    Hello, i see that there are sellers on Ebay that sells Graphics cards that you can use in Clevo, Sager, etc. I wonder if it's possible to buy an additional 660m card to use in SLI with the one that already is installed?
    If that's not possible. Is it worth it to upgrade to 675mx?

    Hey

    The W350's GPU is soldered onto the motherboard and therefore not upgradable.. Sorry

    The GPU on the W series are soldered in. You'd have to go with a P series Clevo to be able to upgrade the graphics card. However unless you have an old model upgrading the graphics card is always expensive. You're better to go straight for the high end, 7970M 680M etc.

    I find that's an excellent time to tune the memory timings =)

    Yes gpu upgrading is usually best to keep a series on the top gen EG np8150 hd6990m to hd7970m.

    Memory timings on a Saturday night. Dude, that so sad.... sad that mine are so tight I can't squeeze any more out of them. Actually don't have a Clevo handy, browsing on my surface. Amazing little bit of kit. If anyones considering one, don't hold back. All it needs is a PWN PCs boot logo, ...Prema?
