Alienware Graphics amp supported and unsupported card list

Hi, I haven't seen anything like this anywhere so I thought I would make a thread. So the title says it all Alienware says that it will only fit up to 10.5 in, FE sized cards but through modifications and other means people have been able to use aftermarket cards, this is a list of supported graphics cards and cards that will not work if you have a graphics amp and have tried or are running a certain card please feel free to msg me and I shall add it to the list although I will not be adding any 950 1050 1050ti or older gen cards, reason is they suck and performance wise your better off spending a little more cash and getting a 960 or 1060

!!!!!!Warning!!!!!!! to all i7-6700HQ owners, after much frustration I found out that anything over 1980 cuda cores will bottleneck this cpu in the aga so, if you stick to anything 1070 (including the 8gb versions) or lower you should be fine (1070ti,1080,and 1080ti all have over 1980 cuda cores) This also applies to the older gen cards so make sure you look at the cuda count before purchase

So you're saying if I have an i7 6700HQ with a GTX 1070 in my laptop already then there is no reason to get the graphics amp at all?

 

Personally I have a 6700HQ 13 R3 paired with a water cooled 1080Ti and haven't had any issues.

 

I have the 17r3 with Gigabyte 1080 Gaming. Works without issue but performance is **** for a 1080....on a good day I can get around 15,000 in Firestrike test.
