Honestly, lovely discussion. It all depends on the vbios (or config within it) with these mxm modules. Depending on your config (firmware + hardware), you will be able to use some cards over others (stock). With eDP (the moded cable), you get access to new gpus as long as they fit the heatsink. Some new display options are quite nice too. @GuitarG For those who can't access ibmnb forums, could you please repost the MXM 3.1 - 0 ohm resistor mod here?

Really impressive work GuitarG. So impressive in fact that I had to make an account just to say thanks for all your work. I have been following your work across forums, really really neat stuff, especially the MXM 3.1. I do wonder whether all these upgrades also apply to 8560w, its older brother with QM67. As far as I can tell, they are almost identical outside of the motherboard.
