    Hello,

    as the title says I own a clevo p151em1 notebook.

    so i want to upgrade the graphics card in my clevo p151em1
    i have the 670m currently inside and the ivy bridge i7 (3630qm).

    Is it possible to make a 980m working? Where should I get one? I live in Germany.

    Thanks for all help

    from what I could research so far:

    the p150 comes with a 180W AC adapter that supports up to 100W graphics card

    the p151 comes with a 120W AC adapter that supports up to 75W graphics.

    Eurocom is offering 180W Adapters for the p151.. If I get one, will that enable me to use a gtx980?

    While the motherboards are only officially validated for the lower cards they are pretty much identical, you can treat it like a P150em as far as upgrades go if you get the larger power adapter.
