Does anyone have the gtx 880m in their AW 17?

I'd also be curious to know if anyone has managed to just drop an 880M into the AW 17 R5 chasis without issue. Realistically it's the same exact same GPU just with memory modules that are twice the density (total 8GB rather than 4). Since the R5 will come out with the 880M there shouldn't be any BIOS issues. Most samples show that they are just specially selected GK104 chips able to run at the stock core frequency of ~950Mhz. I saw a graph showing that the 880M has a lower TDP than the 780M but I find that hard to believe when they both run at the same voltage. Wouldn't surprise me if a modified vBIOS was needed to work out the kinks like the 780M
