XPS 17 9700 BIOS question

Question

Where is the 'Direct Graphics Controller Direct Output Mode' option? I see it in the service manual. But I can't find it in my XPS 17 9700 with the 1650Ti GPU. I've already updated to the latest 1.0.4 BIOS.

Hi, I also have this problem, so I need help too. It would be good if the proper solution just had posted here so that anyone can find it out.

@Aetf  It's been suggested that this BIOS option is only available in configurations that include the NVIDIA RTX GPU, not the GTX GPU.  I don't know if that's accurate, and it would certainly be disappointing if true, but it would seem to account for the different observations of people with different XPS 17 builds.

Same here--did anybody get a resolution?

Aetf · Answer

Dell says if the option isn't there then the hardware configuration doesn't support it. So I guess unfortunately GTX GPU doesn't have it.
