    460m is fully supported. According to some users also 560m works but we cannot recommend it since engineering has not tested it. If you require pricing information you can send us an e-mail to [email protected] with your tag and phone.

    For the same money as the 460M you can get a AMD 6970M. Twice as powerful and fully supported by the M15x. As with all cards for the M15x make sure whichever card you get in the dell version.

    Also if you are happy to spend twice the money you can even install the 7970M and have 4 times the power of the 460 or 560M (560M is practically rebadgd 460M)
