    DELL XPS 15 upgrade nvidia 525m to 540m for 100$?

    It will be 1080p (1920x1080) I am actually looking at this deal here http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?sduid=0&t=2765603 Pretty good deal imo, my friend has an xps15 he just ordered (not this deal though), and its seems like a pretty solid laptop for the price.

    DELL XPS 15 upgrade nvidia 525m to 540m for 100$?

    it doesn't say. Here is an example link though. I do know it is 2GB rather than 1GB like the 525m. I also compared them at the Nvidia Website. http://configure.us.dell.com/dellsto...l_id=xps-l502x

    DELL XPS 15 upgrade nvidia 525m to 540m for 100$?

    98$ to upgrade at their website. Is it actually worth it? i understand neither is a "gamer card", but those are my only 2 options with this build. I will order with the 2720m i7 processor. I may play a game here or there on this laptop, but nothing serious as i have a desktop for such...

    open GL and 3D3

    So no one running the Nvidia 61.77 drivers have seperate open gl or d3d options under the "quality and performance settings"? (Just want to be sure that's what you are telling me).

    open GL and 3D3

    Ok. I'm a dumb newb. Now that this has been established, please help or explain! I just installed my leadtek 6800 gt, and just installed the 6177 forceware drivers. Now i am toying with the settings, and I noticed that the open GL and 3D3 settings that I think are usually under performance...

    Leadtek 6800 gt on 1280 by 1024 dell 17" flatpanel

    I was all excited about buying this new graphics card and a overclocking it, and running it at the highest settings, then my dumba&% realized my 17" dell flatpanel maxes at 1280 by 1024, not 1600 by 1200. Not buying a new monitor anytime soon, should I still invest in this card, and...

    just got my leadtek 6800 gt

    I know this is off subject, but i'm trying to reuse a thread. Two questions about a Leadtek 6800 gt. 1) I read where a guy removed the mesh fan cover for more airflow, does anyone else recommend that or should I leave it be? 2) After much research, this is without a doubt the card I...

    PNY vs. EVGA vs. BFG vs. XFX.....6800 GT

    The second link says I don't need to change anything with the leadtech 6800 gt, not even the 250 watt powersupply. I read that the dell "250 watts" is a conservative rating, I just don't want to screw anything up, or take away from performance of the card. Maybe I'll upgrade the PS just to be...

    Thanx all of you.......now, my next and last dilemma is this. I have a Dell 4600 3.0 gig, 512 ddr sdram, 250w powersupply, blah, blah, blah. I'm concerned about card placement and wattage. Are these two sites accurate, or does someone have better advice. I don't always trust dell...
