I think i found an M17x R4 Compatible GTx 1070m

Check there, It LOOKS like it would fit and only work with the 120hz display, I am going out on a limb here but check it.

 

Thanks for the link mate...will this gtx 1070 require any hard modding to install...or is plug play type like zotac ones ?

 

This card needs an auxiliary power connector. Can be seen top right. Also it's taller, you have to ditch the secondary Storage drive for it to fit.

 

I was going to bring up all these points also I reached out to them weeks ago they told me their prices and I was shocked!


If you are going to pay $900 only to get a non-standard GTX 1070 that requires storage sacrifices and an external power connector then your $900 is better spent on buying a Zotac Magnus en1070 from Striker1234 as the 1070 inside it is 100% MXM 3-B compatible sadly Zotac/PcPartner will not sell these MXMs by themselves or even ship them to users who damaged their OEM cards instead you have to jump through hoops

 

and those are confirmed working with the m17x R4? aka the ivy bridge model

 

I don't know, all I can say is your motherboard must output eDP to tyour screen and your screen must accept eDP because the pascal generation will not work with LVDS

 

I know they wont work on the R3 because the R3 doesn't do UEFI wich these cards need but does do EDP via the 120hz screen/3d screen, The R4 wich does do UEFI also has the seperate connector for edp for the 120hz/3d screen so yeah i'm hoping someone knows

@Mr. Fox any idea?

 

I do not know. I think @aarpcard may have gotten a Pascal GPU working in an old Clevo with a first gen Core i7, so it may work. If it is going to work in any Alienware, it would be one with eDP, not any with LVDS.

 

@aarpcard @Mr. Fox I mean the 1060m supposadly works see here but i can't verify it https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/10982-m17x-r4-gtx-1060-upgrade/

as it stands i am looking for a giant upgrade from my 6990m i have a 3d screen and cable for it sitting on the desk
