Razer blade 15 (2019) gpu passthrough configuration (muxed or muxless?)

I am currently working on passing through the NVIDIA 1070 GPU into a windows KVM running on an arch Linux kernel. To get this to work I need to copy the frame buffer from the NVIDIA GPU and parse it through the integrated graphics so it can be outputted on the internal display as well as the HDMI output. I would assume the NVIDIA GPU is simply passed through via an internal PCIE lane due to its appearance in the PCIE configuration file but it seems to contradict itself since the HDMI port does not output by default to a secondary monitor and fails to detect it at all which shouldn't happen if the HDMI port is connected directly to the NVIDIA GPU's output. My suspicion based on that is that the laptop is MUXless and the HDMI output is sourced from the internal EGPU. if this is the case is there any kind of internal API I could use to create a software stub HDMI output from the GPU that I could copy the frame buffer from using a program like looking-glass? Attached below is a overview o

Has anyone managed to crack a 18000 firestrike score with the 2080 max q?

Just purchased a i7 8750 Blade 2080 max q and it look like I got good one. Thermals are great and with a slight cpu undervolt, I was able to score 17700 on firestrike. Is there any way to get an even better score? The GPU never gets above 74 degrees.

Bought the Razer blade pro 17 (2017) 4k GTX1080 in year 2020 ??

Hi Folks, Last month i took a plunge and got the razer blade 17 pro - I7-7820HK , GTX 1080 , 4k screen, 32gb ram , 1tb harddisk from Razer store directly. It was having a massive promotional discount online. Shipment was from Hongkong to my home country , Singapore. I could had chosen some other Acer / Asus / MSI latest models fitted with GTX 1660TI or GTX1070 GPU with the same money that i had paid for this razer but i really wanted to try out this laptop that was selling for USD$4000 back then. I'm just curious was it worth the $4 grand. I currently have another Acer predator 15 inch RTX 2060 model hence, i bought this razer as i wanted a 17inch at a great price. Out of the box, laptop physical and aesthetics were great. Excellent chassis strength and rigidity. No wobbly plastic outershell. Screen bezel was rather thick in today's context, probably still acceptable in year 2017 design. Nevertheless, it has all the bells and whistles that i required ( thunderbolt port ,

razer blade pro 17 ( 2017 ) GTX1080 still kicks ass

My summarizing my 3 month usage of the year 2017 model of Razer blade pro 17 with 4k screen , 32gb ram and 1tb SSD , fitted with Nvidia gtx 1080 . Out of the box , it was hot like hell and throttles badly. It has excellent and top end components all badly fitted into a poorly cooling design razer chassis. The heavens 4 score was only 2600+. after a series of tweaks as follows 1. repasting with LM 2. thermal pads added at Ram , PCH , NVME 3. Disabling raid 0 and running it as normal NVME ( much improved write / read than raid0 as raid0 will heating up the nvme really fast) 3. undervolting CPU and GPU 4. fans leaks seal 5. additional copper pipes mods The best results i got from heavens 4 benchmark is 4232 ! this performance is probably higher than most rtx 2080 Max q laptop. To summarize, in order for any gaming laptop to reach the maximum performance of it's hardware, cooling is of utmost importance. Its useless to have the highest specs cpu & gpu in a badly designed chassi

Razer Blade 15 Advanced - 2020 german keyboard layout

Hi there, does anyone have an image of some video that shows the german keyboard layout of the new Blade 2020 ? All I can find is non-german layouts, and as I am very picky about my keyboard (currently stuck on Razer Blade late-2016), I want to look at it without buying it unseen. Thanks for any hint.

Razer Raptor and Blade 15

I just recently bought a razor raptor 27" display to use as a main display for my blade 15 (late 2019) with the 4k touch screen. the setup looks beautful and im very happy with both but when gaming on with the monitor connected I noticed that when I go to do anything on the second display(the blade 15's built in display) that the main display will go black for about a second or 2 and then turn back on its as if a setting on the monitor is being turned on or off this also happens when going back to the game on the main display is there anyway to fix this? it is connected to the laptop via usb -c

Alternative Razer repair in the US?

I have a 2017 Razer Blade Pro 4K, it died (won't power on, just flashes an LED), upon sending it to Razer they say it needs a new motherboard, and the total repair bill is over $1500USD - seems insane really, that's pretty much the cost you're buying them at now. Are there any alternative laptop repair places in the US that may be able to help make this a little more affordable?

Is this possible on the 2019 Blade 15 Advance

I have a 2018 Razer Blade 15 Advance with the NVIDIA 2080 RTX. Did some reading and I think the nvidia gpu will only output through the hdmi port (disappointing) and not the USB c. I've got one of these https://plugable.com/products/ud-ultcdl/ So can I...plug a 4k display to the hdmi port and then use Dock above to output to 2/3 more external monitors using displaylink. I presume that I would need to configure the display adaptor setting to select which monitor gets which gpu output? Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[Blade 15 - 19' | RTX 2060] max. Amount of Monitors

Hey there, I have very "frist world Problem". I am currently using 3 external Monitors attached to my Laptop. Due to the current Situation, I am constantly running out of Monitor-Space to put all the Windows. Now I am curious how many more external Monitors could possibly be attached. Does anyone know the Limit ? (I am running (Arch-)Linux on my machine. But this should not make much of a difference ;-)) Thank you in advance :D

Rapter 27"

I didn't find this on the forums (but I'm also new so maybe I didn't search correctly). Regarding the base part of the monitor stand (part that makes contact with the desk), does anybody know the length and width measurements of this part? My desk has a monitor stand and I'm wondering if it will fit on this. Thanks in advance for any details you can provide! The areas in yellow are the measurements i'm requesting :)

Throttlestop PL2 explanation and use it to cool your Razer Laptop

PL2 stands for "Protection Level 2" and shows as a limit reason in throttlestop which by default is not a good sign. I explain what PL2 is, where the value for it is located and more importantly show how you can easily use it to lower temperatures of your Razer Blade etc.

Razer Blade 15 Advanced (Mid 2019) RAM Upgrade issue

Hey guys, I have the RB15 Advanced (Mid 2019) with RTX 2080 MAX-Q. Recently I upgraded to the Crucial Balistix 64GB 3200MHZ RAM kit, and I can't get it to run at 3200MHZ. I have tried the XMP Profile 1 in BIOS and the laptop will not restart (just hangs, blank screen then restarts and repeat). Can anybody help me with this? Thank you in advance. Jeff

2019 RBS + PowerColor egpu 550w + HDMI to 47" Samsung TV

I picked up a Powercolor egpu 550w for 150 bucks and decided to test it with the 2019 razer blade stealth 13 i7 8565U + MX150 4GB. I am using a old GTX 760 windforce to play need for speed most wanted on the TV which only maxes out at 30fps playing need for speed most wanted, I can hook it up to my monitor which most likely will run better, 550w is more then enough to power a good GPU and charge laptop, but I decided to order a SF600 from corsair! its modular too! I also will be upgrading the GPU to possibly a gtx 1080.

Stealth Keyboard Backlight on startup

So I'm kinda boring and prefer the keyboard backlight to stay a standard white colour. Obviously you can easily choose this setting within the synapse settings. However, this only kicks in once windows has loaded up, so while the computer is booting up keyboard still cycles through the various colours. Is there a way to make the keyboard boot up in just white rather than cycling through the colours? Or even have the backlight stay off until windows and synapse have booted up? Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find it. Thanks in advance.

Razer Blade GTX1060 2016 not booting... again

Hi Guys, coming back after a while, because my Blade 2016 GTX1060 is not starting again. I had this issue back in January 2018, had to send it to a Razer selected German repair-guy. He replaced the PCBA, and it work again... not perfectly but it worked. Now, April 2020, same issue occurs again. Just find somebody who post a video of the problem in September 2018: /razer-blade-2016-full-hd-black-screen-not-starting.42344/ Is it normal it happened again ? can I repair it myself now it is out of warranty ? Thanks for your help !

Much Worse than Expected Battery Life on Razer Blade 15

Hi guys, I bought a Blade 15 Advanced (early 2019 I think) a few weeks ago (brand new). In the first couple weeks, putting the battery mode in power saver and switching the screen to 60Hz I was able to get about 5.5 hours of battery life without changing anything else, pretty much what I expected. This week, however, no matter what I do I can't get the battery to last more than a couple hours. I don't think I changed any other settings before that, but now even putting the screen on min brightness, keyboard backlighting off, and keeping just one tab of chrome open doesn't help the battery life at all. I downloaded ThrottleStop to see my CPU power usage and it appears it uses 9-14W on battery saver which seems to be much higher than it should be and could be draining battery, although I don't know how to fix that. Any thoughts? Edit: The CPU power usage is now down to 1.4W for some reason, but it still does not make a significant impact on battery life. At 99%, it predicts 2:44, about

13" Razer Blade Stealth Desktop and Taskbar Blinking

My Razer Blade Stealth 13" desktop wont stop blinking. When I click anything, aside from Task Manager, it just stops it and goes back to the desktop, even if its the windows key. When I go into task manager, it shows the file explorer is using a lot of the cpu, and running for about 1 min will make the laptop burning hot. The task manager doesn't blink, just the applications, taskbar, and desktop itself. This is a link to a video of the problem: https://gfycat.com/bouncyblaringiberianmidwifetoad
