    Does anyone have the cash to test this out? :3 I kinda wanna save up for the 770M, but I don't wanna buy it if the GPU just decides to say "NO." and then I'm out $600. :(

    I'm sure people will test it eventually, the GT60 can take the new cards, so it seems if you can take a 6xx series you should hopefully be ok.

    We'll have to wait for an user to test it. It might work just well after a couple of tweaks or might be just plug&play. You never know with new VC's on older revisions :p
