rewben Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 yes, i am waiting for the news also. geforce.com has published the new gpu driver for 980m specifically. it must be just around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJko66 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 upgradeyourlaptop are already offering upgrade kits for some Alienware models (M17, M18, 17 and 18), not sure if they will manage to upgrade older revisions... My R3 with 880m is probably maxed out :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexxx Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The new graphics card is quite expensive if you take it for updates. Plus, there's troubles with the installation and drivers. It is better to buy a new one when watered in the sale with the latest graphics cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louis1978uk Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Any news? Toying with picking up a used new gen m18 and using my 980m sli cards in it and selling my p570wm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaka Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Don't think so, thread on the m17x/m18x is getting too confusing for my little brain. Far as I can work out you need m18x r2 for 980m sli to work you need to have win 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Alien 18 i think is claimed to Work 980m but it must be installed UEFI and ran in UEFI with Windows 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
