You have to remove the old heatsink during the graphics card replacement. Then installing new heatsink along with new graphics card. However, the whole process is tedious. It requires planning and organize small parts with proper sequencing of removal and installation of components and chassis. Review the linked videos ahead of time and using the service manual for reference.

Users with M6800 and GTX 980M have ran benchmark and the results were good to excellent. Scroll through userbenchmark to learn more about the components used in these users validated machines.

For details work, review the video here and here for the process.

Dell made different heatsinks for this model. You may need heatsink for nVidia graphics.
