Flu Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 You will need moded heatspreader for GPU as well as moded bios to work with your laptop. I am not sure about the vbios part. I am hoping to fix mine as well and upgrade. Also since you have integrated GPU on CPU it will have to be disabled in order to work properly unless someone can make you a modified bios that will switch on the fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ll_r1d0_ll Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 m17x r3 cannot be upgraded to 980m.. the max u can go with is gtx 880m but it does have issues and has been reported UNSTABLE ! The best you can have is GTX 780M or GTX 680M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thr Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hi it is big differences between R3 and R4? Problem is with cooling this system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flu Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 But 880m is 780m with an overclock and some voltage tweaks. If you do get 780m, get modified vbios or make one yourself with kepler bios tweaker. Just find a copy of 880m vbios and replicate the settings in 780m vbios, then flash it. As for 980m I might be wrong but I think you can get it to work if binary is modified in bios. Since PCI-E will be slower than on the new MXM (since you have old version 2.0 I think) it might create issues there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R4 has slightly modified heatsink and fans spin a bit faster 400-600 rpm I think. Other than that they are pretty similar. The new ones, after Dell bought alienware, are crap imo.
