    Hi all. The search function is not working for some reason. I have a Clevo w870cu bought in the uk a year and a half ago. It came with a gtx 460M and if possible I would like to upgrade it. Is it possible and what can it go up to.

    Cheers

    Maybe not, I would caution about this as the 6970 is just as good for most things but with less heat. It has been an issue for me dealing with the heat and I ended up reducing the voltage and ordering some special thermal pads from mxm upgrade to make it work. That, and the extra costs with the 6990 vs the 6970m I would go with the 6970M and call it a day :)
