Thumper_23 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Guys, I have a Sager 9570 with 880M SLI. Will the 980Ms work in this. I'm hoping Prema will come out with a compatible BIOS. Do you think I would need new HS and X brackets? Where is a good place to buy video cards? I know if I go to Sager I'm gonna get hosed.

harrylinyiran Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I got in touch with Xotic PC, and the representative told me that I can buy graphic cards from Xotic PC. However, according to their site, GTX900m are in shortage until the end of October. So, if you are interested in buying graphic cards from Xotic PC, just waid til the end of the month and send them an email. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louis1978uk Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Btw that's eurocom on bay.... but price is about right they ain cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrylinyiran Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Thanks for the information.Did you get any change to ask him how much it costs?No, not yet. But I think I can say that the price would be around 600 dollars to 700 dollars for each piece. They are really expensive. I'm using dual GTX880m right now, and I do have a plan to upgrade them to dual 980m since the new exclusive features of Maxwell are really amazing (MFAA, Super Sampling and Global Illumination).

Bigspin Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You can buy 980M from RJTech for reasonable $710. I'm thinking about ordering one from them to upgrade my P150SM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elweegie Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I'm just hoping it turns out my P570 chassis can take them..... System builder already told me that I can't upgrade from SLI 880m to 980M due to Vbios incompatibilities >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm thinking on getting the 980M too, but only one. I have been seeing the EuroCom X7 and the prize difference between the 880M and the 980M is so small. The differences between the default graphics card (AMD Radeon R9-M290X) is +$326 for the 880M and +$367 for the 980M, only $41. I thought the 980M was gonna be much more expensive than the 880M.

CEG Team Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 dont forget about taxes... when you would to buy from USA or CHINA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takaezo Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I am surprised that the pricing point is so close together as compared to the 880m's Especially since they have came to market so close together....would think there would be a 150-200 $ difference.
