Lenovo Y510p GPU upgrade?

LummusMaximus · Jan 7, 2014

Would it at all be possible to upgrade the dual 750Ms to something more powerful? Just as an example, dual 770Ms? I'm looking at buying one and I think the dual GPU model is an amazing budget laptop.

I know there's going to be a lot of problems in terms of heat for an upgrade, and I'm also wondering if there's any particular thermal pastes that could be applied to help that.

I dont think its possible, cause of the motherboards circuit etc is made for GT750/755M only, and the charger is rated for 170W, not sufficient enough for 2x770M

and even if it somehow would work, you would have ALOT of problems with heat since in heavy gaming the 2nd GPU reaches 90-95C temperatures

edit : and yeah its an amazing "budget" gaming laptop

, typing this post with it right now ^^.

Alright, thanks. Sonthe most powerful GPU available is the 755M? Would you know what kind of performance increase of the 750M i would expect from that, and if such an aftermarket upgrade is possible, or it the card soldered onto the board?
