    Hi,

    I am considering buying the new XPS15". Well I am not really happy with the 540m as a graphic card. I was wondering if there is a chance to change that for a faster one by myself?! I am not sure if I want to spend 700 usd more to get a Saeger NP8150...

    What yo think?!

    No it is soldered onto the motherboard.

    Your best bet would be to sell the XPS 15 and get a Sager/ASUS/Alienware as they are real gaming laptops.
