V762 Cas Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 IVE BEEN SEARCHING EBAY AND THERES LOTS TO CHOOSE AS IN VIDEO CARDS FOR MY ALIENWARE, BUT IS IT WORTH THE COST TO UPGRADE VS BUYING A NEW RIG IM LOOKING INTO EUROCOM SKY MODELS. MY M18XR2 IS GOING ON 6 YRS OLD NOW SO HOW FAR CAN I GO AS IN MODERN GAMES WITH THIS MX18R2 ? I HAVE 1 GTX660M. ITS OK TO LAUGH.. ANYWAY MOST MEMBERS OUT THERE ARE AT THE 10XX SERIES CARDS NOW SOME WITH MODS AND BIOS FIXES IF I TRIED THAT STUFF I WOULD END UP WITH A DOOR STOP. I ALSO HAVE AN M17XR1 BUT AGAIN TOO OLD FOR TODAYS GAMES NOW RUNNING ON 4K DISPLAYS I GUESS.. SO ANY ADVISE ON WHAT TO DO COST WISE ? OR WHAT WOULD BE A BAREBONE OPTION ?

ChillAlarm Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hey all, I was reading on another forum that the 7970m heatsinks could be used with the gtx 980m in the m17x r4, link here. Would that also apply to the m18x r2? I am replacing my burnt out 7970m's with a single 980m to start and need to know what all I need to get. Any help would be much appreciated!

Zoldago Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 You can give it a try, but to be sure that all fits perfect i recommend to use a Nvidia heatsink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChillAlarm Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hey Zoldago, Thank you for your response. As this is my first hardware upgrade I'll probably go with your suggestion. It'll already take enough jury rigging on the software side that I probably should play it safe here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
