Hallo guys,
After doing a lot of internet research I´m still not sure if I dare to upgrade my GPU. I hope some off you can help me make a decision.
I bought this M15x second-hand a month ago and i´m very happy with it. Most of my games run pretty good at medium settings (crysis 1/2), but I would like to play them on higher settings with a higher FPS. I can´t afford to ruin this laptop, but I CAN afford an unused GTX 460M from Ebay. ($175+$45 shipping to the Netherlands)
I have no experience what so ever in building laptops etc. Do you think it´s safe to order the new GPU and install it myself? Is it just plug&play with the old parts of the GTX 260M? I saw some youtube video´s and it doesn´t seem too difficult..
Is it just a matter of installing the card and everything will work just fine? Or is there a change I will experience problems and have to make adjustments to BIOS etc?
Thanks in advance guys!
