Hi, this is my first post here.
I have an Alienware 17 R1 (Ranger) laptop.
It currently has the AMD R9 m290x / 8970m graphics card and the 1080p 60hz matte screen.
I want to upgrade the graphics card to a NVIDIA GTX 980m 8GB.
1st question - Is buying from AliExpress okay? Have people had good or bad experiences buying MXM GPUs from there? Should I get it from somewhere else?
2nd question - Is there a particular variant of the 980m that is known to work with the 17 R1 laptop? Or is any fine.
3rd question - Should I just spend a bit more to get the GTX 1060 6GB? I don't really wanna spend more than $200 AUD on the card.
There is a good AliExpress sale coming up in a few days that I want to take advantage of.
Thank you!
