About 750M for y510p

I bought the y510p with single 750M card , i want to buy the ultrabay card but i can't find it because it was removed from lenovo's site as there was a problem with the cards ,
the question are : will that card be available again ?
and if not , can i put 755M along with 750M ?
the last one is : can i return the laptop to lenovo asking for an sli version as they don't provide the card they advertised ?

Thanks in advance

 

Nobody knows when or if the cards are coming back.

There are hacks that can allow the SLI of 750/755 together but you need to hack your bios to remove the white list limitations and you need to used hacked Nvidia drivers for it to work.

I think there return policy is only 30 days.

 

Are you sure that will work (cause I don't want to waste 100 $) ?
If I hack the bois white list will it harm the laptop ?
Will it void the warranty ?

 

You will have to read the other threads about mix and matching to find out how well it works. It does void your warranty but you can always flash it back to change it back to stock.

 

Lenovo is still selling the 750M ultrabay, at a premium price: Y500 Removable Graphics GT750M5 | Lenovo | (US)

I'd recommend going through the Barnes and Noble link to bring the price down to under $200: https://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary...inity-cmd=/barnesnoblegold/us/en/accessories/

 

Thanks for the info.

 

The card for y500 isn't compatible with the y510p

The barnes an noble link is new to me , thanks )

 

Really? Has that been confirmed by owners, because there's no reason why it shouldn't be compatible.

 

yes , no one could get the card to work , Lenovo realised that the cards won't work on Y510P so the product with the name "y510p 750M ultrabay" was removed from their site .
I think the best solution is to mix 755M with 750M

 

I have a separate thread here about this if you are interested and a 40+ page long thread over at the Lenovo forums with a huge amount of people all complaining about this.

 

@Varroa : I have searched the internet and couldn't find a thread saying that someone have mixed 750M and 755M
the thread on techpowerup forums was "general" aand no body tried the 750M and 755M together , do you have any useful links ?

Oh? Do you have the links?
