    So i bought a single clevo gtx 880m 8gb as an upgrade for my alienware m18x r1. i thought with all the reading ive done id be able to get it to work but apparently im a little slow. I have been up and down this and several other forums trying to figure out how to get it to load. Can't seem to get the display driver modified right either as the guide's ive seen thus far want me to modify certain lines in the .inf files that aren't there. which im assuming is my main problem. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Well I know that's not true as I've seen several videos of them Installed in alienwares. Just requires an unlocked bios and a custom .inf file made in the video driver. I just don't know how to do the .inf modification
