780m in Alienware m17x R2 works perfectly! I have upgraded 3x m17x r2's with the 780m in the last years and never had a problem. I installed a 880m yesterday and it works like dream! If you have any Question how to do it, feel free to ask.

Best Regards

Metro: Last Light and Battlefield 4 on Ultra, trust me this is a nightmare for gpu's

maybe a wrong vbios? try to blindflash the card to the latest version... sometimes it needs a old vbios like some dell cards in the m17x r2

best regards

Anyone have tried to use an 6970m with the r2? I have problems with overheating

i just upgraded from 6970m to 7970m and the temps are the same, 30° idle and 70° in BF4. 7970m has OC: Core 1010Mhz / Ram 1350Mhz + Liquid Metal from coolaboratory on the Chip and Phobya 0,5mm pads for Ram etc..

Hi, im officialy the owner of modded old m17x r2 with 940xm es processor and 7970m clevo gpu. Its working without problems so far and im planning to go even more and place second 7970m from clevo. Witcher 3 is coming out soon, so more power, more fun xD

Could anyone share with me what bus interface speed is running your gpu? Because mine runs x8 2.0 in games all the time, idle is x8 1.1 but here everythink seems to be ok.

The R2 can only handle x8 2.0, but you wont notice any difference between x16 and x8, its around 2-3 FPS

Hey, i want your 770m, i got a 7970m from DELL that actually works in my alienware m17x, i want to trade it with you.

best regards
