VORTEX III upgrade?

[EYEONME]

Hi,

Anyone know if PCS are going to offer the upgrade service to upgrade the GPU??

You need to contact PCS directly, if not a available on the upgrade section I assume no support from clevo is available yet for the latest range of GPUs.

All signs point to no. Its possible if you can change bios yourself but currently PCS will not help you.

Has CLEVO release a BIOS update to fit the newer GPUs?

Simple answer is no. The 780m does not seem the worthwhile upgrade to a 680m however. Ive not looked at enough benchmarks. The notebook review community have this however....its worth a look and seems promising.

Be ware however the above is in no way supported by PCS and WILL void your warranty should you partake in such things.

So basically not yet officially supported

By the time the guy above cracks and dishes out his custom bios the system will be old enough it won't be worth officially supporting. But still those that insist on it will have options. The community funded the purchase of his GPU though so there is interest. The community there is very strong though and supportive of its members.

I am pretty sure your gpu is still going strong, no need to upgrade just yet. Does CLEVO advertise their chassis as gpu upgradable? if that is the case and without the BIOS support then there is really no point of choosing a chassis that allows you to upgrade your gpu.
