all I'm saying is that the AGA finally is getting fixed since it wasn't able to read the RTX 30 series cards when people started putting in there
* 1/2 false.
The EOL (end of life) AGA is not going to be validated by Dell with the RTX 3080/3090 due to wattage issues. In the future, the AGA will be supported with the RTX 3070 which is why the m15 R4/m17 R4 still have the rear AGA port.so don't worry it'll be back.
* False. The AGA is EOL.

Yeah, they're making a new one though that supports the 3070 and maybe the 3080/3090 if the PSU is bigger.

From what Dell Alienware source did you get that data? That is not what I have been told.

Well Chris, I'm just guessing as that's what a kid would always do. Its just the thought of having a new graphics amp replace the 2014 one and add support for the 3070 brought those thoughts to me.

One would think they would introduce a new AGA since the new R4 has the port for it. If not, I am going to be upset since the graphics are good but not great on these laptops. I want a good docking station/ e-GPU and TB and USB 3 still can't put enough data through to run a 4k 120Hz or 144Hz monitor. And the graphics cards that are on laptop won't drive it either. Need the AGA interface to accomplish this.

@polarspark, my thought exactly. Why put an EOL port on the new laptops? Truly hope there will be an AGA equivalent option, although it'll be a while before a 3000 series desktop GPU will be available without luck/preorder/lottery...

Dell is no longer selling the 2014 released AGA (Alienware Graphics Amplifier) on our websites. When I go here and search for, "Alienware Graphics Amplifier", there is not a sales link. When I go here, the AGA is also not listed. When customizing Alienware Laptops (m15 R3/m15 R4/m17 R3/m17 R4/Area-51m R2), the AGA is not listed under Accessories.
