    Few days back i purchased dell 15R core i 7 (4thGen) 5537. I checked its graphic card online on various sites which was amd radeon 8870M 2 gb. But after installing graphic drivers from official amd site and even from dell support it shows that i have 8670M 2gb graphic card.

    Can you tell me are there any different model comes with 5537 or i just get betrayed by a retailer? If there are any other models with different graphic card models then is there any difference in the prices??

    Just a quick question, is the video card for this model replaceable? MXM?

    Probably not... Its a Dell and an Inspiron which is Dell's budget line...

    Great work cloud. It appears that the version with the better video card also comes with a 1080p screen.
    GPUZ should have this solved in a jiffy though.
