the installation the notebook does not recognize it.

Could you guide me to make a correct update. If necessary I can pay for your service.

Regards.

Thanks James for your prompt reply.

1.- Buy the card on Ebay, and it does not say which machine it comes from, but the model is N17E-Q3-A1 compatible with 7710, 7720 and ZBOOK 17 G4.

2.- I will check if I am using optimus,

3.- Hardware ID of my m4000M is 13F9, must I configure the driver's .INF to recognize the P4000?

 

2. Does your Device Manager list 2 display adapter devices? (2 devices = Optimus, 1 Device = no optimus) (Or only 1 Intel device = System can't see the Nvidia card for some reason.)

3. Device name of the new Quadro P4000 with no drivers installed will be listed as "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter".
     Right click on this and go to properties
     Click on the Details tab
     Select Hardware Ids from the drop down list
     The first line is your full Hardware ID (Should start with "PCI\VEN_"
     My Quadro P4000 running with Optimus disabled = PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1BB7&SUBSYS_16DA1028&REV_A1

Important thing to remember when modding your .inf file.  Nvidia mobile GPUs have 2 hardware IDs, one for dedicated mode and one for Optimus.  Make sure you look at the device manager and get the Device ID in the same mode that you will be using.

Mr. James.
First of all I want to thank you for your valuable information, today I managed to update my DELL 7710 All thanks to you . I was very nervous, but managed to do it. Now I only have 2 doubts.

1.- How do you update the BIOS? Is the optimus option disabled and ready? Or should an extra step be taken?

2.- Piriform Speccy tells me 4095MB of memory and not 8192MB    But TechPowerUP GPU tells me 8192MB. In dxdiag it tells me 8089 VRAM.

My laptop has 32540MB of Ram. But systeminfo shows 37404 MB Total. Does this sum include the graphics card?

Open the "Device Manager" and expand the "Display adapters" section.

If there is only the NVIDIA Quadro P4000, then Optimus is disabled.

 

Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc then click "More Details"
Click the Performance tab.
Click on the Quadro P4000.
Look at the Dedicated GPU memory.

Thank you again Mr. James. I managed to verify and indeed the card is working with its 8GB.

I am very grateful for all your knowledge and time that you helped me. He is a great person, a virtual hug.

so I have recently bought the 7710 and I upgraded my driver to M5000M but ever since that If I open any game of any sort my laptop will shutdown after about 5 minutes do you know what causes this and if so do you have the solution?

Thanks
