    I have a Vortex 3 from PC Specialist in the UK and the team there tell me it is unlikely the 780m would work due to bios issues. Is this something I could rectify myself or is the upgrade really not worth the hassle?

    They are correct, if I were you I would keep a close eye on this https://biosmods.wordpress.com/gtx780m/

    I am not sure whether the upgrade would be worth the cost but I would need to see a lot more real gaming benchmarks to know that. It would be nice if Prema has success and judging from his update, things look promising. It was also great to see how so many donated to help out too. Great community here as always.
