    I don't think so.

    Just buy the 7970M it's cheaper, and can OC very good too.

    We recommend up to the 460m on this machine but we've seen customers with both of these video cards installed.

    What would you need to do to get the 680m working in the M15x? How are the temps and performance in game? Hopefully no shutdowns due to power draw. I'm quite interested to get one in mine.

    I already have the 460m, hence wanting to upgrade.
