since gtx970m is slightly over budget... then gtx965m shud be fine.. but reliability of da brand... and long term use i think 970 is much way better to invest... as few hundreds dffrnt..

If you can afford it, try to get Cyberforge.

It seems cool and 970m would probably be slightly better.

Thanks guys! I will probably go Cyberforge for the 970m. You have been very helpful

Please update us with some photos when you got it.

It's a rare machine.

Anyone here have info on the difference between the NVidia GTX 980M 4GB v Nvidia GTX 980M 8GB? The 4GB is on the alienware 15 and the 8GB is on the aluenware 17. Read 1 forumer overseas commented that the 4GB version is soldered onto the motherboard with the CPU and is not a standalone MXM kind of card therefore its performance suffers. Just want to get this clarified.

I found some information which maybe useful for those not sure to pick GTX 960M, 965M, 970M or 980M.

I myself pick 970M (mine is 6GB VRAM edition) as I find it is the most valuable GPU which let you play Ultra Setting in Full HD for nearly all games.

Hi guys, hope someone can help me. I am using alienware x51 with nvidea gt640. Was wondering what will be a suitable swap for a better performing card. :S

what is ur power supply power??

just wondering any one have clearer idea of when pascal nvidia is coming ? current gen GTX970M / GTX980M altho is with superb awesome efficiency , but just lined up abit too long IMO .

suppose to be 2nd quater of this year. either april-june. for asia. might available in da market end this year

If the romour reportedly 40% increase in performance is indeed true then thats really quite impressive , with likes of CPUs kinda stagnant looking for very minimal performance gain each year .

well, its still rumours. 40% quite high. almost twice as its predecessor performance. this is getting interesting + fully utilised ddr4 ram...

its a 240w power

can get gtx960. probably fit in ur case. and i think your psu might be not enuf power supply for new card. need at least 330w.

hi guys i just got my acer predator 15 so far satisfied with this laptop performance especially on gaming the only problem is its quite heavy

2.7kg?

well, its all compact and really a beast machine..

its 3.7kg... hahaha... damn heavy.

3.4kg other than that no problem so far

i tot its 3.7kg... anyway... as long as its over 3kg... for sure its damn heavy... i guess, u need a bag pack.. that really big enuf with good cushion pad... so that no muscle strain if carry too long

May i ask what does pipeline, core speed, vram and memory interface indicate?

I am considering to get an illegear with either 965m or 970m for games, mostly high setting no need ultra, movie editing, and presentations with connection to projector, and sometimes online conference thingy. I supposed 965m can handle those properly, or should just get 970m for more application support in case needed? 980m unfortunately is totally out of budget.

Waiting for mobile 1070/1080/RX480 benchmarks
