I partially solved this, flashing a new BIOS in the card and  installing the latest drivers with the .inf file modified.
Now I feel like I'm reaching the goal but...the workstation BIOS is still listing only the integrated graphic chip and if I switch off "switchable graphics" I get a blank (but this time with an active black signal) screen. From device manager my nvidia card is "working properly" now but even if I disable from here the graphic chip I still have poor performances and I think that the Quadro isn't working at full load because of some internal strange graphic management.

I'll start debugging again tomorrow, now is time to sleep.

Paolo,

Which BIOS did you flash? Were you able to sort out the performance issues?

I had an M2000M installed in my M4800 on Friday. I am unsure if it is the HP or Dell version. The subvendor ID reported was 1028 (Dell) but when I backed up the vbios ROM with GPU-Z it came out as 13CC or something. I downloaded an NVIDIA driver and modified the inf file to 05CC to match the hardware IDs.  I performed a clean install with unsigned driver and then ran userbenchmark and after removing Tthrottle recorded a reasonable 20% (double the K2100M that I had). nvflash is complaining when I try to reload a modified version (with reduced temperature target). I had various issues re-enabling secure boot and bitlocker but it seems to have settled down with TPM updated. The engineer who fitted it said he had to use a different heatsink bracket and I am getting a lot of fan noise under load (even with tthrottle at 70 degrees) so I am concerned that I may need to have it opened up again.

I seem to have cooling issues with almost every Dell laptop I use. My corporate Latitude 7290 suffered as soon as I ran minikube. The previous client's Inspiron 7560 slowed as soon as I ran anything more than Chrome on the 940mx. I had to completely update the cooling and heatsinks in T5500 and my brother is still using it to heat his flat with a used 750ti and a couple of Xeons despite melting two graphics cards. I'd try an XPS if it had a decent keyboard like the Precisions.

Hi James et al

I've just upgraded to a M2000M (HP Bios) in a 8570 Elitebook.

All is working well post an inf driver hack but my OSX partition has a huge graphics messing up compared to the previous K2000 I had.

Any ideas if a BIOS flash would make any sense to attempt to resolve this?

Thanks

Nige

Did you made any progress with your problem? Can you help me resolve mine i have the same problem....

I bought HP version Quadro M2000M for Dell Precision 7520 and luckily it is visible under a BIOS, however, I’m not able to install any NVIDIA driver on Windows 10 backround, NVIDIA installer your hardware does not support this driver software.

I’m not able to use it if I can’t install a driver, please can someone help.

I'm having the same issues trying to get a Quadro M2000M to work on my Dell M4800. This is my first laptop and the installation was definitely a learning experience. The graphics cards do not appear to indicate that they can only be used for one brand; is this typical?

Has anyone found a solution yet?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

you said if the card isnt branded.

im looking to purchase one off ebay and need to know exactly what im looking for.

was there an overheating issue also?

any info would be great.

i have the Dell M4800 with Intel I7-4800MQ and 16GB ram and the R9 M200X video gpu with 2GB ram.

i want to do the Nvidia M200M if it will work good.

Good afternoon! There was a problem .. Installed a m2000m video card, in some games it works, in others not .. Why?
