Alright, so.
I was looking at M6800 laptops on eBay and I saw a video where someone upgraded the graphics in their model, and I wanted to do the same because I saw a listing for a GTX 970m for an Alienware 17/18 and I was wondering if it would be compatible? The M6800 I was looking at came with a Quadro K3100M and I thought the coolers would be the same because they are both NVidia Cards.

Edit: The linked ebay auctions might not be the exact models im going to get, just something like them

There is a decent chance it will work, but I think only Dell or a user that's attempted the upgrade can say for certain if it's doable.

The K3100M and the 970M are the same MXM 3.0b standard, but the motherbaord on that particular Precision, at least, may not be compatible with a GeForce card (firmware and power delivery).
