    Okay, so it's no surprise that the GTX 560M is exceedingly dated for games today. If I could upgrade to something like a 765M, I'd be plenty satisfied with a GPU like that. I know the X775 uses a standard MXM 3.0b slot for the GPU, as I've taken the thing out and placed it back in when cleaning the old TIM off it...but will it accept a newer GPU model?

    Anyone have any info on this? :C

    You will need an unlocked BIOS and probably a toshiba vBIOS on your GPU.. Which will be difficult probably..

    Is there an unlocked BIOS out there for this machine? If yes, where would I start looking if not here? o_O
