M18x-R2 with Nvidia GTX675. GPU Upgrade options?
I've got an M18x-R2 with the GTX675. Do I have options, from Dell or otherwise, to purchase any upgrade cards? Either an additional 675 for SLi or a higher-end card, like the 680m? Thanks

These are the part numbers for the related NVIDIA video cards:
HXD3N NVIDIA GeForce GTX675M
20HTK NVIDIA GeForce GTX680M
You’ll also need the Support Plate (3MHHT) + Left Heatsink (5G1VJ) + Right Heatsink (Y48TK).
If you want to change to AMD video cards, here’s the information:
9XVK3 AMD 7970M
3PVGK Support Plate + V4NXK Left Heatsink + Y48TK Right Heatsink

Hi! Yes, you have the option of dual NVIDIA GTX 675M or dual GTX 680M. We don’t currently have those parts in stock for sale, but you can check for other online stores that might have them available.

you can upgrade no problem to dual cards , just gotta verify you got the 330watt adapter ..
680M's were highest NVidia card verified by dell
7970M ATI cards like I have on my M18X R2 ... are great and only 5%~ performance diff
looking online some have gotten the 780M's working on the R2 .. but just gotta make sure you got the 330 watt PSU or gonna have a pile of issues
