DMC Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Has anyone upgraded a Graphics card on the P150SM-A? i have at the moment a 870m (6GB version) but would like to know if its possible to upgrade to the 880m? Also is it worth it? or could i OC the 870m using Perma BIOS and what would be best prog to do the OC?The reason i ask is the shop i bought it from does not give this upgrade as an option (but was available on initial buy), also the cards are readily available from well known e-bidding sites.I have done this lots with desktops but not LaptopsIf it is possible, is it a simple swap (including re-pasting) or more in dept bios settings etc?Just Curious and like tinkering!Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Upgrading to a Clevo GTX880M is no problem on this model. You could also OC the GTX870M with NVIDIA Inspector...and use a (future) vBIOS Mod to do so further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjasdontcry Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Probably wouldn't upgrade 870 to 880 unless you have managed to find a great deal on the the 880 card - wait a few months ( hopefully only a few months) and look into upgrading to the high end Maxwells if you're simply after performance boost.. and money isn't an object Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 There won't be any high end mobile Maxwell this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrbodnar Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Dont mean to bring this thread back from the dead, but My question is along these lines. In the future I wanted to upgrade the gtx 880m in the P150sm. Has anybody here heard if the form factor and interface will be the same for the gtx 980M? Ive been searching everywhere and cant seem to find any information on it. I understand its still quite some time til its supposed release, just wondering if anybody hear has heard.

Djask Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I was wondering this too. However, if the M295X comes out first, I believe it will be relatively better than the GTX 880M that I currently own. (2k shader cores apparently). Will it still be on the MXM 3.0b slot? And will the clevo BIOS be compatible with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 The 9 series cards come only later next year, but there is no technical reason to moove to a new MXM standard. Still plenty of bandwidth unused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabrielmocan Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Actually the 970M and 980M are pretty close to be announced... Good chances that we can upgrade ours P1XXSM-A to 9xx series IMO since lots of benchs has been released under these models... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
