I'm not sure, but from memory I think the AW17 uses the lvds display interface by default, and the AW17 R3 uses edp. If the AW17 has an edp output on the motherboard and you can get an edp cable that fits, it will probably work. Again I think im right in saying the onboard intel gpu on the AW17 is only connected to lvds so you would probably loose optimus and possible have to unlock the bios (which you need to desolder the chip and program on an eeprom programmer) so it can be configured to boot "peg" straight to the gtx 880m and output to the 4k panel over edp.
