We have seen users who posted their results on non-validated video card upgrades. You can find this information on support forums like this one and Alienware Arena.
Can you please tell me the compatible GPU's for the 17" model? (i think the model is just 17", no R's) the model came from factory with a Gforce 860m 2gb.
hi I have an alienware 17r1 and the gpu integrated is the GTX 860M which does not work anymore I want to know if I could upgrade it to a more recent model or if I should buy again a GTX 860M?
