svl7 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 No. But it would be worth upgrading to a 660m or 7970m. Or 680m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastOne Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 quite a price jump (from my possible $120 shipped 5870m) to those cards the 7970m upgrade is plug&play ? what i`m actually asking is if the stock M15x gpu heatsink and backplate fit without mods ?

svl7 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Yeah, pretty much plug & play, check the 7970m thread in the M15x forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alienware-L_Porras Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The 5870m is not a huge jump from the 460m. I would just stay with it or do as svl7 says and get something higher later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastOne Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 i`ll keep the 460m for now and hope i`ll get my hand on a 7970mthank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyylove50 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 not at all, they are GPUs of similar level (similar graphic performance), try upgrade to 6970m or even 7970m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
