Alienware Aurora R3 GPU upgrade. HELP!!
Hi i have a Alienware Aurora R3 running gtx 590, 8gb of RAM and i think its either the 525w or 875w power supply not certain on it though. I wanted to upgrade to a gtx 1070 was wondering if this would be possible and if so could you link me one please. I have seen people say you need to have (hybrid vBios switch) but couldnt find the 1070 with that so any help would be appreciated. Also the BIOS Mode is Legacy.

I suggest you verify you have 875w PS.
I think the vBIOS switch might only apply to AMD cards.
Read this thread carefully:
How can I determine graphics card compatibility with Aurora R3?
