    hi,

    I have decided to upgrade the GTX 675M on my P150EM to 980m or 970m, using prema bios mod

    here is my laptop's current spec:
    • CPU i7 3630QM
    • 7200 rpm hdd on master slot
    • 8GB DDR3
    • 180W power supply
    I'm still unsure about a couple of things, though:
    1. will the 180W power supply be enough for 980m or 970m? I don't plan to overclock
    2. my games are Blade and Soul, Starcraft 2, Guild wars 2, and maybe Witcher 3, Tomb Raider, and Overwatch when it comes out. I will be only playing them on 1080p on my measly 15" laptop screen. will 980m be overkill? can 970m do the job? I'm happy enough to run Witcher at high, not ultra.
    thanks in advance!
