    GTX 485M may possibly be one of the GFX options for M17x R3!

    Since last time I was pretty much the first one to find out that GTX 460m was gonna be an option for M15x in last year,I decided to visit Dell Japan again,just to see if there's any thing interesting to share with you guys.

    I don't know if it has been mentioned before,but oh well.

    Well if it can fit a 6970M I don't see why 485M wouldn't also work. Both should be similar TDP. Dell needs either card to compete against the new 17" Clevo.

    that picture also shows silver as an available colour but the pics are of R1/R2 lids rather than the R3.

    Yeah...they will probably switch them out in a few days,or in a week.

    I was like "oh man silver is back?" until i saw that black thingy on the bottom of the lid.

    I would buy a R3 in a heartbeart.. if they have 485M. That thing is powerful. More powerful than crossfire 5870.
