Has anyone installed a 970/980m video cards in the m18x R1's?

Mr. Fox tried a 980m, but the 980m and 970m require UEFI boot on alienware systems to work with direct output to the screen, so SLI is not possible. Optimus mode likely works, but that means you can only use one card.

I'll second that, I just installed 780 SLI in my R1 and believe I'm running into some power issues. More investigation is needed here and I'll get back to the forum when I have more information.

The 980m you speak of works due ti being able to run legacy UFEI? The m18x R1 does not support it, at least from what I've read on people attempting to try anyways.

Supposedly the best, cheapest option is to run a 860m SLI rig, but honestly who would run that...
