Thank you for the video. Looking on gaming MXM cards for a long time already since the mining boom started, but still was no clear info about best m-boards for them and usability in common. Hope you will continue observing this VGA segment to build a best gaming PCs with MXM at the end.
Very Nice video, i've seen this x1 adapter on Aliexpress and i was wondering How this Will probably work on practice, thank you for this demonstration 👍
It may be from the Nvidia Drive PX 2 of a Tesla (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Drive) "All Tesla Motors vehicles manufactured from mid-October 2016 include a Drive PX 2, which will be used for neural net processing to enable Enhanced Autopilot and full self-driving functionality.[9] Other applications are Roborace.[10] Disassembling the Nvidia-based control unit from a recent Tesla car showed that a Tesla was using a modified single-chip Drive PX 2 AutoCruise, with a GP106 GPU added as a MXM Module. The chip markings gave strong hints for the Tegra X2 Parker as the CPU SoC"
Pcie X1 is still good average FPS of 30 is good at 1080p is fine. Nobody could have imagined this type of setup to run commercial game on USB based riser card.
I've had a MXM 9650gt back in the day in an Acer laptop.... since then I'm in love with MXM (and MXM II) cards! actually I have one installed in an HP elitedesk in my office (for some everning light gaming after work ;) I THINK IT WILL BE REALLY COOL TO SEE THE EXPENSIVE ADAPTER, EVEN IF I THINK YOU CAN REALLY SKIP THAT PURCHASE: IT IS WAY TOO EXPRENSIVE MAN!
I'm working on mxm adapters right now. The lack of video output means the x1 adapter has to compete for the already insuficient bandwidth to send the grafical data back. Even in x1 if the mxm had a grafical output directly from the adapter you would have double the bandwidth.
Another wonderfully entertaining video about absolutely weird ways to use hardware, and no zip ties! That mini hp, I'm considering purchasing one (at least) and would love to see your take! Is it loud?
I have been trying to copy this set up for experiment purpose, Can you please confirm that this MXM card is powering GPU is not connected to any external power source and only Pcie x1 is powering it?
Can you tell me one thing like , did you tried connect this mxm riser board via pcie X1 with usb like the one commercially available... actually I have a raspberry Pi 4 8 GB ram variant and it is running Windows 11 version so it would be great to connect this MXM GPU for the Raspberry pi 4.
10:33 there was a version of 4GB 1060 for chinese market only for like arcade machine/gaming cafe use, but i don't know if you can get bios for it also about adapters - have you seen enywhere adapter for older revision of mxm 1,2 or HE?
Sorry, I have no clue if it's going to work with these Dell machines. If your CPU has an iGPU and you can keep it enabled when an MXM module is installed, it should work.

Very interesting. It's a shame this isn't viable. The K20X is a cheap alternative with the same performance. It's just a shame about the limited DX12 performance.
Cool, but i think you missed the point, i wouldn't want to turn my car into a gaming pc but rather let the car be the gaming pc. Hardware is aready there, now how do you emulate windows with far cry on the tesla infotaiment system and use the steering wheel and pedals as input?
@@Miyconst this is true, I was thinking about a laptop quadro if it would save me over a desktop model. P3000m vs P2000 for example. Or if I can scrounge up a geforce card from a dead laptop
I think it would have been better to be compared to a 1050ti or the 3GB 1060, and maybe add the 1060 6GB as a baseline. Also yeah, I think I will get a Tesla to get an MXM 3090ti out of it to upgrade my 1080ti.

Thanks! That explains a lot. Seems like we are starting to scavenge GPUs from cars for gaming.
@@Miyconst coming to scrapyard near you
been a while i was wondering bout mxm to pcie adaptator ! nice to see its indeed possible
Yes, it's surely possible, but X1 bandwidth is hurting the GPU performance really badly.
Excellent content ^_^ These type of projects are fascinating.
I am glad you liked it!
Pcie X1 is still good average FPS of 30 is good at 1080p is fine. Nobody could have imagined this type of setup to run commercial game on USB based riser card.
That's very true, but now the GPU crisis is over, so we can enjoy normal GPUs for consumers.

Thanks Carlo. I feel really itchy to buy that adapter, but I am not sure that I can afford spending this much for a useless thingy.
@@Miyconst then leave it behind... maybe in a future you'll find it as a bargaing in some discounts or sales
I'm working on mxm adapters right now. The lack of video output means the x1 adapter has to compete for the already insuficient bandwidth to send the grafical data back. Even in x1 if the mxm had a grafical output directly from the adapter you would have double the bandwidth.
Yes, PCI-E X1 is way too little for a GPU. I would say X4 is the very minimum.
Another wonderfully entertaining video about absolutely weird ways to use hardware, and no zip ties! That mini hp, I'm considering purchasing one (at least) and would love to see your take! Is it loud?
I am glad you liked the video! The HP machine I have is a bit loud, but what's even more annoying is that it doesn't like non-HP fans.
@@Miyconst thanks. So, definitely not a bedroom media pc.
I was just looking into this a couple of weeks ago. Top notch
Nice , greetings from Spain
Greetings back from Sweden.
I think video cards may be used in self driving cars to process the input from the sensor suite
Yes, that's my theory as well, but so far it's just a theory.
Keen to see that Tesla!
I have been trying to copy this set up for experiment purpose, Can you please confirm that this MXM card is powering GPU is not connected to any external power source and only Pcie x1 is powering it?
That is correct but mine PCI-E extender that I used had external power source.
There is actually a good usecase for this. If you use that PCIE-1x card you can use one in your Plex server etc as accelerator card for transcoding.
Ah. Typed before I reached 17:00 :(
Yeah, I was very sad to figure out that the encoder doesn't work.
Can you tell me one thing like , did you tried connect this mxm riser board via pcie X1 with usb like the one commercially available... actually I have a raspberry Pi 4 8 GB ram variant and it is running Windows 11 version so it would be great to connect this MXM GPU for the Raspberry pi 4.
Yes, I have tried using exactly that USB-like PCI-E raiser. I don't know if there are Nvidia drivers for ARM based Windows, so you better check that.
Nice content as usual ! Are you planning to make a video about interesting combos on aliexpress during Chinese new year ?
AliExpress goes into a "winter sleep" during the Chinese new year, thus it makes no sense to review their deals :D.
Good video as always!
It was a great, continue this kind of videos please
Thank you!
@@Miyconst my pleasure sir, thank you for this kind of content
Do you have a list of BIOSes you tried? Also did you use a EEPROM programmer?
Bought the adapter for 20€, gonna attempt something similar on the s7100x that's also on wstore, looks awesome for the price, hope it works as i think
Hi thanks for this nice experiment, can you please tell us about the hashrates , mining etherum or ravencoin or other ?
10:33 there was a version of 4GB 1060 for chinese market only for like arcade machine/gaming cafe use, but i don't know if you can get bios for it
also about adapters - have you seen enywhere adapter for older revision of mxm 1,2 or HE?
I have never seen a 4 GB version of GTX 1060, but there surely was a 5 GB version for the Chinese market.
Hi there
I am currently planning to do this with dell m6800 laptop
What do you think about this compared with a GTX 970m MXM?
Thanks in advance
The 970M has working display outputs and normal Nvidia drivers, so if the price is the same, I would surely pick the 970M.
cool video! but how did you do it? the p106m doesnt have any video output?
This exact video has the expansion. 😄
This might be off topic, but can you shared how did you able to use e3-1265L for gaming ? Since mine always stuck at 200 mhz in windows
Do fresh Windows installation, install all updates, including the optional ones, enable high performance profile in Windows, that's it.
Might be able to adjust clock speeds through SMI commands
Nice test. For the display output, you can use GPU passthrough like with Tesla GPU's. Try the x16 adapter please, I want to see what the results are.
That's exactly how I have tested this GPU. The MXM to PCI-E X16 adapter is rather expensive, I have not yet decided if I can afford it.
Hey pal

Do you know if this would work on dell
M6600,m6700,m6800?

Very interesting. It's a shame this isn't viable. The K20X is a cheap alternative with the same performance. It's just a shame about the limited DX12 performance.
K20X is an outdated and power hungry GPU, but it's still an interesting option if the price is right.

Hi, very interesting video! @ 0:48 pulled from a car?
The explanation is available at 09:04
How about flash p2000m vbios to unlock overclock，it hava similar standard to p106m
I wonder if we will see other sources of mom videos cards in the future ..
We already see it, we just don't know where these GPUs come from.
Cool, but i think you missed the point, i wouldn't want to turn my car into a gaming pc but rather let the car be the gaming pc. Hardware is aready there, now how do you emulate windows with far cry on the tesla infotaiment system and use the steering wheel and pedals as input?
LooL! That sounds like a better option, and since these P106M went for sale, it means that Teslas got an upgrade.
I remember these Tesla cards going for something like $40 on Ebay, and I didn't pull the trigger on them because you couldn't game on them back then
Good Job
could be used for mining with x1 adapter , i bet they made that adapter for mining.
It's hard to imagine a car which is used for mining, most likely it was used for image processing in self driving cars.
@@Miyconst I believe you may have misunderstood, the adapter for the pcie is for mining with laptop graphics cards
Nice
For the use case I'm looking at thos for bandwidth on pcie is much less of a concern. A dedicated hardware transcode GPU for a media server
Yeah, the only problem is that P106M does not have video encoder.
@@Miyconst this is true, I was thinking about a laptop quadro if it would save me over a desktop model. P3000m vs P2000 for example. Or if I can scrounge up a geforce card from a dead laptop

I believe these cards are used for Tesla infotainments.
Yes, it seems to be an ex-Tesla GPU.
This would be a cheesy way to top some hwbot leader boards.
you should also see the quadros, M4000M and M3000M, thetre cheaper than this and has the same performance
