NEw GFX cards

[Demvaril]

Hi I wonder if someone can help me. I have an Alienware M17x that is 2 years old, it currently has 2 x geforce 8700m cards in it, any idea how i can find out what cards i can upgrade to? I want to fit 2 of the best ones i can but not sure of limitations.

Thank you for any help.

Dem.

i'm not expert on alienware laptops but i suspect you will have to go through them to upgrade your gpu in there laptop just so they can charge you double the price. its a sad world

also apparently only alienware's sister company dell do the upgrades. so try contacting them both.

It can be done, its an MXM size IV card and I found a site with instructions - they have successfully upgraded it from dual 8700m cards to GTX280m although not 2 of them. Looking for a slightly lower card that i can use 2 of and SLI them.

This page says it should support a 5870:
