    Hello,

    I'm planning on upgrading my Clevo P150EM GTX675M to 970M.

    Does anyone here can give me some tips? Like, is every 970M card compatible?

    Should i do it or it's not worth it?

    Anyone that made the upgrade would like to share some thoughts?

    Cheers,
    António

    970M or 980M should work so long as you are using the correct Premamod BIOS, as well as make sure you get a Clevo card, specifically. The factory BIOS on your model does not support any 9xxM cards.

    It's really up to your needs and your budget.

    What jaybee said. :vbsmile: If they do not advertise the brand, you should be able to contact them about it.

    They sell Clevo's so yes should be a Clevo card.. Make sure to mention this to them that you want one when buying!

    With the price of the 970M and getting a little for your old card does make senes for the older machines if they are still solid otherwise.
