Recommended Posts

Hi guys, i have several question that i want to ask....

Before i want to upgrade my m15x, i just want to make sure of it

1. Is nVidia GTX 765M compatible with alienware M15x ?

2. if its compatible, then what requirement that i need to upgrading my m15x?

3. will the old X bracket will fit for GTX 765M(and also maybe a guide to remove the old GPU to the new GPU, cause i'm really noob at this)?

4. and lastly what driver or bios/vbios i need to install it?

Here is my m15x profile..

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.120830-0333)

BIOS: Ver A03 1.00

Processor: Intel® Core i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz (8 CPUs), ~1.6GHz

Memory: 4096MB RAM

Graphic Card : nVdia GTX 260M

1. I got it to work when i first installed it but when i restored my windows 7 it started to give me problems

3. yes, and here's a video on how to install (

)

4. Driver Details | Dell US

all in all i wouldn't recommend upgrading to the GTX 765M as it may cause problems in the future, well i mean that's what happened to me :disturbed:

If you decide to get the GTX 765M let me know if you got it to work or not

Well after looking through the forum, it seems GTX 660M or 680M is the probably have no compatibility issue...

i will go to for that two choice but finding it at a affordable price is really hard

i'll try to update as soon as possible if i already get the GPU card :)

What sort of issues? If you install the drivers with modified .inf, it should work, no? I mean, the 765M is Kepler, not much different from 660M and 680M.

Well I installed the drivers with modified .inf but I still get a white screen on startup unless I disable integrated HD audio in the bios , I haven't figured out how to fix the white screen issue yet. Any help?

About the white screen issue - that's just a matter of drivers. Nvidia still didn't fix that, I recommend you send them a bug report.

The issue can be resolved by installing the drivers in the proper order, I got it working on my M15x with the 780m.

Maybe u need to send nvidia the bug report about the white screen issue?

Also have you tried to use a clean driver installation(cause i see this as a recommended guide if you want to install a new driver)

Sorry for not much helping, maybe you need to ask the svl7 regarding this issue
