    Hello!

    I have GT683 DXR with 2670QM and a GTX 570M and I think I'm gonna upgrade the gpu to a better one but I wonder which else video card that would fit my current heatsink?

    So that I would rather not have to replace the heatsink.

    And an other question, do you think a GTX 780M is gonna work in my laptop?

    regards Filip

    780M won't work on this mobo but Clevo/Dell 770M should work without modifing heatsink. As far as i know you only have to download modified driver .inf file to make it work properly. Bet GPU you can upgrade to is 7970M but you will have to buy new hs also and it will be more costly. 770M is best performance/price upgrade.

    Cheers!
