Go to SolutionProblem with my video card
hello, i have a m15x alienware notebook Intel Core i7 740QM Quad Core Processor, 1.73GHz (2.93GHz Turbo Mode, 6M Cache) with this video card: 1024 MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730. Is it possible to change the video card for a more updated one? and what type of card is used and where can I buy it. Thank you

The M15x can take up to the GTX 970M or the 4GB version of the 980M (which can be hard to find).
You will just need a modded Nvidia driver to run the card, which isn't too hard. Head over to the forum at NotebookReview as there are still a few guys over there who can walk you through the process.

It's an MXM III video card, but this system is old enough (and those are never produced in large quantity) that you'll likely be looking for a used/refurbished card.
