    Hi guys!

    I am currently having an Alienware M15x with intel i7- 740Q @1.73 GHz , 4 GB RAM and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to to upgrade my graphics card? Any recommendations on the upgrades will be a great help .

    Thank you. :)

    Most definitely can! Best options are either 680m or 7970m, the latter being a bit cheaper. Check out nbr marketplace, some for sale.

    Might be worth waiting to see what the GTX 960M looks like, I imagine a 60W-75W card with a lot of power but khetik is right, both 680M and 7970M are great options and should be quite cheap second-hand/used.

    Waiting just a bit more could get you a top of the line card.
